Tipper
Safety recommendations
The tipper body is raised by an electro-
hydraulic unit powered by the vehicle's battery.The tipper body is raised and lowered by
pressing and holding the corresponding
buttons on the magnetic and portable remote
control situated on a
support in the cab.
The tipper body is raised by the motor in the
electro-hydraulic unit.
The tipper body is lowered by a solenoid valve
that opens the fluid return of the ram.
A safety device prevents the tipper body from
dropping when it is not moving or is being
raised. •
N
ever drive with a drop panel lowered.
•
E
nsure that there is no person or
obstacle nearby (below or above)
when unloading.
•
N
ever leave the tipper body raised
when not in use.
•
A
lways discharge the load with the
upper part of the rear drop panel
secured.
•
O
bser ve the maximum payload on the
weight plate on the vehicle.
•
C
heck regularly that the suspension
is in good condition and that the tyres
are inflated to the recommended
pressures.
•
D
istribute the load uniformly in the
tipper body.
•
T
ransport similar products that
discharge easily.
•
N
ever drive, even slowly, with the
tipper body raised.
Tip onto a
sur face that is flat
and hard: a sur face that is
sloping or loose could cause
the centre of gravity to shift,
making the whole vehicle
unstable.

Weights and towed
loads (kg)
With load transfer, the braked trailer weight can
be increased, on condition that the equivalent
of this load is removed from the vehicle so that
the GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing with
a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an
adverse effect on its road holding.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight without
load + driver (75
kg) + fuel tank filled to 90%.
Hydraulic system
These precautions are mandator y for any
work on the hydraulic system. Before towing a trailer, check that:
-
t
he nose weight on the towbar ball does
not exceed the value (S) indicated on the
trailer's weight plate,
-
t
he maximum trailer weight is less than
the value indicated on the trailer's weight
plate and the Gross Vehicle Weight (GV W)
does not exceed the value indicated on the
vehicle's weight plate.
-
i
n the case of a self-supporting trailer,
the Gross Train Weight (GTW) must not
exceed the value indicated on the vehicle's
weight plate.
•
N
ever work under a tipper body that is not
supported,
• S witch off the power supply to the electro-
hydraulic unit using the circuit breaker,
•
V
ehicle stationary, engine off.
•
W
hen carrying out maintenance work
under the tipper body, place the tipper body
in the safety position secured with its stay
(position indicated by a red arrow under the
back of the tipper body),
