Planning Your Route
It is important to plan your route in order to be efficient. Planning your route will shorten your
collection time and prevent from being caught in a traffic jam. Remember that the A
UTOMIZER
TM
RECYCLER was designed exclusively to pick up recyclables.
Safety while Using the Packing System
Packer Description
The packer, made of high strength steel, travels the hopper to push the refuse into the body. If any
piece of garbage exceeds above the packer, it will be crushed or bent against the rear crusher bar,
located just above the opening of the body.
Whatever debris is not pushed inside the body on a given stroke of the packer, refuse material will fall
back in the hopper as the packer will retract. As another cycle is activated by the operator, what was
left in the hopper in the previous stroke of the packer will be pushed into the body.
If the packer does not cycle:
1. Ensure the hydraulic system is engaged.
Warning!
Always keep the warning lights and/or four-way flashers on when collecting recyclables.
Danger!
Never attempt to reach inside the hopper area when either the packer blade or the
bucket is in motion. Severe injury or death may occur.
Warning!
Wear protective safety equipment (e.g. safety glasses and gloves) when you are working
close to the hopper area.
Warning!
Always apply the lockout/tagout procedure before entering the hopper area. See Locking
Out and Taging Out the Vehicle on page 27
