ON-THE-ROUTE GARBAGE COLLECTION
After assuring that no people (or “parts of people”)
are anywhere near the hopper sill (including the
person “at the controls”),
push both
of the blade
control lever’s knobs inward (and release) to begin
the second part of the semi-automatic blade cycle.
First the sweep blade will rotate to capture the
garbage in the hopper (blade tip will move
downward). Notice the blade “tip” swept by the
hopper sill, thereby creating the pinch-point
hazard. At the very moment the sweep blade stops
rotating, the slide blade then begins sliding
upward. These actions compact the garbage into
the “body”. These actions also have cleared the
hopper. The blades are now back at their original
“home” position.
This completes one “semi-automatic” compaction
cycle.
During on-the-route, house-to-house collection you
will be doing many of these complete blade cycles.
The ejector blade will slowly and automatically drift
forward (towards the cab) as you build up a
“payload” in the LOADMASTER’S body.
Always do one
complete
blade cycle so that the
blades are always in their “home” position
whenever you are loading garbage into the hopper.
The riding steps can be used on-the-route
whenever the speeds stay below 10MPH, moving
from house-to-house, and the vehicle is not going
in reverse. Be certain the vehicle is
completely
stopped
before getting on or getting off the step.
Get a firm grip on the grab handles with both
hands and spread your feet apart to be stable.
Signal the vehicle driver (when you are stable and
secure) by sounding the in-cab buzzer by
depressing a button switch. The driver is to wait
two seconds after the buzzer stops buzzing, and
then begin to move the vehicle to the next house’s
garbage.
Do not use the LOADMASTER packer and the
chassis to tow a trailer.
STAY CLEAR OF MOVING HOPPER BLADES AND THE HOPPER
LOADING SILL WHEN BLADES ARE MOVING! IF YOU OR A
WORK PARTNER IS CAUGHT IN THE BLADE ACTION, SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT.
THE RIDING STEP SHALL NOT BE USED WHEN:
SPEEDS EXCEED 10 MPH
DISTANCE OF TRAVEL IS MORE THAN 2 TENTHS OF A
MILE
VEHICLE IS MOVING BACKWARDS (IN REVERSE)
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE, DO NOT USE THIS VEHICLE TO “TOW” OTHER
EQUIPMENT. IT IS NOT INTENDED, DESIGNED OR EQUIPPED
FOR TOWING.
