Operation
1. To RAISE the tailgate, ensure that the turnbuckles or
optional hydraulic locks have been opened, then PULL
out the tailgate lever until the tailgate reaches the fully
open position (Figure 21).
NOTE
The warble alarm sounds when the tailgate
is opening and remains on until the tailgate
is closed.
The alarm does not sound if the ignition
switch is OFF or any of the E-STOP buttons
are pressed down.
2. To LOWER the tailgate, PUSH in the tailgate lever until
the tailgate reaches the fully closed position. After the
tailgate is lowered, be certain to latch and secure the
turnbuckles or the optional hydraulic locks before travel.

2.6 Ejector Functions
The ejector performs packing and retracting functions while
the collector is loaded, and ejecting the load when dumping.
The Smart-Pak
®
functions (Figure 22, Item 1) operate
automatically as the slide panel packs the container. A Smart-
Pak cartridge detects the amount of pressure being used.
When this reaches a pre-determined setting, the ejector
retracts to allow additional refuse to be packed. The functions
for the ejector are controlled by the ejector lever located on
the front external controls.
DANGER
Be sure all individuals are clear of the
tailgate area before opening the tailgate.
Remain attentive at all times.
Be sure you have adequate clearance above
the tailgate to prevent contact with buildings
or electrical lines.
Serious injury or death may result if
someone is caught in the path of the tailgate.
NOTE
The ejector contains an ejector force limiter
assembly which automatically controls the
maximum amount of force the ejector will
develop on Extend mode.
