4.4 Winch or Reeving Cylinder
The winch or reeving cylinder options are used for dumping
the contents of large containers into the hopper. The winch or
reeving cylinder are controlled by a lever, located at the curb
side rear of the vehicle.
Your rear loader refuse truck may be equipped with a hook
and cable used for tipping commercial refuse containers into
the hopper. This hook and cable is specifically designed to
work with ANSI Type T containers equipped with trunnion
bars and a lifting eyelet only when the container is properly
restrained with the trunnion bars in their receivers and the
latch bars engaged and locked. The hook should always be
attached directly to a lifting eye designed for this purpose,
never wrapped around an object and hooked back onto the
cable. The hook and cable are not intended for any other
purpose than dumping a Type T container into the hopper.
The hook and cable should not be used for lifting, dragging,
or manipulating containers, appliances, or other large items
toward or into the hopper.
WARNING
Be sure non-operator personnel are clear of
the hopper and area surrounding the cart
when operating the Winch Functions. Serious
personal injury or death may result if
someone is near the cart when the winch is
operating.
WARNING
Crush or Pinch Hazard.
Lifting or dragging uncontrolled items with
hook and cable may cause items to move in a
way that can pinch or crush the operator.
Use winch or reeving cylinder hook and cable
for dumping properly restrained ANSI Type T
containers only.
Never use hook and cable for any other
purpose.
Failure to comply may injure or kill.
1. Guide the container pins (one on each side) into the
container latch. (See Section 4.2 Container Lock.)
NOTE
The winch lever will return to center as soon
as it is released. It must be held for
continuous operation.
2. To empty the container, unhook the cable from its storage
latch, and then PULL and HOLD the winch/reeving lever
to extend the cable. Release the winch/reeving lever
when enough cable has been extended.
3. Attach the hook of the cable to the rear of the container
(Figure 30).
