FOREWORD
The Deuce is a dual purpose dump body capable of dumping to the rear or to the left (driver’s) side. The
left side is a `dump through’ side, hinged at the top and latched at the bottom. The right side folds down for
easy loading and unloading of pallets or other materials. The tailgate is a `quick-drop’ design allowing the
tailgate to be folded down or hinged at the top.
This manual contains the information needed for the proper installation and operation of Crysteel’s Deuce
body and hoist. With proper installation, use, and regular maintenance, the Deuce will give many years of
trouble free service.
When ordering parts, be sure to give serial number of the body, hoist, and cylinder. The serial number of the
body is found stamped into the front of the body near the trip lever. The serial number of the hoist is stamped
into the cylinder mounting plate. The serial number of the cylinder is stamped on the barrel of the cylinder
near the base. For future reference, copy these numbers NOW in the space provided above. Order parts by
number and description as given in the parts listing in this manual.
1. Engage PTO from cab and adjust engine speed to fast idle.
2. The hoist should raise when the hoist control lever is pulled back, hold when the lever is in
the center detent, and lower when the lever is pushed forward.
3. To raise the hoist, pull the control lever back. To hold the body in a raised position, place the
control lever in its center detent position. To lower the hoist, push the control lever forward.
4. ALWAYS return the hoist control lever to its center detent position after each use.
5. DO NOT LEAVE THE PTO IN GEAR WHILE TRANSPORTING. THIS CAN CAUSE
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PTO OR HYDRAULIC PUMP.
