Tipping
• Switch the Isolation Switch to the ‘ON’ position.
• Control the tip using the Tipper Controls as described in the controls
section of this manual.
• Ideally a visible assistant should be made available to indicate progress
of the load being tipped.
• Raise the body to the required height to either tip part or the entire load.
A buzzer will sound when the joy stick is lifted. The body will automatically
stop tipping when the ram is fully extended. The tipping can be stopped
at any time by releasing the joy stick.
• Lower the body until the warning sounder ceases.
• If the tipthru function has been used it is essential that the lower latch
jaws are brushed clean to ensure that the latch doesn't become
jammed open by debris.
• Close the tailboard observing the precautions outlined in the 'Controls'
section, ensuring that it is securely locked. Use a combination of a visual
check around the lower latch jaws if the tipthru mode has been used,
and a physical tug on the tailboard to check that they are fully home and
locked. Ensure the tailboard release handles are in the locked position.
Before driving the vehicle, ensure:
• The Isolation Switch is ‘OFF’.
• The body is fully lowered.
• The tailboard is securely latched.
• The rear wheels are clear of any tipped material.
• The rear crossmember, taillights, and registration plate are cleared of
any tipped material.
• That all precautions detailed in 'Controls' are observed.
Do not drive the vehicle with the Tipper Isolation Switch in the
‘ON’ position.
Do not attempt to drive vehicle if any warning sounders are in
operation
