Control panel
To test the new settings of the packer:
1. On the control panel press the MULTICYCLE switch and the green START CYCLE button.
2. Once the packer has completed its cycles and come to a stop, switch OFF the hydraulic pump
and turn OFF the engine.
The number of cycles needs to be adjusted depending on the type of collection route used by the
vehicle. For example, in a residential area, if the houses are numerous and close one to another, it may
be required to increase the number of cycles. This will allow the hopper to be clear for the next house
pickup.
Each time the packer completes a full cycle, the proximity switch located on the right-hand side,
behind the packer, sends a signal to the electronic controller. The controller then counts the amount
of cycles that the packer does, and will stop the packer after the preset amount of cycles has been
reached.

face during your day-to-day tasks. These problems can be of any nature, from hydraulic to
mechanical, electrical or pneumatic.
Select the control module corresponding to the part of the truck that needs to be checked.
For example, if you want to check all functions that are found in the cab, choose module #10. For all
functions that pertain to the chassis, choose module #20, etc.
