To test the new multi-cycle settings:
On the multiplexed switch panel press the
1.
button (see Figure 9-7).
Caution
Make sure the ball valve on the suction line is fully open before starting the vehicle.
Once the packer has completed its cycles and come to a stop, switch off the hydraulic pump and
2.
turn off the engine (see Figure 9-7).
The number of cycles needs to be adjusted depending on the type of collection route used by the
vehicle. For example, in a residential area, if the houses are numerous and close one to another, it may
be required to increase the number of cycles. This will allow the hopper to be clear for the next house
pickup.
Each time the packer completes a full cycle, the limit switch located on the right-hand side hopper
front wall, just behind the cab (see Figure 9-8), sends a signal to the IFM electronic controller. The
controller then counts the amount of cycles that the packer does. The IFM controller will stop the
packer after the preset amount of cycles has been reached.
Danger! Never enter the hopper while the packer is moving.
