Packer Extend proximity switch
The Packer Extend proximity switch sends a signal to the controller module that the packer panel has
reached its extended packing position. Once the signal from the proximity switch is received, the
module prompts the packer to retract to complete its packing cycle.
When this proximity switch needs adjustment, the following procedure is recommended.
To adjust the Packer Extend proximity switch:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn ON the engine and the hydraulic system (PUMP switch activated).
Usually, the Packer Extend proximity switch needs adjustment when the last follower panel
moves past the switch without triggering any signal. In such a case, the packer continues its
forward motion inside the body as in Eject mode.
3. Press and hold the Auto-Eject switch on the control panel. Keep this switch down until the
tailgate is fully open and the last follower panel clears the proximity switch in the hopper.
As soon as you release the Auto-Eject switch, the packer will stop moving.
Caution!
Make sure no one is standing behind the truck when you operate the tailgate.
