manual prior to operating and/or performing any
maintenance on your new ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-
HANDTM Automated Side Loader.
Upon receipt of your new ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-
HANDTM, perform a complete lubrication of the unit.
Mechanisms must be properly lubricated (see
lubrication decal affixed to the side of body for details).
Factory lubrication is adequate for production and
transport purposes only. In addition, the return filter
element must be replaced after 50 hours of use. Refer
to the maintenance manual for instructions.

2Introduction
Introducing the ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-HANDTM
The ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-HANDTM is a straight-frame, side-loading vehicle, manufactured to the
highest standards, designed to fully automate the collection of residential and commercial trash and
organics.
The Right-Hand™ arm (Figure 1-1), which is a zero-grab arm, is ideal for narrow streets. Its very long
reach (12 feet), in-line design and great lifting capacity (1000 lbs) makes bin collection real easy even
between parked cars and other obstacles. The Right-Hand™ arm delivers the smoothness, the
precision and the speed you expect from an automated arm.
Figure 1-1 Right-Hand™ arm
The ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-HANDTM uses a special type of packing system that is perfect for organic
collection: the Pendulum Packer system.
Also, the ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-HANDTM offers a wide array of features: its hopper is leak free, has no
blade and no clean-out door. The single stage packing cylinders are located outside the hopper protected
from trash and waste products. The Pendulum packing system eliminates trash “build-up” behind the
packing panel allowing the hopper to “self-clean”; hence no need for the operator to clean behind the
blade.
The result is a productive, safe and easy-to-maintain truck fitted perfectly for organics collection.
Product Overview
The ALLEY-GATOR RIGHT-HANDTM has everything you need to perform your work efficiently: a large
hopper, fast packing cycles, an efficient unloading process, great payload capacity and powerful
hydraulics.

Introduction 3
Figure 1-2 The A LLEY -G ATOR R IGHT -H AND
TM
Body’s main components are the hopper (see Figure 1-4), the packer (see Figure 1-3) and the tailgate
(see Figure 1-3).
The hopper is the area of the body where refuse is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment that
pushes refuse into the body. The tailgate is the rear pivotal door that prevents refuse from exiting the
body during collection. At landfill, the tailgate is raised to enable the discharge of refuse.

In the cab, you will find the console on which the auto-pack and hydraulic pump switches are located
(see Figure 1-5) as well as the arm joystick (see Figure 1-6) and the auxiliary arm/gripper controls, if
equipped (see Figure 1-7).
