Pavement contact is maintained by rubber dirt
shoes on the sides and rubber deflectors under the
chassis. Optional carbide dirt shoes are available.
HOPPER
The side dump hopper (Figure D-4) is center-
mounted for the best possible stability. With a volu-
metric capacity of 5.5 cu. yd. (4.2 cu.m) the Eagle
Series E debris hopper can handle a material vol-
ume of 4.5 cu. yd. (3.4 cu. m.) to be dumped at hop-
per height.
The Eagle series F hopper can hold a volumetric
capacity of 4.12 cu. yd. (3.2 cu.m) for a material vol-
ume of 3 cu. yd. (2.3 cu.m) to be dumped at a vari-
able dump height of 9.5 ft (2.9 m) when measured
at the bottom of the discharge door.
After dumping the hopper should be washed down
for maximum efficiency and long life.
AIR BAG SUSPENSION
Self-leveling air bags and shocks (Figure D-5) locat-
ed on the rear axle provide a solid rear axle suspen-
sion to ensure stability while dumping and superior
sweeping performance.
