Operation
3.6 Refuse Packing Procedure
Packing the refuse from the hopper employs a standard
process regardless of the manner in which the hopper was
filled. See Section 2.0 Control Functions. The sweep and
slide panels are normally in the up and packed position.
The operator must follow ANSI Z245.1 packing and material
handling controls standard, which includes directives that all
personnel are clear of the hopper before starting any packing
cycle or material handling. The operator must remain at the
controls during the packing cycle and be ready to stop the
packing cycle if there is a potential point of operation hazard.
To begin the packing procedure:
DANGER
Use extreme caution around the sweep and
slide area on the rear of the vehicle. Be sure
the area in the hopper is clear before
operating the controls.
Serious personal injury or death may result if
someone is caught in the sweep or slide
panels.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an ejector
force limiter which prevents the ejector from
overpacking the load and damaging the
Packer body.
1. Retract the sweep panel to the open position
(Figure 25, Item 1).
2. Extend the slide panel to the lower position
(Figure 25, Item 2).
3. Extend the sweep panel to the closed (pack) position
(Figure 25, Item 3). This “sweeps” the hopper area and
begins to pack the refuse.
4. Retract the slide panel to the raised position
(Figure 25, Item 4).
