Driver Checks and Maintenance Items:
It is imperative that the recommended Driver Checks and
Maintenance be carried out to ensure the safe and efficient operation
of the Tipper.
Any maintenance carried out under the load bed must only be
performed when the body is securely propped, with ignition keys

maintenance involving adjustment or replacement of operating
devices on this Tipper.
The driver, regardless of ownership of the vehicle must perform the following
checks and vehicle maintenance. If the driver does not own the vehicle, the
owner of the vehicle must satisfy himself or herself that the driver to whom the
vehicle has been allocated will carry out these essential checks. The driver

Supplementary Tipper Handbook and carry out the essential Maintenance
Checks in line with the maintenance procedure in this section.
Daily Driver Checks:

that has stuck to it, ensure the surface is smooth and free from debris
that may snag loads.
