During the unloading process at the landfill, this switch is used to open the tailgate and eject the load
out of the truck body through the use of the packer.
Figure 3-40 Auto-Eject switch
Press and keep down this switch in order to eject packed refuse out of the body at landfill. This switch
must be kept down for the unloading process to continue. Releasing it will stop the process
immediately no matter what function was active. You can resume the unloading process by pressing
this switch again.
The first function to be active when pressing down this switch is the opening of the tailgate, followed
by the ejection of the load. Once the ejection is complete, the operator must press the yellow push-
button to retract the packer to its “home” position. To lower and close the tailgate, the operator must
press the Tailgate Down switch, ending the unloading process. While the tailgate is open and until its
complete closure, both Tailgate Up and Tailgate Down switches continually flash red and a buzzer
sounds.
The following are the conditions that must be met for the unloading process to work properly:

Pump must be engaged.

All external packer control stations must be disengaged.
The operator must be inside the cab.

Packer must be fully retracted to its “home” position.
