The following service checks should be carried out
every 12 weeks or more frequently when the Refuse
Collection Vehicle is operating in severe conditions.
The following service checks should be carried out in
addition to the Daily service checks, Weekly service
checks and 6‑Week service checks.
1. Stand the vehicle on clean, level and stable ground.
2. Prop the tailgate (see Operator’s Handbook).
3. Immobilise the vehicle (see ‘1.2 Immobilising
the vehicle prior to service procedures’ on page
1‑3).
6.9.1 Body checks
1. Check that the body is sitting square on the
chassis.
2. Examine the condition of the following body
components for security, displacement, wear,
distortion, cracks, damage or corrosion, which
affect their strength or operation. Make sure that
brackets, fixings, welds and bolts are secure and
not creating a danger to other users:
• Body load bearing members near the mounting
points.
• Tailgate load‑bearing members near the
mounting points.
• Tailgate lock pins.
• Cylinder mountings and pivots.
• Body access door and its hinges, locks and
switch.
• Ejection plate.
• Ejection plate guides.
• Ejection plate slide blocks.
3. Check that structural (stressed) panels are not
damaged or worn to less than 75% of their original
thickness.
6.9.2 Tailgate checks
1. Check that the tailgate is sitting square on the
body.
2. Check that the carriage plate assembly is sitting
square in its tailgate.
3. Examine the condition of the following body
components for security, displacement, wear,
distortion, cracks, damage or corrosion, which
affect their strength or operation. Make sure that
brackets, fixings, welds and bolts are secure and
not creating a danger to other users:
• Tailgate pivots.
• Rave rail.
• Tailgate lock hooks.
• Packer plate.
• Packer plate pivot pins and bushes.
• Carriage plate guides.
• Carriage plate.
• Carriage plate slide blocks.
Note: Since the carriage plate is subjected to rough
treatment, superficial damage that does not affect
the strength of the component is not a reason for
rejection.
4. Check that gap between the carriage plate and
refuse retaining plate is between 1 ‑ 5 mm.
5. Examine the condition of the tailgate seal for
security, damage, wear, shape, bulging, splits or
perishing.
