N
OTE
:
During the process of unloading packed refuse carried in the body, the packer performs several
short strokes before the complete and final stroke. This is done to prevent waste or refuse from
piling up on the follower panels, which would ultimately fall behind the packer. The number of
short strokes made by the packer during the unloading process is set at the factory.
Light Bar Control Pad (optional)
The light bar control pad allows the operator to activate and deactivate the light bar mounted on the
tailgate.

In-Cab Packer Control Station
The M
INIMAX
TM
has a single packer control station located on the cab console. This control station is
made up of 3 control buttons.
Here is a brief description of these buttons:
Stop Push-Button (red)
The Emergency Stop button will stop all hydraulic functions on the truck (tailgate, crusher panel,
etc.). By pressing the red button, the packer and the automated arm will stop where they are. The red
button has to be manually pulled out and the Pump switch on the control panel (see Figure 3-20) has
to be reengaged to reactivate the hydraulic system.
