DESCRIPTION
The standard body is an all welded construction with
all wear plates fabricated from high hardness
(min. 360 BHN) 1 000 MPa (145 000 lbf/in
2
) yield
strength steel. Angled lower body sides reduce body
impacts when loading and a tailshute angle of 25°
provides good retention when travelling without a
tailgate. Refer to Section 000-0000, GENERAL
INFORMATION for body capacities.
The body is pivoted at the rear of the trailer frame and
is operated by two single stage, double acting hoist
cylinders which are cushioned at both ends of the
stroke to reduce impact shocks. The hoist cylinders
raise the body to a tipping angle of 65° in
12 seconds and powerdown the body in 7.5 seconds.
OPERATION
The body control joystick, mounted on the right hand
dash panel, controls the hydraulic control valve
operation, by means of electrical signals to the
pressure reducing valves, which in turn operates the
body hoist cylinders. The four operating positions of
the joystick from front to rear are as follows:
'FLOAT' - The joystick should be moved to this
position while the body is lowering by gravity and
should remain in this position until the body must be
operated again. The control joystick should always be
kept in 'FLOAT' while the machine is in motion.
'LOWER' - Pushing the joystick forward and holding it
in this position provides hydraulic force to power-down
the body. It is needed when the body cannot be
