Dump body, emergency lowering
The operation of the dump body, i.e. tipping and lowering, is
controlled with servo pressure.
If the engine should stop with the dump body in the raised position
and the starter motor, for some reason, does not work, there will
be no servo pressure for operating the tipping valve and the dump
body must be lowered manually. The emergency lowering bolt is
V1061978
located on the steering and tipping valve.
Use the greatest caution when carrying out emergency
lowering, as it is not possible to place the machine in
service position.
NOTE! Emergency lowering must be carried out from outside
the machine where the dump body is in full view of the
operator during the entire lowering.
It is possible to emergency-lower the dump body in the
following way:
The steering and tipping valve is located under the cab.
1 From outside the machine, loosen the jam nut on the
emergency-lowering screw and screw the screw inwards. Ring
spanner and Allen key are included in the tool set for the
machine.

NOTE! The bolt can be turned approx. 8–9 turns before
actuating the tipping valve spool (count the number of turns).
Continue to turn the screw so that it displaces the valve spool
into the lowering/floating position (i.e. lowering without
pressure).
2 This will cause the dump body to slowly lower unless it is near
its top position and the machine is leaning backwards. In this
case the dump body needs aid to lower through the action of an
excavator or wheel loader, which lifts at rear edge of the dump
body.
3 Reset the screw to its original position.
