Safety Cable; Safety Prop - Opel Automobile Owner's Manual

1-6 Tipper
To tip to the right side, fully insert
locking pins into the front and rear
right-hand pivots. Ensure the handle
and locator on both locking pins are
facing up. Rotate both locking pins
away from the upright position to
ensure the locking pins are secured.

Safety cable

The safety cable attached to the
tipper body prevents the tipper body
being raised too far. Should a safety
cable become damaged it must be
replaced immediately. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.

Safety prop

The safety prop is located under the
left-hand side of the tipper body and
is provided only to assist in
supporting the tipper body when
tipped to the rear, for carrying out
visual inspection of the vehicle
components.
Using the safety prop:
1. Prepare the tipper body for tipping
to the rear.
2. Raise the tipper body sufficiently
enough to access the safety prop.
3. Release the safety prop from the
underside of the tipper body and
fold down.
4. Swing the safety prop downwards
to align with support.
5. Carefully guide the safety prop into
the support position then lower the
tipper body.
