Safety 15
Shutting Down the Vehicle
If the vehicle has to be stored for an extended period of time, follow the chassis manufacturer
shutdown and maintenance requirements.
Also:
1.
Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface and apply the parking brake.
2.
Make sure that all moving parts are in their home position (tailgate, arm, body, crusher panel,
packer, etc.).
3.
Turn off, in sequence, the hydraulic pump, the electrical system, the engine and (if installed) the
master switch.
4.
Drain all air tanks and the water trap.

Setting the Body Safety Prop
Safety props ensure that heavy body parts will not move inadvertently.
The body safety prop ensures that an empty body will not lower when you are working underneath it.
Danger! Always set the body safety prop when performing maintenance underneath a raised
body. Failure to do so may result in severe injury, or even death.
