Tailgate
(optional equipment)
WARNING
Risk of crushing.
Heavy material sticking to the tailgate could cause tipping of the
tractor unit and could lead to accidents resulting in serious
crushing injury.
Always remove the tailgate before transporting heavy sticky
material.
Machines equipped with overhung tailgate or overhung tailgate in
combination with underhung tailgate may only transport materials
that can pass out through the tailgate when dumping. There is a
risk that, e.g., stones can jam between the body and tailgate when
dumping.
Onboard weighing (OBW)
Load weighing
(Optional equipment)
If the machine is equipped with on-board weighing, the operator
receives continuous information about the load's weight on the
information display unit during loading, operating, and unloading.
The load's weight is indicated in tons or short tons.
NOTE!
The accuracy of the load weight increases with the length of the
covered distance.
Proportion of the total load that is in the body is shown using load
indicator lights and the animation. See also On-Board weighing
(OBW) in section Information display unit on page
53
.
In the information display unit there is also information on total
load since last reset, see under Cycle information in section
Information on page
62
.
The operator of the loading machine receives information about
the load's weight from the external load indicator lights.
Amber, red, or green load indicator light turns on in the information
display unit and also externally depending on the load's weight.
- Amber light turns on when the machine is partially loaded
(75-95% of max. load weight)
- Green light turns on when the machine is loaded with max. load
weight (95-110% of max. load weight)
- Red light turns on in case of overloaded machine (more than
110% of max. load weight)
No light is on if the load is less than 75% of max. load weight.
The light turns off when the machine starts to roll. The machine
can be adapted so that the light remains on when operating,
contact a qualified workshop.
