POWER HOIST DOWN

Before mounting the body, the hoist must be completely closed to make certain that the hoist gives full lift
height and performance. Make sure the lift angles are straight up and down.
For hydraulic systems with the direct mount gear pump, start the truck engine, engage the PTO and power
down the hoist to "bottom-out" the hydraulic cylinder and the hoist frame. Place the hoist valve control in
the "hold" position. Both the hoist frame and the hydraulic cylinder are now completely closed.
For hydraulic systems with the double-acting electric pump, press and hold the `DOWN' push-button on
the control to "bottom-out" the hydraulic cylinder and the hoist frame. Release the `DOWN' push-button.
Both the hoist frame and the hydraulic cylinder are now completely closed.

INSTALL TIPPER BODY ON TRUCK

Place the Tipper body on the subframe so the front of the body and the front end of the subframe are even.
Make sure there is sufficient clearance between the body and the reservoir/valve assembly. Relocate the
reservoir/valve assembly if necessary. Carefully align the body longbeams to the subframe rails. Securely
weld the rear hinge bracket to the longbeams. Securely weld the hoist lift plates to the boxed-in sections
of the longbeams.
DO NOT WORK UNDER A RAISED BODY UNLESS THE BODY IS
SECURELY BLOCKED OR PROPPED IN THE RAISED POSITION.
If the body and subframe have been assembled at the factory, finish welding the hoist lift brackets to the
fill plates on the inside of the longbeams.

INSTALL OTHER BODY ON TRUCK

Study the diagram in Fig. 10 before installing the body. Make sure there is enough clearance under the
body for the hoist to fit. The inside of the longbeams should be boxed in to provide a flat surface for weld-
ing the body and hoist together. Carefully measure the location of the hoist lift plate and mark this location
on the inside of the longbeams and box in the inside of the longbeams. Place the body on the truck with
3 to 5 inches of clearance behind the cab. Make sure there is sufficient clearance between the body and
the reservoir/valve assembly. Relocate the reservoir/valve assembly if necessary. Carefully align the body
longbeams to the subframe rails. Securely weld the rear hinge bracket to the longbeams. Securely weld the
hoist lift plates to the boxed-in sections of the longbeams.
DO NOT WORK UNDER A RAISED BODY UNLESS THE BODY IS
SECURELY BLOCKED OR PROPPED IN THE RAISED POSITION.
