OPERATION
ENGINE SPEED-UP PUSH BUTTON (4)
When depressed, this push button switch will cause the
engine to speed-up and supply more power to the hy-
draulic system. Located on the lower front left side of
the body, it is depressed by the operator when operat-
ing either the pushout lever or tailgate lift lever.
NOTE
Additional speed-up control buttons may be installed
with optional winches and container handling attach-
ments.
FRONT CONTROL VALVE
The front control valve is located behind the access door
on the front left side of the body. The control levers for
this valve extend out through a cutout in the door. This
valve controls the ejection (pushout) panel and the lift-
ing of the tailgate.
PUSHOUT LEVER (5)
The upper lever controls the movement of the pushout
panel. Moving the control lever rearward (toward the
tailgate) will move the pushout panel to the rear. Mov-
ing the control lever forward (toward the cab) will move
the pushout panel to the front.
TAILGATE LIFT LEVER (6)
The lower lever controls the tailgate. Moving the lever
rearward (toward the tailgate) will raise the tailgate.
Moving the lever forward (toward the cab) will lower the
tailgate.
TAILGATE CLAMPS (7)
Tailgate clamps are located on each side of the tailgate
at the bottom where the tailgate rests against the body.
They are used to secure the tailgate to the body during
operation. They must be manually loosened and swung
away from the body before raising the tailgate.
Before attempting to loosen the tailgate clamps,
pressure against the tailgate must be relieved by
opening the packer panel to the “interrupted cycle”
stop position.
