
WARNING
• Never prop a raised loaded debris body.
• Never attempt to raise body when vehicle is on
unlevel ground.

WARNING
• Immediately report any damage or malfunction of
the unit or components to your employer.
• Never ride, or let any other person ride, on any part
of the vehicle other than in the cab.
• Make sure that all individuals and obstructions are
clear of the hoist and body before operating the
controls, and be ready to stop operation at any time
that a hazardous condition might occur.
• Dispose of all waste in accordance with federal,
state, and local laws and regulations.

WARNING
• When positioning the truck at the dump station,
choose an accessible location on level ground.
Raising the debris body on unleveled ground
increases the possibility of tipping.
• Make sure the area is clear of ground and overhead
obstructions.
• Never raise the debris body unless you can clearly
see all overhead structures. Stay clear of all utility
lines.
• Do not dump the debris body over a pit area where
the ground may cave in or is unstable.
• Use care when positioning the debris body to the
dump station. Your vision, especially to the side and
rear of the debris body, may be reduced by the size
of the debris body. Use mirrors to aid vision. If you
cannot see the dump site clearly, stop the truck and
examine the area. If necessary, request assistance
to guide you while backing the truck into position.
• Never drive with the debris body in the raised
position. Traveling with the debris body in the raised
position increases the chances of colliding with
overhead obstructions. In addition, the center of
gravity of the debris body is higher with a raised
debris body, making the unit more prone to tipping
over.
NEVER leave body raised or partly raised while
vehicle is unattended or while performing
maintenance or service under body unless body
is propped to prevent accidental lowering.
The debris body MUST BE empty for service
work.
Never go under a raised loaded debris body.
Never go under a raised body without securely
propping it. Body must be empty.
Use extreme caution when dumping contents of
the debris body. Ensure all personnel are at least
20 feet away from truck. Select a dump site that is
on level ground and is clear of overhead
obstructions. Serious injury or death to the
operator and/or bystanders could occur if
precautions are not taken when dumping the
contents of the debris body.
