PROPER SERVICE AND REPAIR IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFE,
RELIABLE OPERATION OF ALL MECHANICAL PRODUCTS.
The service procedures recommended and described in this service manual are e e ctive methods for
performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially de-
signed for the purpose. Curbtender, Inc. could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service
trade of all possible ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous
consequences of each way. Therefore, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool that is not
recommended by Curbtender, Inc. must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor the
operator’s safety will be jeopardized by the service methods selected. Any person who modifi es their
equipment must do so in accordance with American National Standard Institute Z245-1-1992. It is
important to note that deviating from these procedures could cause damage to the unit or render it
unsafe. However, please remember that these procedures are not all inclusive.
Do not add engine oil, automatic transmission uid (ATF), diesel fuel or kerosene to the hydrau-
lic uid . Service life of all hydraulic components may be adversely a ected.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
Proper preparation is very important for e cient and safe service work. A clean work area at the start of
each job will allow you to perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible, and reduce the incidence
of misplaced tools and parts. If the portion of the unit to be repaired is excessively dirty, it should be
cleaned before work starts. The cleaning process may include the use of high-pressure equipment and
strong chemicals. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions during this process. Clean-
ing will occasionally uncover trouble sources. Tools, instruments and parts needed for the job should
be gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a needless delay.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information provided in this Service Manual, service bulletins are issued when need-
ed to cover interim changes or to provide supplementary information necessary for maintaining
the refuse unit in a proper safe operating condition. Check with your authorized Curbtender
Dealer periodi-cally to ensure all your Curbtender service manuals are up to date.
