- 41. Tipping vehicle overturns canbe caused by Poorly maintained tipping vehicles Poorly trained operators Imbalanced loads making vehicles unstable Uneven tipping surfaces putting a vehicle off balance, or unsuitable ground Vehicles reversing too far Turning with a raised body Striking overhead obstructions The body in tipped condition does not come into contact with any overhead electric wires.
- 42. Drivers should never use the‘power take-off’ (PTO), which shifts power to the tipping pump if the vehicle is in gear; not leave the control position when raising or lowering the body and not apply straps to hold controls in position; be able to tell when the body is fully tipped and stop the tipping pump as soon as possible before releasing the tipping gear;
- 43. Drivers should drive afew metres forward to make sure the load is clear, after checking that the load is at the bottom of the tipped body. If they have to leave the cab to carry out this check, they should fully apply the brakes, turn off the engine and (if possible) remove the keys; never stand or walk immediatel y behind the vehicle when the body is raised during tipping; never go beneath a tipped tipper unless it has been securely propped with a suitable body prop; never jump out of a tipper that is falling over.
