26 General Maintenance
Packer
The MINIMAX™ packer (see Figure 3-1) is submitted to intensive use during a work day (500 to
1500 cycles). Therefore, some of its components have to be regularly looked at: the wear pads, which
are located at both sides of the packer and inserted in the body side rails, the follower panels, and the
rollers, which are also inserted in the body side rails (see Figure 3-2).
Labrie Enviroquip Group recommends that operators perform a daily visual inspection of the packer
and its components.
Maintenance personnel must perform weekly inspection and maintenance work on the packer.
Greasing all moving parts on a daily basis is very important. For more information on the lubrication
schedule, see Lubrication Charts on page 74.
Also, proper adjustment of the limit and proximity switches is mandatory, especially on vehicles
equipped with a multi-cycle feature.
Any problems found on the packing system must be corrected immediately. In case of problem,
contact your distributor.
