3 Daily checks
It is important that your machine is kept in good
working order.
The following Daily safety checks must be carried
out on a Dennis Eagle Ltd. Refuse Collection Vehicle
to confirm the correct operation of the machine, its
controls, safety circuits and interlocks, in addition to
checks specified in the chassis‑cab manufacturer’s and
waste container lifting device manufacturer’s service
information, before it commences service.
The same checks should also be carried out by service
personnel whenever scheduled maintenance service
procedures and inspections are carried out or if a
major repair is made to the bodywork or it’s operating
systems.
Make sure that there is no mechanical damage or wear
evident in the refuse mechanism, especially in the
pivoting and locking of the tailgate to the body.
Any problems must be reported to supervision
immediately.
3.1 Daily safety checks
1. Stand the vehicle on clean, level and stable ground
with sufficient clearance to allow for the tailgate
and waste container lifting device, if fitted, to be
fully raised.
2. Engage the parking brakes.

4. Stop the engine.
5. Turn the ‘Body main’ switch to the Off position.

• Make sure that there is no refuse, paper
or flammable materials near the engine or
exhaust. These could cause a fire when the
engine is started. If necessary, tilt the cab
(see Chassis‑cab Manufacturer’s Operator’s
Handbook) to make a thorough inspection.
