Use the auxiliary-arms, shown opposite, to
help load the body and to reduce the friction
between the hook-lift and the body. To do this,
simply tip the body up a small amount so that
the auxiliary-arms are activated.
14. Visually inspect and verify that the body is
correctly loaded.
15. Verify that the warning lamp/icon for the centre lock, in the cab, is no longer illuminated.
16. Activate the hydraulic-lock.
17. Inspect and make sure that hydraulic-lock has correctly secured the body onto the hook-lift.
18. Turn the hydraulic pump OFF.
Risk of Damage
The tip-cylinder's pistons can break or other damage can occur when shunting a
body between a vehicle and a trailer. Care must be taken to avoid damage when
shunting a body between a vehicle and a trailer.
Forcing the hook-eye, on the hook-post, against the top of the body's bracket when a body sits
on the trailer, can lead to damage. This is due to the fact that the trailer and the vehicle act as a
rigid unit.
As the force to the tipp-cylinders increases, the vehicle will lift. It is not possible constrain this.
The trailer on the other hand acts against this force, since it is connected to the vehicle. If the
force to the tip cylinders is increased above 195 bar, it will eventually cause damage.
