General Maintenance 25
Packer
The M
INIMAX
™ packer (see Figure 3-2) is submitted to intensive use during a work day (1000 to
3000 cycles). Therefore, some of its components have to be regularly looked at: the wear pads, which
are located at both sides of the packer and inserted in the body side rails, the follower panels, and the
rollers, which are also inserted in the body side rails (see Figure 3-3).
Labrie Enviroquip Group recommends that operators perform a daily visual inspection of the packer
and its components.
