Operation
3.5 Auto Dump Functions (Optional)
With the Auto Dump Function, the fork assembly is
automatically rotated when the arm assembly is raised or
lowered. The fork assembly is rotated to avoid interference
with the body canopy.
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.

with a container.
