28 General Maintenance
Inspecting the Packer
Proceed this way during the packer inspection:
1. Inspect the follower panel hinges and surface in search of any wear or damage.
2. Check for any sideways or up-and-down movement of the packer and inspect the wear pads
(plastic strips) on both sides of the packer.
3. Inspect the cover wear pads. These wear pads act as additional protection against intruding refuse
that may get inside the automated arm mechanism, where they can damage the cylinder and the
limit switches (see Figure 3-3).

4. Inspect both body side rails and packer rollers for any premature wear (see Figure 3-2).
5. Inspect the hydraulic system, including hoses, pipes, connectors, and cylinder (see Figure 3-4).
There should neither be dirt or garbage on the cylinder rod ends nor scratches on the rod itself.
There should not be leaks on the hoses and pipes.
