2.3 Arm and Fork Controls
There are three types of controls for the Arm and Fork
Functions. There are two types of single lever joysticks
available that enable the single joystick to operate both the
Arm and Fork Functions. The second type of control is the
dual lever in which one lever controls the Arm Functions and
the other lever controls the Fork Functions.
Be sure all non-operator personnel are at
least 20 feet (6 meters) away from all areas
of the Packer.
Serious personal injury or death may occur.
WARNING
Make sure the area above the vehicle is
clear of objects and power lines before
raising the arm.
Serious personal injury or death may occur.

CAUTION
Use caution when raising the arm assembly
with a container.
