MAINTENANCE
1.3.8 ARMS PARTLY RAISED PROXIMITY
SWITCH
Some units are equipped with a proximity
switch that allows the operator to raised the
arms when the packer is retracting. If the
packer is not completely retracted when the
arms pass in front of the proximity switch, the
arms stop to avoid debris falling on the
packer or behind it. The operator will have to
wait until the packer is completely retracted
before raising the arms further.
If the truck is equipped with this proximity
switch, it is located on the left-hand side of
the arm torque tube.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE
PROXIMITY SWITCHES ARE
WELL ADJUSTED AND THAT
THEY ARE WORKING
PROPERLY.
