5.3 Pressure washing
Caution:
When pressure washing the Refuse
Collection Vehicle, its chassis-cab, body,
refuse compaction mechanism and
any ancillary equipment, such as waste
container lifting devices, do not allow the
jet nozzle to approach closer than 1 metre.
Clean the compaction mechanism and slide tracks by
Pressure washing at least once a week as follows:
1. Stand the vehicle on clean, level and stable ground
with sufficient clearance to allow for the tailgate to
be fully raised.

VEHICLE’ to the steering wheel.

compaction mechanism and ejection plate and
their slide blocks and tracks.
