OPERATOR’S MANUAL
3.4.5 CRUSHER PANEL
The crusher panel is an option that may be
installed on the vehicle. If it is installed we
suggest you to use it only for bulky items and
breaking the load. In many cases, unnecessary
use will slow down the operation. Bulky items
can be maintained in place with the crusher
panel while the packing ram crushes them.
The crusher panel can be lowered upon the
refuse to prevent the refuse from popping up in
front of the packing ram, increasing the
compaction at any time and also during the
load breaking sequence
To help during the unloading sequence, you
should leave a good amount of garbage in
front of the packing ram and under the lowered
crusher panel, as you finish your route. Once
you are at the landfill and the body is in the air,
you can activate the packing ram to help clear
whatever could be jammed in the slope. This
procedure can also be done without the crusher
panel (Figure #3.16).
3.4.6 BAGS
Any refuse in bags can be thrown directly in
the hopper and are suggested for the commingle
type hopper where garbage has to be thrown to
the farthest side of the hopper. Piles of bags
can easily be thrown in the hopper given its
wide side opening of 60 inches.
