Checking Hydraulic Body Latch operation:
Do not enter area beneath bed whilst bed is raising or lowering.
Observations should be made from outside area of bed.
The Hydraulic Body Latch is designed to prevent the load bed from being
raised by any means other than correct operation of the Tipper control system.
The Latch mounted on the Tipper subframe is hydraulically controlled to
engage and disengage from its corresponding keeper on the underside of
the bed.
Checking the Latch fully releases the load bed
• Park the vehicle on a firm level surface and apply the handbrake.
• Energise control system and operate joystick to lift the bed.
From outside the area of bed, observe that the actuating piston has extended
from the latch operating cylinder and the latch finished in red has rotated
approximately 45°, as shown in photo below.
The Limit Switch beneath the Latch will operate the external warning buzzer
when the Latch releases the load bed.
