Packer Fully Retracted Proximity Switch Test
Successful completion of this test ensures that the packer reaches its “home” position or the packer
cylinder does not remain pressured up or abruptly bottom out at the “home” position.
For this test, proceed as follows:
1. Empty all refuse from the body.
2. Start a pack cycle.
3. Observe the “home” position of the packer when the cycle is complete.
4. If the packer stops before reaching the “home” position or the packer cylinder remains pressured
up or abruptly bottoms out at the “home” position, the Packer Fully Retracted proximity switch
(see Figure 2-13) may need to be adjusted or replaced. Refer to the Limit and Proximity Switches
section in the Maintenance Manual.
NOTE: Packer must reach its home position for the crusher panel to be operative (if equipped).
