LOADING REFUSE WITH AN ARM
MECHANISM
An option for Rear End Loaders (RELs), an arm
mechanism is an assembly that uses arms that mate with a
refuse container's slots to lift, dump and lower a refuse
container.
Use the instructions that follow to load refuse from a
commercial refuse container into the hopper with an arm
mechanism.
Observe the DANGER and WARNING notices.
DANGER
Your body or clothing can become caught by the blade
while it moves. Serious injury or death may occur if a
person is in or near the hopper when the blade and upper
panel move. Clear the area near the hopper of all
unnecessary people before you move the blade and upper
panel and keep all parts of your body away from the blade.
