Successful completion of this test ensures that the Hopper Door proximity switch is working properly
(see Figure 2-10). If the hopper door is open, all hydraulic functions should become inoperative.

For this test, proceed as follows:
1.
Open the hopper door.
To do so, just slide the spring-loaded latch to the left and pull open the door (see Figure 2-11).

Ensure that the warning message “Pump: Hopper Door Not Closed” appears on the multiplexed
monitor screen (see Figure 3-1) and that both Pump button and Hopper Door Open indicator
on the control panel are flashing red.
3.
Verify that the hydraulic system has been rendered inoperative by activating one of the control
buttons, such as the Tailgate Up button on the control panel.
Warning! Injury or death may occur if you attempt to enter the body while the packer blade or arm is
