General Maintenance 33
Preparing Packer for Removal - Std. Units (Method B)
NOTE: There are 2 methods for preparing and removing the packer panel from a standard
A
UTOMIZER™ vehicle (Method A [taking packer out through the rear of the body] and Method
B [taking packer out through the hopper]). If you use Method A for the preparation of the
packer panel, you must then use Method A for the removal of the packer. The same goes for
Method B. The choice between both removal methods depends on numerous factors such as
the mechanics preferences, the condition of various packer parts and the type of lifting systems
available.
Follow these steps before proceeding with the removal of the packer panel:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump.
2. Using the joystick, extend the automated arm to get better access to the hopper area.
3. Fully retract the packer by pressing the yellow button on the packer control station.
4. Turn off the hydraulic pump and the engine.
5. Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).
Accessing the Packer - Std. Units (Method B)
Once you have prepared the packer for removal, you need to gain access to the packer.
To do so:
1. Remove both side rail shields (see Figure 3-13).
6 bolts are to be removed to take off the right-hand side rail shield.
5 bolts are to be removed to take off the left-hand side rail shield.
Danger!
Secure the area around the path of the automated arm when performing maintenance
or repair.
Danger!
Do not enter the hopper while the packer is moving.
