ON-THE-ROUTE GARBAGE COLLECTION
LOADMASTER does not recommend that you “back
pack” while on-the-route and collecting the
garbage.
Backpacking simply means pushing the ejector
blade rearward
against your payload
with the
throttle
manually advanced
(using the button
switch located near the body-mounted valve). The
compaction blades will be at their “home” position
during this “back packing”.
The LOADMASTER ELITE is designed to densify
properly to the advertised, rated payload
without
performing a single “backpacking” operation.
The valve known as the “synkpak” valve will allow
the ejector blade to
automatically
drift forward in a
controlled fashion. The operator will never need to
operate the hand-lever labeled “ejector” while
collecting garbage on the route.
When the body is “full” the ejector blade will have
drifted all the way forward (towards cab) and the
ejector’s telescopic cylinder will be seen to be
totally collapsed (retracted).
Continue
loading the
hopper until the sweep and slider blades are seen
to be not fully moving to their normal, full “home”
position. Then begin to use the slide and sweep
levers to “manually over-ride” the blade’s automatic
function. This will make extra force available to
help push the blades to their “home” positions as
the payload densification continues. Soon…even
“manually-overriding” will not get the blades “fully”
to their home positions and the loading hopper will
“shrink” quite a bit. The LOADMASTER is now truly
“full” and you must unload.
Travel to the unloading site. Follow the same
information given in the earlier section called
TRAVELING.
Remember to position the rocker
switches of OFF to disengage PTO and disable the
throttle advance.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE PACKER AND CHASSIS. DO NOT
EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER’S POSTED GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT RATINGS (OVERALL AND “PER AXLE”). GROSS
VEHICLE WEIGHTS MUST ALSO MEET APPLICABLE FEDERAL,
STATE, AND LOCAL LAWS. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD CAUSE
POOR HANDLING AND OUT OF COMPLIANCE BRAKING AND
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

and pack several
