LOADING REFUSE WITH A CART TIPPER
(CONTINUED)
a. PULL the control lever for the cart tipper until the
refuse container lifts over the hopper sill and the
refuse empties into the hopper. RELEASE the
control lever.
When the refuse container’s cover is not closed
because it is overfilled with refuse:
o
Raise the container enough to empty part of
the refuse from container into the hopper.
o
MAKE SURE the cart tipper slide latch
extends and LOCKS the container when you
RAISE the container.
o
If the latch does not extend, lower the
container, make sure the container latch bar
is over the cart tipper saddle and RAISE the
container again. DO NOT continue to RAISE
a refuse container when the slide latch does
not extend and lock the container.
o
Lower the container to the ground.
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.
o
Perform Step 3 (sweep the refuse and
compact it into the hopper).
o
Raise the container and finish emptying the
container.
b. After the refuse container is empty of refuse,
PUSH and RELEASE the control lever for the cart
tipper. The cart tipper will LOWER the refuse bin
to the ground.
c. If the cart tipper does not operate at the speed
given on the tipper or in the cart tipper Operator’s
Manual, refer to the tipper’s Service Manual or
call the manufacturer.
d. Release the refuse container from the cart tipper.
e. Move the container to its pick-up location.
