Read and thoroughly understand this Operator’s Manual before using the vehicle.
The A
UTOMIZER
TM
H
ELPING
-H
AND
is a straight-frame, side-loading vehicle, manufactured to the
highest standards, and designed to collect residential and commercial refuse and recycling materials.
This vehicle is a modified version of the standard Labrie A
UTOMIZER
TM
. It has been modified to be
equipped with a H
ELPING
-H
AND
TM
arm
1
. Thanks to carefully engineered hydraulics, the H
ELPING
-
H
AND
TM
arm maneuvers smoothly with exacting precision, and is easy to operate in narrow space.
Also, this arm is easier to maintain than the R
IGHT
-H
AND
TM
arm which usually equips the
A
UTOMIZER
TM
. Along with this modification, bigger clean-out traps have been added on both sides of
the truck and a simplified and shortened hydraulic circuit has been installed under the body for best
performance and efficiency.

vehicles are designed to allow
a single person
to collect waste in roller
carts without exiting the cab. The H
ELPING
-H
AND
TM
arm can extend up to 10 ft. and lift up to 400 lbs
when fully extended.
On the productivity side, the A
UTOMIZER
TM
H
ELPING
-H
AND
can make 180 pickups per hour on
average thanks to its auto-packing functionality.
The A
UTOMIZER
TM
H
ELPING
-H
AND
also comes with the electronic multiplexed system designed to
make the collection process more efficient and the troubleshooting process more orderly and
manageable.
Once the body of the A
UTOMIZER
TM
H
ELPING
-H
AND
is full, all its content is unloaded at a waste
management landfill or other appropriate site (e.g. transfer station, incinerator, recycling station).
