INSTRUCTIONS OF INSPECTION FOR OVER-PACKING

Use the instructions that follow and perform the inspections necessary and any necessary actions due to damage to the

unit from over-packing.

A. Prepare the Unit for Inspection of Cracks

1. Before performing the inspections, you must set up the unit.

2. Clear the area around the unit of all unnecessary people and equipment.

3. Start the engine and let the hydraulic oil warm up to at least 100 degrees F. Monitor the temperature sight gauge for

the temperature of the hydraulic oil. When the unit is in a cold-weather climate and the ambient air temperature is

below 0 degrees F, follow the procedures in the Operator’s and Service for Cold Weather Warm-Up Procedure .

DANGER

A tailgate in motion is dangerous. Serious injury or death can occur if a person is struck by a moving tailgate or becomes

trapped between the tailgate and the body. Clear the area near the tailgate of all unnecessary people before you lower the

tailgate.

DANGER

Always prop the tailgate when you must leave it raised for maintenance, service, or cleaning procedures. Placing any part

of your body between the unit’s body and the tailgate at any time, including while you prop the tailgate or when the tailgate

is propped, is dangerous. Serious injury or death can occur if any part of your body is between the tailgate and the body if

the tailgate suddenly closes.

4. After the hydraulic oil is warm, MOVE the TAILGATE LOCK/UNLOCK switch to the UNLOCK position.

5. MOVE the TAILGATE RAISE/LOWER switch to the RAISE position and RAISE the tailgate sufficiently to use the

tailgate props.

6. SET the tailgate props.

DANGER

Make sure no one is in the hopper and body before you operate the packer. Serious injury or death can occur if a person

is in the hopper or body while the packer moves. Make sure there is no equipment in the hopper and body. Equipment in

the hopper or body can damage the unit when the packer moves.

1. Make sure the packer is in the fully RETRACTED position. If it is not, PRESS the PACKER RETRACT button and

fully RETRACT the PACKER.

2. Turn the engine OFF.

3. After you set up the unit, you must put the unit in a Lock-Out/Tag-Out mode.

B. Lock-Out/Tag-Out

Put the unit in a Lock-Out/Tag-Out condition. See Service Manual Section 1 for Lock-Out/Tag-Out information.
