MECHANISM (CONTINUED)
DANGER
Your body or clothing can become caught by the blade
while it moves. Serious injury or death may occur if a
person is in or near the hopper when the blade and slide
assembly move. Clear the area near the hopper of all
unnecessary people before you move the blade and slide
assembly and keep all parts of your body away from the
blade.
CAUTION
The slide in/out and blade up/down operations can push
refuse out of the hopper or break objects. Refuse broken
by the blade can cause moderate or minor injury. Stay
clear of the packer panel during slide in/out and blade up/
down operations.
3. Sweep the refuse from the hopper and pack it into
the body.
a. PULL the slide and blade levers at the same time
and RELEASE the levers. The levers will self-
center at the end of the commanded position by
way of valve internal hydraulic pressure. See
Loading Refuse Manually (Continued) .
b. The slide will move OUT and the blade will move
UP. STOP the blade UP operation when the blade
is at the pinch point with the hopper sill.
