Function description
4.2 Tipping 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 tipping (danger
zone).
- Check the headroom before tipping.
- Never tip the container if the vehicle is at an angle to its longitudinal axis or is on an unstable
surface, as the vehicle can then topple over.
- Never tip the container if the rear axle is blocked (cylinders extended); the axle interlocking
facility breaking would then lead to a shock effect.
- Never empty the container by shaking it nor exposing it to other types of shock as this may
damage the system.
1. Drive the vehicle to the location where the container is to be tipped. This location must be sufficiently
straight and flat and its surface should be sufficiently firm.
2. Apply the tractor’s hand brake.
3. Switch on the PTO.
4. Check the overhang of the container; an excessively large overhang will result in the rear end of the
container hitting the ground while tipping. This will damage the system.
5. Carry out a visual check to make sure that the container is secured properly by the mechanism on the
rear of the system.
DANGER! Never stand behind the container door(s); be prepared for the door(s) being under
tension from the load.
6. Open the container door(s).
7. Use the adjusting mechanism to put the system into the container tipping position.
8. Operate the lever to extend the large cylinder gently and gradually so that the container will be tilted.
Apply a sufficiently high motor/engine speed here but do not exceed the maximum rpm specified.
(1,000 rpm)
9. If the capacity of the system is found to be insufficient, you are allowed to buckle the first part of the
tower, thus causing the container to slide back a little. After a max. height of 0.5 metres, put the
tower in a straight position again because the container will slide out of its securing device
while the tower is buckled.
