Safety
WARNING
When working on the Packer, the wheels
must be blocked, the parking brake on,
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedures in effect,
and the keys out of the truck’s ignition.
Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING
Do not repair or weld steel or aluminum
water tanks. Inspect the water tank for
rust or corrosion every 30 days. Inspect the
water tank under the straps, on the exterior,
and on the interior by removing the flopper.
If any rust or corrosion is found, replace the
water tank with an OEM water tank from
McNeilus. Failure to maintain water tanks
may result in serious personal injury or
death.
3.5 Hydraulics
Call McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. at 888-686-7278
anytime you have questions concerning hydraulic hoses,
tubes, or pipes.
Hydraulic systems operate under very high
pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping from a
pressurized system can penetrate
unprotected body tissue. Never inspect for
hydraulic leaks with bare hands or other
exposed body parts. As a minimum, wear
leather gloves and use cardboard or wood
to inspect for leaks. If leaks are present,
relieve pressure and allow system to cool
prior to servicing. If injured by escaping
hydraulic oil, contact a physician
immediately. Serious complications may
arise if not treated immediately.
