Make sure the handbrake is on, the gear lever is in neutral, the
tipper lever is in 'hold' and the PTO switch is 'out'. Then:
•
unlock the taildoor or grain hatch (taking care to stand clear)
•
return to the cab, start the engine and make sure the air pressure
is at the level recommended by the manufacturer
•
remain in the cab until the tipping operation is complete
•
depress the clutch* and wait 4 seconds (8 seconds for a gearbox
with a rear mounted PTO)
•
press the safety latch and switch the PTO 'in' (the warning light
will come on)
•
release the clutch
•
make sure no-one is within the danger area (see page 7)
•
move the tipper lever to 'raise' and hold in position. Releasing
pressure on the lever will stop the body lifting
•
raise the body SMOOTHLY by varying the engine revs but
NEVER EXCEED 1500RPM
•
prevent the discharging load from piling up and fouling the
taildoor by driving forward VERY SLOWLY BY NO MORE THAN
A METRE AT A TIME
•
when the body gets to the tipping angle you want, release the
tipper lever to 'hold'
•
if you need to spread the load, release the handbrake and drive
forward VERY SLOWLY.
* If you have an automatic gearbox, the PTO operation will be different.
Refer to the PTO installer for specific instructions.
