74 General Maintenance
Chute (Co-Mingle Vehicles)
A mobile chute, located in the middle of the hopper, diverts waste on either side of the hopper. It is
controlled from the cab via two push-buttons on top of the joystick. The chute must be inspected and
lubricated on a daily basis.
Inspecting the Chute
To inspect the chute, apply the following procedure:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump.
2. Move the chute towards the left side of the hopper.
If not already done, lower the grabber before attempting to move the chute.

3. Turn OFF both the hydraulic pump and the engine.
4. Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).
5. Enter the hopper using the stepladder.
6. Lubricate the chute pivot point and the cylinder that controls the chute (for more information,
see Recommended Lubricants on page 99).
7. Exit the hopper and go between the body and cab to lubricate the chute cylinder and front pivot.
