2.5.6 Danger of detachment
and covering’s projection
Note:
The covering system is installed by trained and qualified personnel, in strict compliance with all the prescriptions and
instructions of the installation manual. Before installing, the tipper body has to be scrupulously checked for the
linearity and integrity of all the upper edge and the absence of any projecting element or any sharp edge all along the
upper board.
Some operating conditions, such as:
•
improper loading of heavy material (e.g. falling objects over a height of 1 meter);
•
mishandling of the transport vehicle, causing a deforming impact to the sides of the tipper body.
•
transport of hot material (e.g. bitumen);
can cause structural deformation to the tipper body side. These deformations could prevent the covering system from
properly sliding.
If the operator finds the non-opening and/or closing of the covering system, due to a structural deformation of the tipper body
side, he
MUST NOT
drive the vehicle on road, because the deformations could stress the covering system and damage it
irreversibly.
The additional stresses caused by a running vehicle with a damaged or malfunctioning covering system, may also cause the
detachment and projection of the covering in the road.
WARNING!
DANGER OF DETACHMENT AND PROJECTION OF THE COVERING!
It is expressly forbidden to drive the vehicle on road when a structural deformation prevents the covering
system from properly opening or closing.
2.6 Environmental and operative situations that can damage the covering
2.6.1 Danger of unloading material with the covering not completely folded on the front
WARNING!
DANGER OF DAMAGE TO THE COVERING COMPONENTS!
It is expressly forbidden to unload material if the covering has not been completely folded on the front.
2.6.2 Danger of bows bending
WARNING!
DANGER OF STAGNATION OF WATER OR SNOW IN THE TARPAULIN THAT WILL LEAD TO THE
BOWS BENDING!
In the event of rain or snow, make sure that the covering is well unfolded.
WARNING!
DANGER OF OVERLOADING THE COVERING THAT WILL LEAD TO THE BOWS BENDING!
Don’t let the snow accumulate on the covering
.
2.6.3 Danger of ice forming
WARNING!
DANGER OF BLOCKING THE COVERING MOVEMENT SYSTEM!
In the event of temperatures reaching below 0° C, remove the ice between the sliding parts and the
edge of the tipper body.
