Do not attempt to load refuse into the hopper after
the packing cycle has begun. The packer panel
must be in the “home” position and stopped before
loading the hopper.
The dashboard speed-up switch must be “OFF”
between pickups or when parked. This prevents
inadvertent engine speed-up if the tailgate carrier
panel control lever is shifted.
The tailgate clamps must be tightened securely
before starting to load.
Do not step on the throttle pedal while the speed-
up system is engaged.
Never use a rear loader to transport a container.
Followall safetydirections listed in the refuse body

towing or pulling.
When not handling containers, keep the container
attachment closed or latched.
Do not operate the rear loader’s packing mecha-
nism with a container off the ground.
If it is necessary to manually free debris from the
container, use a long metal probe while the con-
tainer is on the ground, and DO NOT place your-
self between the container and the packer body.
Attach hook to the tailgate and take up the excess
slack when not in use.
Never hold the hook on an attachment point while
taking up slack.
