2.2.7 Swinging Body – In Cab Operation
WARNING
The dump body may only be used to swing while on rail and with Raildogs deployed.
There is an increased risk of tipping when the dump body is raised. This is especially
true when the truck is on super elevated track or the body is rotated away from center.
1. Before swinging the dump body, ensure the center lock pin has cleared the body lock.
2. Move the joystick to rotate the back of the body in the intended direction. See Figure
2.2.5. An alarm will sound while the body is being rotated. Releasing the joystick at
any time will stop the dump body from moving.
3. Release the joystick when the dump body is rotated to the desired location. The more
the joystick is displaced from its neutral position the faster the body will swing.
4. After dumping, lower and center the dump body. Check the center lock pin engagement
and verify the tailgate has also been latched.
