Operation and maintenance manual

5-8
Empty Return
Make sure the body is completely lowered, the body control lever is in the
'FLOAT' position, and the transmission is shifted to the correct gear before
releasing the brakes and moving away from the dump site.
WARNING
Do NOT drive the truck with the body up. No articulated truck is stable
in this condition and, apart from the risk of a rear-end topple, there can
be severe danger from contacting overhead electric cables, trees, or
bridges over the haul route.
Except for the above, the procedure for returning empty to the loading area is the
same as that given earlier for 'HAULING'.
