Make sure that no-one is in the danger area (see page 7). Then:
•
SLOWLY move the tipper lever out of 'hold' towards 'lower'; this
will automatically disengage the PTO and the warning light will
go out. If automatic PTO disengagement is not fitted, switch the
PTO to 'out' before driving off
•
regulate the speed the body comes down by moving the lever
towards 'hold' to slow it down or towards 'lower' to speed its
descent
•
when the body is down, move the lever back to 'hold'
•
lock the taildoor
DO NOT DRIVE OFF UNTIL THE BODY IS FULLY DOWN.
MAKE SURE THAT THE PTO IS DISENGAGED BEFORE
DRIVING OFF.
When UNLADEN leave the cab control in HOLD to minimise body
bounce.
When LOADING put the cab control in LOWER to ensure that no oil is
trapped in the cylinder and the entire load rests on the chassis. Then
return the control to HOLD when travelling.
