DANGER
Do not use an arm mechanism or roll bar as a riding step. Obey safety messages and use the riding step for when
traveling on the unit. Serious injury or death may occur.
Arm Mechanism – This option allows an operator to load refuse from a commercial refuse container into the hopper with
the assist of an arm mechanism. After the operator secures the refuse container with notches in the arm mechanism, the
operator secures the refuse container with the latch bar and uses the controls to lift the refuse container with the arm
mechanism and tilt the container which dumps the refuse into the hopper. The operator then lowers the container to the
ground with the arm mechanism.
DANGER
Make sure the unit is in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode before you enter the body. When the unit is not in the Lock-Out/Tag-
Out mode and a person is in the body, the packer/ejector panel and/or diverter panels can be operated. Serious injury or
death may occur if the packer/ejector panel moves while a person is in the body.
DANGER
When available, use the side door for entry to the body. When there is no side door, use the front head for entry to the
body. Make sure the unit is in the lock-out mode before you enter the body. When the unit is not in the lock-out mode and
a person is in the body, the ejector panel, slide assembly or packer blade can be operated. Serious injury or death may
occur if the ejector panel, slide assembly or packer blade moves while a person is in the body.
Body – The body stores the compacted refuse until you dump the refuse at the landfill. DO NOT enter the body from the
hopper. Use the space available at the front head or, if equipped, the side access door.
Cab Controls – The standard cab control panel has two toggle switches to operate the pump and the throttle advance;
has indicator lights for the pump and tailgate; and the space for two options: a filter bypassed indicator light and a strobe
light switch. See
Cab Controls, Switches and Indicator Lights for the different controls that may be installed in your
