Function description
4.3 Dropping off a container
Before tipping a container, study the safety instructions and warnings. Make sure there are no people in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle when operating the tractor or the hook system. (See the danger zone section
3.2)
NOTE!
- There must not be anybody in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle while picking up a
container (danger zone).
Only drop off containers that have a proper, matching pull-up construction.
- Make sure there is sufficient headroom to enable the container to be dropped off.
- Dropping off a container where the load tends to be in the rear end of the container requires
extra caution as there is a real risk of the container bracket escaping from the hook.
1. Drive the vehicle to the location where the container is to be droped off. Take account of the length
required to carry out the dropping off procedure (approx. 3 times the vehicle length)
2. Apply the tractor’s hand brake.
3. Switch on the PTO.
4. Block the rear axle by activating the axle interlocking cylinders.
5. Use the adjusting mechanism to put the system into the container pulling on/dropping off position.
6. Start tilting the container by gradually operating the large cylinder. Also increase the motor/engine
speed here if desired. (note the maximum motor/engine speed) “1,000 rpm”
7. While dropping off the container, the small tower may be buckled a little in order to drop off the
container in a straighter movement.
NOTE! The tower should be straight again just before the container hits the guide rollers. This
will prevent damage to your hook system and the container. See
8. If the rear end of the container is some 10 cm from the ground, apply the vehicle’s hand brake.
NOTE! The system may get damaged if the hand brake is applied duirng this phase.
NOTE! Never suddenly release the hand brake during the next phase as this will result in an
abrupt movement.
