RUSHER ANEL
Press and keep down this switch (see Figure 3-33) to lower the crusher panel to the desired position.
The crusher panel is an option that may be installed on an A
equipped with this option, we suggest you to use it only for bulky items. In many cases, unnecessary
use will slow down the operation. Bulky items can be maintained in place with the crusher panel while
the packer crushes them.
The crusher panel can be lowered upon the refuse to prevent it from popping up in front of the
packing ram, thus increasing the compaction effect during the load breaking sequence.
For users of tip-to-dump vehicles:
To help during the unloading process, a good amount of garbage should be left in front of the packer
and under the lowered crusher panel as you finish your collection route. Once the body is raised at
landfill, you can activate the packing ram to help clear whatever could be jammed in the hopper. This
procedure can also be done without the crusher panel.
