You will know that the body is full when one of two conditions occurs: either the packer panel will no
longer complete a pack cycle before returning, or it is impossible to cycle the packer without having
refuse spill over top.
Unloading Refuse
Once you have arrived at the landfill, do the following:
1.
Choose a spot to unload that will allow for the tailgate to be opened without contacting anything.
2. Ensure that your parking brake is set and turn on the hydraulic pump.
3.
Activate the tailgate ‘close’ toggle switch momentarily. This action will free up the tailgate latch
lock blocks.
4.
Walk to the rear of the body and remove the tailgate lock blocks.
5. Get back into the cab and open the tailgate completely.
6.
Release the parking brake.
7. Activate the ‘Eject’ toggle switch, which will push the load out.
8.
Allow the ejecting refuse to push the vehicle forward if required.
After Unloading
Once the unloading process is completed, do the following:
1. Return the packer panel by activating the ‘Reverse’ toggle switch. Stop the packer panel
approximately 60” from the front of the hopper.
2. Activate the Tailgate ’Close’ rocker switch, but do not close the tailgate completely. Allow
enough clearance (about 36”) between the tailgate and the body to engage the tailgate safety
props.
3.
Engage the tailgate safety props as described earlier in this manual.
4. Complete the Lockout/Tagout procedure as described earlier in this manual.
5.
Clean all refuse from the tailgate seal and the tailgate frame in order to ensure a leak free seal once
the tailgate is again closed.
6.
Clean out the hopper as described later in this manual.
7. Start up the vehicle and from the cab activate the tailgate ‘open’ momentarily to free the tailgate
safety props.
8. Walk to the rear of the body and stow the tailgate safety props.
9.
From the cab, activate the tailgate ‘closed’ rocker switch until the tailgate is completely closed.
10. Walk to the rear of the body and re-insert the tailgate lock blocks.
11.
Retract the packer panel to its home position at the front of the hopper.
