SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL OPERATION
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that op-
eration of the unit is in accordance with the guide-
lines contained in the Operator’s manual and in ac-
cordance with all applicable codes including Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Ameri-
can National Standards Institute (ANSI) regulations.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment without
proper training.
Move the vehicle as slowly as possible without stall-
ing when traveling in reverse.
Always make sure the area behind the unit is clear
before traveling in reverse.
Do not travel in reverse for distances greater than
those dictated by local ordinances. If reverse travel
exceeds 10 feet, use a “spotter” or move the ve-
hicle in 10 foot increments only, and then check to
make sure the area behind the unit is clear between
increments.
Do not attempt to dislodge any material above waist
level unless wearing eye protection such as “ap-
proved” side shielded safety glasses or a full face
shield.
Never use the unit to push or tow another vehicle.
Never unload uphill or against a pile of refuse or
into the bank of a hill.
Never place head, body, fingers or any limbs into a
scissors point or pinch point on the equipment.
Before operating the vehicle the driver must be
thoroughly familiar with the employer’s safety program
concerning traffic rules, warning devices and hand
signals.
Know where to get assistance in the event of an
emergency.
Know your machine. Know the location and func-
tion of all controls, gauges, instruments and protec-
tive devices.
Wear your seat belt.
Start the engine following the manufacturer’s rec-
ommended procedure.
Always set the park brake before leaving the cab.

Turn on appropriate warning lights, put on a safety
vest, protective glasses and protective shoes.
All service opening covers and access doors must
be maintained and latched in place while operating
equipment.
Ensure all co-workers are in view before operating
or moving any controls or the unit.
Ensure that there is sufficient overhead clearance
before operating the unit.
Ride only in the cab or on riding platforms designed
for that purpose. Riding steps shall not be used
when speeds are expected to exceed 10 mph or
when distance traveled without stopping will exceed
2/10 of one mile. Do not mount or dismount riding
step when vehicle is in motion.
Never allow anyone to ride on the steps when the
vehicle is backing up.
Stop the vehicle immediately if warning lights for
the TAILGATE AJAR system come on.
Never use controls or hoses for hand holds when
mounting or dismounting. Controls and hoses are
movable. They do not provide proper support and
may cause accidental equipment movement.
Make sure the backup alarm is working properly.
Always ensure that all persons are clear before rais-
ing or lowering the tailgate. It is the operator’s re-
sponsibility to warn all persons not to stand or cross
under a raised tailgate.
Do not move the vehicle with the tailgate raised
except during unloading and then only as necessary
to clear the load before lowering.
Stand clear when the tailgate is being raised or low-
ered and during the unloading cycle. If it is neces-
sary to manually clear the debris from the hopper,
use a long metal probe and DO NOT stand under
the tailgate.
Never load the hopper above the loading sill.
Never allow material to extend outside of the hop-
per when packing.
Allow the packer panel control lever and carrier
panel control lever to shift automatically.
