ON-THE-ROUTE GARBAGE COLLECTION
You have traveled to the area that will begin the
actual collection of the route’s garbage. The packer
has pulled along side the very first garbage can or
bag to be picked-up.
Shift the vehicle transmission to PARK (or
Neutral if “park” does not exist on your ELITE chassis).
Set the PARK/EMERGENCY brake to applied
ON.
These two steps must always be done by the
vehicle’s driver before he/she leaves the cab!
Position the switch labeled THRTL to ON. The
rocker switches red color band will be visible when
the switch is at ON position.
This will allow the diesel’s throttle to advance
automatically
when the compaction blades are
cycling automatically.
This will also allow
manual
throttle advancement by
depressing and holding the button switches labeled
“throttle advance”.
Position the switch labeled PTO to ON. The
rocker switches red color band will be visible when
the switch is at the ON position.
This engages the PTO and the hydraulic pump will
begin to rotate (pump) and the hydraulic system is
now active. You will typically hear a change in the
overall sound.
You must follow the
specific engagement
instructions
given in the operation manuals for your
particular chassis/transmission/PTO-type. There are
several possible combinations that will require
somewhat different procedures for proper
engagement. If you hear nasty gear clashing
sounds, immediately revert the rocker switch to
OFF position and re-study the correct PTO
engagement procedure.
Turn on your beacon or strobe lights (and the
hopper area work lights, if needed) by
positioning the rocker switches so that the red
band is exposed.
