Collecting Food Waste
You should carefully follow the instructions below to ensure a safe and efficient collection. All the
safety notions mentioned herein are of outmost importance and you should obey them at all times.
Planning your Route
It is important to plan your route in order to be efficient. Planning your route will shorten your
collection time and prevent you from being caught in a traffic jam.
Checking Procedure Prior To Collecting Food Waste
Before starting collecting food waste, you must apply the following procedure:
1.
Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump (see Pump Switch on page 45).
Wait for the air pressure to reach 70 PSI before engaging the hydraulic pump.
2.
Check the pod ready indicator light (see Figure 3-16).
This indicator light must be green-lighted, which means the pod is adequately placed on the
chassis.

:
For the pod ready indicator light to be green-lighted, the pod must reach the front end of the
chassis rails so that it can trigger the limit switch fixed to the hopper floor, near the left-hand
side chassis rail (see Figure 4-9).
3.
Ensure the pod lock switch on the control panel is activated (green-lighted) [see Figure 4-8].
This switch controls the air-actuated hooks that securely hold the pod.

Danger! Be sure there is enough clearance to handle the container safely from the way up to the way
down. Make sure nobody is near the vehicle.
