HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) DRIVING TO PICK-UP LOCATIONS ® Whenever you drive the Half/Pack (featuring Odyssey Controls) unit to and from a route, along the route, to the landfill, etc., make sure the unit is set up as follows: 1.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) COMMERCIAL LOADING/UNLOADING SEQUENCE QUICK REFERENCE The following six steps show the basic procedures to pick up a commercial refuse container, dump it into the hopper, set the container back down and compact the load. See the figure below. Use these quick-reference illustrations for overview purposes only.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) COMMERCIAL LIFTING AND LOADING NOTES: REFUSE Use the following procedure at each stop along the route to load refuse into the unit. Observe all DANGER and WARNING notices. Follow These Steps: 1. Approach the container squarely and stop a few feet from the container.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) 6. Move the unit forward SLOWLY until both forks are in COMMERCIAL LIFTING AND LOADING the container pick-up sleeves. After the forks are fully REFUSE (CONTINUED) inserted, use the arm control and cradle the container on the forks and arms.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) COMMERCIAL LIFTING AND LOADING raise the container, alternating operation of the lift arm REFUSE (CONTINUED) and fork controls to keep container level to the ground while you raise the lift arms over the cab. ONLY trained and experienced operators should level the NOTICE forks during an ARM RAISE operation.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) COMMERCIAL LIFTING AND LOADING REFUSE (CONTINUED) Figure 81. Rotate Container Back before Lowering Manual Packer Override NOTICE Operation of the packer while you dump refuse in the hopper can cause damage to the unit. Do not use the packer override switch for the manual packer when you dump the refuse from the container into the hopper.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) COMPACTING THE LOAD When there is an appropriate amount of refuse in the hopper, use the packer panel and compact the load into the body of the unit. See the figure below. Many factors affect how often you need to compact the load, including the experience of the operator. See Achieving Packing Payloads for helpful information and guidelines to be followed.
Page 148
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) NOTES: Use the following procedure to compact the load with the unit’s AutoPack function. NOTICE To attain maximum efficiency in loading and unloading, the unit should have a packing cycle time (empty body) between 18 and 23 seconds. Follow These Steps: 1.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) PACKING ON-THE-MOVE BASIC PACKING TECHNIQUES Heil Odyssey units can pack on-the move. This means you Follow these techniques to attain greater efficiency in can operate the packing mechanism while the vehicle is packing the load in your Odyssey unit: moving, as well as when it is stationary.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) BASIC PACKING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED) The lower portion of the packer panel travels further into the body on the packing stroke. With the shape of the panel, it is easy to see how material can fall back into the hopper as the panel retracts.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) BASIC PACKING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED) When bridging occurs, the packer panel will not complete its automatic stroke cycle. That is, the panel may stop before it automatically reverses. In many cases, you do not have a full load at this time. 6.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) All units have a standard packer override switch. When you BASIC PACKING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED) MOVE the Packer Override switch to ON, it lets you manually operate the packer panel with the packer extend As the body gets very full, the material in the hopper is and retract buttons when the container is in the hopper.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) BASIC PACKING TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED) NOTES: NOTICE Remember the machine has been designed to pack full loads as a "Half Pack". NOTICE ® The current production Heil Half/Pack and Odyssey units times the duration of the packer extend and packer retract cycle.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) SUMMARY OF PACKING TECHNIQUES 1. With the first half of the load, cycle the packer panel twice for each bin loaded. When loading large bins (8–10 yards) a third pack may be necessary. 2. Always watch the packer panel for material “boiling up” which could cause jamming or spillage. If this occurs, reverse the panel all the way and pack again.
HALF/PACK ® (FEATURING ODYSSEY ® CONTROLS) LEAVING THE ROUTE FOR THE LANDFILL/TRANSFER STATION/RECYCLE CENTER At the end of the route, or when the unit has a full load, prepare the unit to go to the landfill. Also see Driving to Pick-up Locations and make sure the unit is properly set up for travel.
