NEVER leave body raised or partly raised while vehicle is unattended or while performing
maintenance or service under body unless body is propped to prevent accidental lowering.
[Always disengage PTO when hoist is not in use or when moving vehicle.] The debris body
MUST BE empty for service work.
• NEVER attempt to raise body when vehicle is on unlevel ground.
NEVER GO UNDER A RAISED LOADED DEBRIS BODY.
NEVER GO UNDER A RAISED BODY WITHOUT SECURELY PROPPING IT. BODY
MUST BE EMPTY.
• Immediately report any damage or malfunction of the unit or components to your employer.
• NEVER ride, or let any other person ride on ANY part of the vehicle other than in the cab.
• Be certain that all individuals and obstructions are clear of the hoist and body before operating the
controls and be ready to stop operation at any time that a hazardous condition might occur.
Use extreme caution when dumping contents of the debris body. Ensure all personnel are
at least 20 feet away from truck. Select a dump site on level ground and clear of overhead
obstructions that could be hit when raising the debris body. Serious injury or death to the
operator, bystanders could occur if precautions are not taken when dumping the contents
of the debris body.
• When positioning the truck at the dump station, choose an accessible location on level ground. Raising
the debris body on unleveled ground increases the possibility of tipping.
• Make sure the area is clear of ground and overhead obstructions.
• Never raise the debris body unless you can clearly see all overhead structures. Make sure you stay clear
of all utility lines.
• Do not dump the debris body over a pit area where the ground may cave in or is unstable.
• Use care when positioning the debris body to the dump station. Your vision, especially to the side and
rear of the debris body may be reduced by the size of the debris body. Use mirrors to aid vision. If you
cannot see the dump site clearly, stop the truck and examine the area. If necessary, request assistance
to guide you while backing the truck into position.
• Never drive with the debris body in the raised position. Traveling with the debris body in the raised
position increases the chances of colliding with overhead obstructions. In addition, the center of gravity of
the debris body is higher with a raised debris body, making the unit more prone to tipping over.
