Dump body
WARNING!
Keep away from the area under the dump body when it is
raised, unless it has been secured with the dump body lock
and the tipping (dumping) control has been blocked with
the lock-out control, see pages 48 and 94.
Check the dump body rubber cushions, which fit up against
the top of the trailer unit frame, every 1000 hours. A first
check should be carried out after 100 hours and also after
replacing.
Rubber cushions, checking and adjusting
vertically
Before checking, the respective rubber cushions and the top of the
frame should be cleaned.
The dump body must be empty and lowered onto the frame and
the tipping control in position 2 operating position (lowering/
floating position). When adjusting, it is important that any
clearance and compression becomes the same on both sides of
the trailer unit frame.
The front cushions (A) should have the same clearance between
cushion and frame, 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in).
The rear rubber cushions (B), positioned over the bogie, should fit
up against the body and be compressed to the same extent on
both sides.
Adjust with shims under the rear rubber cushions (B).
Use shims according to the Parts Catalogue for adjusting the
rubber cushions and the sideways guides.
IMPORTANT! It is important that the area around and under
the rubber cushions is kept clean. Dirt, which collects here,
considerably increases the risk of damage to the machine,
primarily to the frame.
Adjusting washers, checking and adjusting
dump body sideways
At the rear attachment of the dump body, the tipping joint, a 1 mm
(0.04 in) clearance is permissible at each tipping joint bearing.
Adjust with adjusting washers (A).
For adjusting the axial clearance of the tipping joint, use adjusting
washers.
At the front side guide of the dump body, a clearance of max. 1 mm
(0.04 in) on either side is permissible. Adjust with shims.
After any adjustment, check that the end surface of the horizontal
lock screws does not protrude outside the guide plate. Otherwise
there is a risk of damage to the side guide or rear frame.
