trapped between the tailgate and the body. Clear the area near the tailgate of all unnecessary people before you lower the
tailgate.
DANGER
The packer and crusher panels are dangerous. They can cause death or serious injury if a person is inside the hopper. Make
sure no one is inside the hopper before you begin a packer or crusher function. Put the unit in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode if
it is necessary to enter the hopper area.

unstable. Always unload refuse from the body before you raise it for maintenance or service procedures. Always use the
body props when you raise the body for maintenance or service procedures.
DANGER
A full or partially full load of refuse is dangerous while you lower the body with inoperative controls. Refuse in the body can
make the unit unstable and cause it to overturn. Serious injury or death can occur if the unit overturns due to instability
caused by the loaded refuse. REMOVE the refuse before you block the body.

injury to the operator or bystanders. Make sure the lifting equipment has sufficient lifting capability and clear ALL persons not
involved with the procedure away from the area.

rolls over. Do not place your body or limbs between the unit’s body and chassis while you remove the body-supporting
timbers. Be attentive and prepared to move quickly away from the unit in the event there is an equipment failure.
DANGER

overhead clearance before you raise the container. If the unit does make contact with overhead electric lines do not touch
any metal in the cab. Stay in the unit until help arrives..
WARNING
Make sure the unit is in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode when you do maintenance or service procedures, or when you go in the
hopper, climb in or on the body or on equipment. Equipment can be operated when the unit is not in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out
mode. When the unit is not in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode, equipment operated while you do maintenance or service
procedures, go in the hopper or climb in or on the body or on equipment can cause death or serious injury.
