General Repair Practices Proper service and repair is important for the safe, MPORTANT reliable operation of all mechanical products. The service procedures recommended and described in this service manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
Labrie Enviroquip Group is the use of counterfeit, will-fit or substitute parts. Leach replacement parts are designed and manufactured to exacting standards. The use of counterfeit, will-fit or substitute parts may effect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty.
General Repair Practices 35 a. Examination or lubrication of the PTO, pump or drive shafts b. Entering the front of the body c. Entering the tailgate See Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 28 Always check to make sure the body access door is locked shut before entering the cab. Pump removal: due to the weight and location of the pump, it is advisable to place a floor jack beneath the pump and apply a slight pressure, so that when the bolts are removed the pump is supported.
36 General Repair Practices When preparing to use the torch, make certain that the regulator valves are all the way out to the “off” position before the main tank valves are opened to protect the regulators from sudden impact of tank pressure. When opening the tank valves, stand alongside of the regulators, out of the way, in case they blow out.
Always check the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank after performing any service or repair of the hydraulic system. Always lubricate components with grease fittings after they have been repaired and reinstalled. Use only Leach/Labrie replacement parts. : See Chapter 8 Service and Repair for specific repair instructions. Electrical Testing The electrical system used on the unit consists of various lights, switches and wiring.
38 General Repair Practices The “|” is “blocking” the power from going against the direction of the arrow as a visual reference for path of flow within the circuit. To test, set the multimeter to resistance or diode test, and put the positive (red) lead on the anode side, and the negative (black) lead on the cathode side.

42 GPM @ 1200 RPM Leach Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation All Leach hydraulic systems are factory filled with a high quality anti-wear hydraulic fluid meeting an ISO 32 specification. On units put into service where there are high ambient temperatures or sustained high duty cycles, it may be desirable to change the fluid to an ISO 46 specification (higher viscosity).
Stability over a wide range of temperatures and under agitation is very important. Premium hydraulic fluids should be used in Leach hydraulic systems. In addition to the above characteristics, selected additives should be incorporated to provide additional resistance to wear, corrosion, oxidation, decomposition and foaming.
Preventive Maintenance The 2R-III has been designed for long periods of efficient uninterrupted operation. Careful attention to proper preventive maintenance, as described in this chapter, will ensure and extend trouble-free operation of the unit. Particular attention to correct lubrication of the unit and maintenance of the return filter, are probably the two most vital areas of preventive maintenance required.
46 Preventive Maintenance Lubrication Chart Recommended Lubricants Any lithium-based commercial multi-purpose grease may be used for all lube points, except control levers. Lubrication of the control levers on the tailgate must be done weekly (every 40 hours of operation) using lubricating oil SAE 10 or equivalent. Caution! In below freezing climates all grease and fluids should have a cold test rating of at least -20°F (-29°C).
If low, fill the hydraulic tank to the “NORMAL FILL LEVEL” with hydraulic fluid as specified in the Leach Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation section on page 42 according to operating and weather conditions.
Preventive Maintenance 49 Check/Replace Return Line Filter Element The return line filter is a vital component of the hydraulic system. Without proper filtration, problems are bound to occur among the hydraulic system components. Stick to the strict maintenance schedule for this item. Time lapse recommendations for element replacement: After the first five days of unit operation.
Daily Preventive Maintenance Each day perform the following maintenance: Inspection Perform the pre-operational inspection as described in Chapter 4 Operating the 2R-III™ in the Operator’s Manual. Danger! Never go under the vehicle with the engine running. Death or serious injury could result.
Preventive Maintenance 51 Lubrication Frequent inspection of grease points will indicate when lubrication is needed. Container Handling Equipment In addition to performing the daily vehicle and packer body pre-operation inspection, also check the container handling system. Each day perform the following inspection: Check the condition and operation of the container latch assemblies.
Check all pivot points for wear and smooth operation. Carrier Cylinder Pivot Maintenance Correct location of the carrier cylinder pivot is critical on the Leach 2R-III to ensure proper carrier roller positioning and thorough engagement of the carrier cylinder pivot into the carrier hub. The items locating the carrier cylinder pivot must be inspected during every weekly planned maintenance cycle.
Preventive Maintenance 53 Split sleeves & clamp Cylinder pivot locator roll pin Wire Rope (Cable) A detailed inspection of all wire rope (cable) should be made weekly or every 40 hours of use - which includes checking the wire rope for damage, deterioration and secure end connections. Damage or deterioration requiring replacement of wire rope is indicated by broken wires, excessive wear, heat damage, corrosion, stretching or distortion as shown in the wire rope illustration below.
54 Preventive Maintenance Maintenance Recommendations The packer/carrier assembly should be visually inspected every forty (40) hours of operation for cracked or fatigued welds, loose or broken fasteners, worn bearings, pin hubs or pins. The four (4) torque tube bearing straps should be lubricated a minimum of every forty (40) hours of operation.
Preventive Maintenance 55 Yearly Preventive Maintenance Hydraulic System Once a year drain, flush and refill the hydraulic tank as described in Flushing Hydraulic System / Cleaning Hydraulic Strainer (Yearly) on page 49. Once a year remove, clean and inspect the suction strainer as described in Flushing Hydraulic System / Cleaning Hydraulic Strainer (Yearly) on page 49.

Troubleshooting 81 Hydraulic System The following is a description with flow diagrams of what happens in the hydraulic system of the telescopic system during the loading, packing and unloading operations of the unit. Operator action is presented and then a description of the hydraulic flow and the interaction of system components (i.e., valves and cylinders) follows.
82 Troubleshooting Transmission in Neutral (with Packer and Carrier Panels in the “Home” Position) Operator Action Operator starts the truck and engages the PTO/pump and speed-up system. Hydraulic Sequence Hydraulic fluid flows from the tank, by gravity, to the pump; from there, it is pumped to the FCV (Front Control Valve).
Troubleshooting 83 Packer Panel Sweeps Back Over Load Operator Action The operator moves the control levers inward to start the compaction cycle. Hydraulic Sequence Operator action causes the MCV (Main Control Valve) to shift, diverting flow to the rod end of the packer panel cylinders.
84 Troubleshooting Carrier & Packer Panels Move Down to “Interrupted Cycle” Position Operator Action None. MCV (Main Control Valve) shifts automatically. Hydraulic Sequence At the end of the packer cylinder stroke, pressure builds to 1950 PSI (134 BAR) causing the MCV (Main Control Valve) to shift, diverting flow to the rod end of the carrier cylinders.
Troubleshooting 85 Packer Panel Sweeps Hopper Operator Action Operator shifts the control levers outward to start compaction. Hydraulic Sequence Fluid flows through the MCV (Main Control Valve) packer section to the case end of the packer panel cylinders. As the cylinders extend, the packer panel sweeps the load forward in the hopper. As the packer cylinders extension stroke continues, pressure builds to 1950 PSI (134 BAR) causing the MCV (Main Control Valve) to shift.
86 Troubleshooting Packing Refuse (1) Operator Action None. MCV (Main Control Valve) shifts automatically. Hydraulic Sequence Fluid flows from the MCV (Main Control Valve) to the case end of the carrier panel cylinders. The cylinders extend, moving the carrier and packer panels up, packing refuse against the pushout panel. When the pressure reaches 2150 PSI (148 BAR), the MCV (Main Control Valve) shifts into neutral and the packing cycle is completed.
Troubleshooting 87 Packing Refuse (2) Hydraulic Sequence While the carrier and packer panels are moving up, compacting refuse against the pushout panel, pressure is building in the case end of the carrier cylinders. This pressure is also building in a pilot line from the carrier valve section to the FCV (Front Control Valve) pushout section.
88 Troubleshooting Raising Tailgate Operator Action Operator opens the packer panel to release pressure. Operator loosens and swings away from the body the tailgate clamps. Operator depresses the speed-up button, then moves the tailgate lift lever rearward. SPEED UP BUTTON TAILGATE LIFT LIFT LEVER Hydraulic Sequence...
Troubleshooting 89 Ejecting Load Operator Action Operator depresses speed-up button and moves pushout lever rearward. SPEED UP BUTTON PUSHOUT LEVER Hydraulic Sequence Moving the pushout lever rearward shifts a spool in the FCV (Front Control Valve) causing flow to the telescopic cylinder. As the cylinder extends, the load is ejected from the body.
90 Troubleshooting Retracting Pushout Panel Operator action Operator releases speed-up button and moves the pushout lever forward. : Speed-up may have to be used to retract pushout panel if engine RPM drops too far. SPEED UP BUTTON PUSHOUT LEVER Hydraulic Sequence Moving the pushout lever forward shifts a spool in the FCV (Front Control Valve) causing flow to the telescopic cylinder.
Troubleshooting 91 Lowering Tailgate Operator Action Operator moves the tailgate lift lever forward. SPEED UP BUTTON TAILGATE LIFT LIFT LEVER Hydraulic Sequence Moving the tailgate lift lever forward shifts a spool in the FCV (Front Control Valve) allowing fluid in the tailgate lift cylinders to drain back to tank.
