24 General Maintenance
Hopper
The area behind the packer MUST be cleaned out EVERY DAY. The packer will not work properly if
waste accumulates in this area; it could cause severe damage to the packer and other related parts.
Cleaning the hopper consists of 3 steps:
Preparing the hopper for clean-up
Cleaning up the hopper
Inspecting the hopper after clean-up
Preparing the Hopper for Clean-Up
To prepare the hopper for clean-up:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump (see Step 4 on page 14).
2. Using the joystick, extend the automated arm.
3. Close the hopper door.
NOTE: The hopper door MUST be closed in order to move the packer.
4. Fully extend the packer (see Figure 3-1), then push the red emergency STOP button (see Figure
3-2).
