Tipper body

PrESEntAtIOn

The tipper body is raised by a electro-hydraulic unit powered by the

vehicle's battery.

Power to raise the tipper body is generated by the motor in the

electro-hydraulic unit.

Raising and lowering the the tipper body done is by pressing and

holding the corresponding buttons on the magnetic and portable

remote control mounted on on a carrier in the cab.

The tipper body is lowered by an electrovalve that opens a fluid

return from the ram.

A safety device prevents the tipper body from dropping when static

or being raised.

Tipper body

SAFEtY AdVIcE

●

Ensure that there is no person or obstacle nearby (below or

above) when unloading.

●

Never drive, even slowly, with the tipper body raised.

●

Never leave the tipper body raised when not in use.

Discharge onto a flat and hard surface: a sloping

or loose surface may cause a change in the centre

of gravity, with an adverse affect on the stability of

the vehicle.

Always discharge the load with the top part of the rear body side

secured.

●

Observe the maximum payload on the weights plate on the

vehicle.

Check regularly that the suspension is in good condition and

that the tyres are inflated to the recommended pressures.

●

Distribute the load uniformly in the tipper body.

Transport similar products that discharge easily.

General points

For more information, refer to your registration certificate.

Before towing a trailer, check

that:

In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads authorised by

local legislation are complied with. To find out your vehicle's towing

capacities and its gross train weight, consult a franchised dealer.

-

the nose weight on the

towbar ball does not exceed

the value (S) indicated on

the trailer's weights plate,

The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply

with the legislation in force in your country).

-

the maximum trailer weight

is less than the value

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.

indicated on the trailer's

weights plate and the Gross

Vehicle Weight (GVW)

does not exceed the value

indicated on the vehicle's

weights plate.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a

maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load mentioned must

be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1000 metres.

-

in the case of a self-

supporting trailer, the Gross

Train Weight must not

exceed the value indicated

on the vehicle's weights

plate.

High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the

performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when the

ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.

The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg) +

fuel tank ﬁlled to 90%.

Tipper body

HYdrAuLIc SYStEM

these precautions are mandatory for any work on the hydraulic

system.

●

When 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),

●

Never work under a tipper body that is not supported,

Switch off the power supply to the electro-hydraulic unit using

the circuit breaker,

●

Vehicle stationary, engine off.

As a safety measure we strongly advise against doing anything

under the tipper body while it is being operated or while it is

being serviced.

reservoir

cleaning the valve slider

Check and top up the fluid level regularly. Replace the fluid

annually. Replace the fluid if it contains water.

●

Remove the plug 244A taking care to recover the ball.

Using a wide screwdriver, remove the bore / piston bolt

assembly.

Check the condition of the hydraulic hose and the sealing of the

hydraulic system regularly.

●

Check that the piston slides smoothly and remove any

impurities. Pass a magnet over if there is any swarf present.

Pump and motor

Refit the assembly and ensure that the piston slides smoothly.

Retain the ball with some grease on the plug for reassembly.

Requires no servicing, the ball bearings are lubricated for life and

the plain bearings by the pumped fluid.

Bleed the hydraulic system.

Lubrication

The tipper body and ram pivots do not have grease nipples.

Lubricate regularly the hinges and retainers for the tipper body sides

as well as the catches for the rear tipper body side.

Bleed the electro-hydraulic unit

●

Remove the hexagonal plug 257.

Slacken by a half turn the bolt 587 located inside, using a

hexagonal 6 mm spanner.

Sub-chassis and tipper body

●

Operate the electro-hydraulic unit for a few moments by

pressing the raise button.

For maximum life, we recommend that you clean your tipper body

by washing it down regularly with hose.

The tipper body does not rise, or very slowly. When fluid flows

from the orifice, the system is bled.

Touch-in the paint chips quickly to avoid the spread of rust.

Retighten bolt 587 and refit the plug 257, check that the tipper

body lowers correctly.

After 8 months of use, check the tightening torque of the

fixings of the underbody to the chassis (following the

recommendations of the body converter).
