Safety 11
Report any doubts that you might have and any equipment safety service requirements regarding
this vehicle to a supervisor.
When removing nylon locknuts, always replace them by new ones.
For any work (including cleaning and inspection) that has to be done between the body and the
chassis, always use the body safety prop. Also, the vehicle must be on level ground.
Before opening and closing the tailgate(s) and/or raising the body, make sure that there is no one
behind the vehicle.
Do not get into the hopper compartment or try to repair anything behind the packer when it is
moving or when the hydraulic pump is still running. Personnel authorized to get into the hopper
must first lock out and tag out the vehicle, as required by the employer. For more information, see
Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12.
Never stand underneath a raised arm/gripper. Should a hydraulic component break, such as a
hydraulic hose, failure to stay away from the arm may result in personal injury or even death.
Never, under any circumstances (maintenance or otherwise), stand underneath a loaded body.
