General Maintenance 95
Adjusting Chute Proximity Switches (Co-Mingle Vehicles)
Chute movement has to be stopped at the correct position to prevent garbage from falling between
the chute and the hopper wall.
This task is carried out by two proximity switches located near the chute cylinder. One proximity
switch, located on the right-hand side, stops chute movement when the chute goes from left to right,
and the other stops chute movement when the chute goes from right to left.
To adjust the stroke ends of the chute cylinder:
1. Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).
2. Loosen the screws of the right-hand side proximity switch bracket.

3. Move the proximity switch laterally and perform tests until the chute stops at a position that will
prevent garbage from falling between the chute and the hopper wall.
In the cab, make sure that the corresponding indicator lights up.
4. Tighten up both screws.
5. Perform tests to make sure that there is no space between the chute and the hopper wall when the
chute is on the right-hand side (for more information on performing these tests, see Adjusting
Chute Proximity Switch Gaps (Co-Mingle Vehicles) on page 94). It is also important to make sure
that the proximity switch reaches its target and that the position indicator of the chute lights up.
6. Once the right-hand side proximity switch is adjusted properly, loosen the screws of the left-hand
side proximity switch bracket.
