Reinstalling the Packer
The following procedure details how to reinstall the packer inside the body of the MINIMAX™.
To reinstall the packer, proceed this way:
1. Make sure the tailgate is properly open, and all packer components are properly assembled.
IMPORTANT: To more easily and safely reinstall the packer inside the body, stitch weld a piece of tube, or C-
channel, across the top of the follower panels to the top of the packer before reinstallation.
2. Proceed with the lockout/tagout procedure. Refer to “Locking Out and Tagging Out the
Vehicle” on page 20.
3. Use a safe lifting device and hook the packer by the ring handle (see Figure 3-22).
4. Lift the packer and align it with the side rails inside the body.
5. Insert the wear plate panels in the rails and push the packer in.
6. Start the engine and turn ON the hydraulic system (PUMP switch set to “ON”).
7. On the packer control station, press the green PACK button (see Figure 3-18) to fully extend the
packer cylinder.
8. Insert the cylinder into the packer, then the pin through the tip of the packer and into the cylinder
to fix them properly.
9. Screw the bolt (Figure 3-21) at the left-hand side of the packer tip to secure the cylinder pin.
10. On the packer control station, press the yellow PACKER RETRACT button to retract the packer to
its home position (see Figure 3-26).
Caution
Make sure the shut-off valve on the suction line is fully open before starting the vehicle.
Warning!
Slowly extend the cylinder in order to properly align it with the packer and to avoid
impact that could cause damage to the equipment.
