Packer
The AUTOMIZER™ packing system relies on a heavy-duty guiding system and high-strength steel wear
plates. Because the packing system is put to such intensive use (1,000 to 3,000 cycles a day), Labrie
Enviroquip Group recommends that operators perform a visual inspection of the packer and its
components every day.
Maintenance personnel must perform weekly inspection and maintenance. Greasing all moving parts
on a daily basis is very important and proper adjustment of the proximity switches is mandatory,
especially on vehicles equipped with a multi-cycle feature. For more information on the lubrication
schedule, see Lubrication on page 99.
Any problems found on the packing system must be corrected immediately. In case of problem,
contact your distributor.
Danger!
Always lock out and tag out the vehicle during inspection and maintenance (see Locking
Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).
