TIPPING THE TRAILER BODY
(continued)
TT85G (Manual Pump)
The tipping system comprises a manually operated hydraulic pump
to operate the lifting ram (fig 10).
Operation
Check that the release valve is closed. After checking that the rear
of the trailer is clear, operate the manual pump lever to tip the trailer
body.
It may be necessary to move the trailer forward before the full load
has been released to avoid the load coming in contact with the rear
of the trailer. Lower the body slightly to hold the load back before
moving the trailer forward.
To lower the body, check that the area between the body and
chassis is clear of obstructions and open the release valve slowly.
Control the rate of descent by opening and closing the valve as
required.
