SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION TERMS YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW BODY ASSEMBLY TAILGATE ASSEMBLY HOPPER LOADING EDGE PUSHOUT PANEL HYDRAULIC TANK PACKER PANEL CARRIER PANEL...
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The main purpose of the 2R-III is to safely and effi- ciently: load, compact, transport and unload refuse. The following describes how the unit performs those tasks in the most basic terms. For a more detailed descrip- tion of the unit and its components, read the complete 2R-III SERVICE MANUAL.
SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION The operator again activates the packing cycle. The PACKER carrier and packer panels move forward and sweep the PANEL PUSHOUT refuse from the hopper up into the body and pack it PANEL against the pushout panel. Having completed a cycle, the carrier and packer panels are back into the “home”...
SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION CONTAINER ATTACHMENT The Leach Container Attachment system consists of a loading edge with a latch assembly and a guide ear (ear) on each side of the packer tailgate. The latches and ears are installed to accomodate containers from ARM LATCH one (1) to ten (10) cubic yard capacity.
SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION GENERAL TERMS YOU NEED TO KNOW The main purpose of a refuse body is to load, compact, Before going further, become familiar with the transport and unload refuse. To assist in loading of container handling terms you will need to know. refuse in containers, various container handling sys- tems are available to be mounted on Leach rear load- ers.
SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION BASIC OPERATION All Leach container handling systems have three (3) basic steps for operation. ATTACH The first step in container handling is to attach the con- tainer to the rear loader by securing it with the latch arms of the container attachment.
SECTION 3 OPERATION GENERAL This section will provide all of the instructions neces- sary to operate the 2R-III. However, prior to attempting any operation of the unit, make sure you are familiar with all of the safety information contained in SECTION 1, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
SECTION 3 OPERATION PUMP/PTO CONTROL (1) The Pump/PTO (Power Take-Off) is engaged to put the hydraulics in operation. The exact location of the Pump/ PTO control will vary depending on the type, truck chas- sis style and control panel location. The Pump/PTO may be engaged by use of a lever, rocker switch, push-pull cable, toggle lever or positive control button depending on the style.
SECTION 3 OPERATION ENGINE SPEED-UP PUSH BUTTON (4) When depressed, this push button switch will cause the engine to speed-up and supply more power to the hy- draulic system. Located on the lower front left side of the body, it is depressed by the operator when operat- ing either the pushout lever or tailgate lift lever.
SECTION 3 OPERATION DRIVER SIGNAL PUSH BUTTONS (8) These two push buttons, one located on each side of the tailgate, are connected to a buzzer mounted under the drivers seat or under the dash in the chassis cab. The operator depresses one of these push buttons to signal the driver when the loading operation is completed and the truck is ready to be moved.
SECTION 3 OPERATION OPERATING PROCEDURES This section of the manual provides all the instructions necessary to start and operate the 2R-III, including spe- cific instructions for loading, packing and unloading the unit. NOTE It is important that operators and mechanics understand these procedures.
Page 33
SECTION 3 OPERATION 4. Make sure the tailgate clamps are in the closed posi- tion and securely tightened. 5. Check the hydraulic tank gauge to make sure the fluid is in the “safe” range. Add fluid, if necessary. (See SECTION 5, SPECIFICATIONS for the correct type of fluid to use.) The pushout cylinder must be retracted, the tailgate down, the carrier and packer panels in the “interrupted cycle”...
Page 34
SECTION 3 OPERATION 7. Start the truck according to the manufacturers instruc- tions and while it is warming up, continue the walk-around inspection. 8. Check all of the operating and running lights. Make sure none are missing and that there are no burned out bulbs.

SECTION 3 OPERATION Do not operate a unit that is in need of service or repair. Report any problems found during the pre-opera- tion walk-around inspection to the maintenance supervisor for service or repair, place a tag on the steering wheel, using a non-reusable fastener, stat- ing the unit is inoperative and remove the keys.
SECTION 3 OPERATION START UP (OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS) 1. Inspect and start the truck as described in the pre- operational walk-around inspection. 2. Engage the Pump/PTO control (to start the hydraulic pump). 3. Place the engine speed up switch in the ON position. ENGINE ENGINE SPEED-UP...
SECTION 3 OPERATION POSITIONING THE PUSHOUT PANEL To load the unit, the pushout panel must be positioned toward the rear of the body. Check the tailgate clamps to make sure both are securely tightened. TAILGATE CLAMPS Depress and hold the speed-up push button. Push the pushout lever rearward until the pushout cylinder is fully extended.
SECTION 3 OPERATION LOADING THE HOPPER There are only a few but important points to remember during loading of refuse. 1. Load the hopper evenly on both sides. 2. Load heavy objects in the center of the hopper. 3. Do not load refuse higher than the loading edge.
SECTION 3 OPERATION USING A WINCH OR CONTAINER LIFT CYLINDER ATTACH CONTAINER Once the container is secured within the latch assem- bly, the lifting cable should be attached. Place the load in the base of the hook with the safety latch closing the throat opening.
SECTION 3 OPERATION USING A CONTAINER PUSH BAR (CPB) Once the container is secured within the latch assem- bly the container is ready to be dumped. After assuring that all persons are standing clear, the operator moves the CPB control lever in the direction shown on the in- struction decal to raise the container.
SECTION 3 OPERATION PUSHOUT PANEL OPERATION DURING PACKING TELESCOPIC PUSH OUT PUSHOUT LEVER The 2R-III telescopic pushout cylinder will normally move toward the front of the body automatically. When the resistance circuit is adjusted to produce maximum load density, it may become necessary to manually retract the telescopic pushout cylinder in order to allow the com- pacted refuse to move forward in the body.
SECTION 3 OPERATION UNLOADING AT DUMPSITE Do not unload uphill or against a pile of refuse. 1. Apply the brakes, engage the PTO and ensure the transmission is in neutral. Relieve the pressure on the tailgate by moving the packer panel to the “interrupted cycle position”.
SECTION 3 OPERATION EJECTING THE LOAD 1. Depress and hold engine speed-up button, push the pushout lever rearward and hold until the pushout panel stops. PUSHOUT LEVER 2. Slowly pull the unit ahead to clear the refuse pile when the tailgate is lowered. Clear debris from the edges with a pole while stand- ing clear off to one side.
SECTION 3 OPERATION SHUT DOWN 1. Move the packer panel lever and carrier panel lever to place the packer panel in the “home” position. 2. Put all controls in neutral. 3. Set parking brake. 4. Disengage PTO. 5. Shut off engine. 6.
Of growing concern to the Leach Company is the use of counterfeit, will-fit or substitute parts. FS Depot re- placement parts are designed and manufactured to A Subsidiary of Federal Signal Corporation exacting standards. The use of counterfeit, will-fit or sub- stitute parts may effect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty.

SECTION 6 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE GENERAL The 2R-III has been designed for long periods of effi- cient uninterrupted operation. Careful attention to proper preventive maintenance, as described in this section, 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.
SECTION 6 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION CHART INSTRUCTIONS Grease weekly (every 40 hrs. of operation) with MOBILUX EPI-SERVICE grease or equivalent. In below freezing climates all grease and fluids Oil weekly (every 40 hrs. of operation) with SAE # 10 should have a cold test rating of at least -20 F. or equivalent.
