SECTION 2
INTRODUCTION
2-3
The operator again activates the packing cycle. The
carrier and packer panels move forward and sweep the
refuse from the hopper up into the body and pack it
against the pushout panel. Having completed a cycle,
the carrier and packer panels are back into the “home”
position and the hopper is cleared for more refuse.

Also, during the compaction cycle, considerable hydrau-
lic pressure is applied to the cylinders which control
movement of the carrier and packer panels. This causes
the refuse to be compacted tightly allowing for a large
carrying capacity.
Once the body is full the 2R-III can be moved to the
dumpsite for unloading.

UNLOADING
At the dumpsite the unit is unloaded in two easy steps.
First, the tailgate is raised by the operator.
Second, the pushout panel is moved to the rear of the
body, pushing out the load.
After unloading, the tailgate is lowered and “latched” to
the body.
