Using the arm to load the hopper, fill up the garbage as high as the packer and then press the green
button to get a complete cycle. Be careful of explosive projectile objects and watch for overspills. See
“Pack on the Go” on page 99.
While collecting roller carts, you should start the packer cycle every time a cart has been emptied into
the hopper. See
Loading Procedure on page 95.

If your unit is equipped with a lifting bucket, you can put in this bucket several garbage bags
before activating the bucket raise button. After emptying the contents of the bucket into the
hopper, start a packing cycle to push the garbage inside the waste body. See “B. To load refuse
into the hopper with the optional lifting bucket:” on page 97.
Warning! Always keep the warning lights and/or four-way flashers on when collecting refuse.
Danger!
Never attempt to reach inside the hopper area when the packer blade, the arm or the
bucket is in motion. Severe injury or death may occur.
Warning! Wear protective safety equipment (e.g. safety glasses and gloves) when you are working
close to the hopper area.
Warning!
Always apply the lockout/tagout procedure before entering the hopper area. See Locking
Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 43
