SAFETY DURING SERVICE AND REPAIR
Always wear safety glasses.
Disengage the PTO, turn off the ignition and re-
move the keys before:
a. Leaving the truck cab.
b. Examination or lubrication of the PTO,
pump or drive shafts.
c. Entering the front of the body.
d. Entering the tailgate.
Always check to make sure the body access door
is locked shut before entering the cab.
Pump removal; due to the weight and location of
the pump, it is advisable to place a floor jack be-
neath the pump and apply a slight pressure, so that
when the bolts are removed the pump is supported.
When it becomes necessary to raise the tailgate
for maintenance or repair, do not enter the area
beneath the tailgate unless the proper bracing has
first been applied. All bracing and supports must
be able to support 8,000 lbs (3629 kg).
Never enter the body when the load is under com-
paction pressure. Bring the packer panel to the “in-
terrupted cycle” stop position and retract the
pushout panel slightly.

The radiation given off by the arc will destroy the
retina of the eye. Wear an approved welder’s hel-
met.
Welding radiation will produce severe burns on un-
protected skin, similar to sunburn, so wear heavy
clothing. Use natural fiber or leather - avoid syn-
thetic fiber clothing.
