Packer Description

The packer, made of high strength steel, travels the hopper to push the refuse into the body. If any
piece of garbage exceeds above the packer, it will be crushed or bent against the rear breaker bar,
located just above the opening of the body.
Whatever piece of garbage that is not pushed inside the body on a given stroke of the packer will fall
back in the hopper when the packer retracts. As another cycle is activated by the operator, what was
left in the hopper in the previous stroke of the packer will be pushed into the body.

Loading Procedure

To load refuse into the hopper:
Stop the vehicle so that the arm is lined up with the roller cart.
1.
With the arm parked alongside the truck, use the joystick to extend the arm and pick up the cart.
2.
The operator MUST depress the deadman switch in order to enable the joystick functions (See
Joystick Controls on page 47).
Warning! Never tape the deadman switch on the joystick in order to use the arm.
Close the grabber by pressing the left push-button on top of the joystick (See Joystick Controls on
