PACKER MAINTENANCE
The Expert(t) 2000
TM
packing system
has a heavyduty guiding system using
high-strength steel wear plates.
Because of the intensive use of the
packer (1000 to 3000 cycles per day),
Labrie
TM
recommends both:
• a mandatory visual inspection of
the packer and its components,
performed daily by the operator;
• a mandatory inspection and
maintenance, carried out weekly by
maintenance personnel.
Greasing all moving parts on a daily
basis is very important, and the proper
adjustment of the limit switches is
imperative, especially on units
equipped with multi-cycle options.
Refer to “Lubrication” on page 123 for
detailed diagrams of greasing points
and lubrication schedule.
Any problem found on the packing
system must be corrected immediately.
The Labrie Customer Support Center
is available for any type of technical
support.
To prevent breakdowns and to
reduce maintenance expenses,
apply the following procedure:
1. Park the Expert(t) 2000
TM
on level
ground, in an area where small
debris can fall on the ground for
further collection.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Using the
PACKER CONTROL
S
ELECTOR switch on the console,
select the right-hand side packer
control station (see Figure 54.
“Packer control selector switch”).
Note:This switch is found only on
vehicles equipped with
multiple packer control
stations.
