During unloading operation check:
•
that the tailboard is open. Otherwise, stop the unloading operation immedi-
ately and set the load bed at rest; do not force the side boards open when
the load bed is in tilted position.
•
Carry out gradual unloading until the load bed is completely empty.
•
In order to avoid risks of injury to people or damage to objects due to falling
objects park the vehicle away from other people's working zone and from
objects or structures that may damage the cargo, also taking into account the
type of loaded material;
•
In case of unloading the cargo inside a building, check the free ceiling height
and the distance from any other possible structural parts of the building
(pipelines, electrical conductors, etc.) in order to ensure that the load bed can
be tilted completely, also taking into account the height increase due to the
extension of the shock-absorbers In any case, do not lift the loading surface
near live electrical lines or gas pipes to avoid the risk of contact or failure to
keep a minimum safe distance.
An adequate load bed cover must be installed when transporting reduced density
loads (granular or powdered material, light material, fragments, scrap, etc.) or material
that can be lifted and blown away by the wind.
In any case, the height of the bulk material loaded must not exceed the height of the
side board.
It is strictly forbidden to stand near or underneath a lifted, loaded loading surface
without securing the safety bar and provided the vehicle is empty
It is risky to lift the load bed when the wind blows strong
