2.6.1

IF PROPER EQUIPMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF YOU ARE INEXPERIENCED IN PERFORMING THE ABOVE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOWER THE BODY OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS. IN EITHER CASE, GET EXPERIENCED HELP AND PROPER EQUIPMENT BEFORE PROCEEDING. IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT HEIL TECHNICAL SUPPORT DEPT. (800) 251-7258.

ALTERNATE BODY BLOCKING In the event the body is in a position in which the factory props CANNOT be used, an alternative method of blocking is shown in the figure below. Be sure timbers are securely braced against the body crossmembers.

2.6.2

IMPORTANT! Body Props must be in lowered position before starting this procedure! 1. Make sure all persons are cleared at least 30’ away from the vehicle to avoid

potential injury or death while performing the following steps, unless otherwise indicated herein.

2. Set vehicle parking brake and chock or block wheels securely so the vehicle

cannot move. 3. Either allow the load to finish dumping, or if part of the load is stuck in the

body, use a backhoe or front end loader to remove balance of the load. NOTE! USE EXTREME CAUTION NOT TO OVERTURN VEHICLE.

4. Block the raised body with two (2) 6” x 6” timbers of sufficient length or

railroad ties as shown to support the body (and load if unable to remove load).

5. Connect a chain or chain sling to an overhead crane, truck crane or other

lifting device having adequate capacity to safely hold and lower the body and load.

6. Attach the chain or cable device with hooks, all of adequate lift rating, to the

body rubrail just behind the front crossmember as shown. Snug up the tension on the sling with the crane, without relieving the pressure from the body supporting timbers.

7. With the chocking and timber blocking still in place, from a position on the

ground, under the chassis frame, shift the control valve, at the valve location into the “lower” position. If the valve is spring centered, wire or lock the valve in the “lower” position.

8. To prevent injury or death, move out from under the truck chassis and clear

all people from the area where the raised body could potentially overturn. Use the crane mechanism to slightly raise the body to relieve the pressure from the body supporting timbers. Be sure the crane lifting device is securely attached to the body and both the crane and body are stable before removing the body supporting timbers.

3.14

UNIT INTERLOCKS There are several interlocks provided to keep a specific function from operating when certain conditions exist. This will affect the operation of the unit and these conditions are as follows. 1. Pump Overspeed – the PLC is programmed to disengage the hydraulic pump

when the engine speed exceeds 1225 RPM with the transmission in gear and the service brake applied. The pump will reengage when the engine speed drops below 1200 RPM.

2. Side Door – If the side door is open, the hydraulic pump will not operate. The

pump will operate only after side door is fully closed, the chassis ignition switch is shut off and turned on again.

3. Filter Bypass Shutdown – If the hydraulic oil filter becomes contaminated, the

hydraulic pump will shut-off. If the oil filter element is not replaced within six hours of bypass condition, the pump will only operate in 3-minute intervals. This 3-minute interval can be reset by cycling the pump switch off, then on again.

4. High Transmission Temperature – this interlock prevents operation of the

pump when the transmission fluid temperature exceeds a safe operating range. The pump will not engage for three minutes after the transmission fluid has cooled to within operating range.

5. Engine Speed Shutdown – this interlock prevents normal operation of the

hydraulic pump when the PLC has become unable to correctly detect engine speed.

6. Lift – for Joystick Control – this interlock prevents two items from normal

operation.

A. Grabbers – prevents them from being opened with the lift in the raised position.

B. Lift Raised – prevents the lift from raising when the grabbers are not fully

closed.
