196 Lifting Arm
When the Auto-Packing feature is used simultaneously with the Multi-Cycle feature, the packer will
then perform a preset number of cycles unless a new rolling cart is carried towards the hopper by the
automated arm. In such a case, the Multi-Cycle feature will then be reset to zero.
When a packing cycle has been interrupted and the packer has returned to its home position, a new
cycle will begin 2 seconds after the gripper reached the mid-height position on its way up.
Interrupting a packing cycle prevents cart contents from falling directly over the packer. Piled
material over the packer could reduce its efficiency.
A blue-lighted Auto-Packing switch means this feature is disabled.
A green-lighted Auto-Packing switch means this feature is enabled.
NOTE: The gripper does not need any adjustment. An adjustment rod installed on the back side of the
gripper allows both gripper blades to move symmetrically (see Figure 10-10).

Adjusting Gripper Adjustment Rod
Both sides of the gripper should move symmetrically in order for the gripper to close equally. A
system of cylinder and adjustment rod (see Figure 10-10) allows for the proper operation of the
gripper. The cylinder is used to control one side of the gripper while the adjustment rod is used to
control the other side. The gripper cylinder does not need to be adjusted, unlike the adjustment rod,
which may need some adjustment.
NOTE: The adjustment rod has been pre-adjusted at the factory.
To adjust the adjustment rod:
1. Apply all safety measures to ensure safety around the vehicle at all times and make sure to have
enough room to fully operate the arm and the gripper.
2. Make sure that the parking brake is applied.
3. Slide out the arm about half way (gripper in the lower position and blades fully open).
4. Remove the pin from the left-hand side end of the adjustment rod (see Figure 10-11).
5. Move the adjustment rod towards you.
