FOREWORD
Here is the new Labrie operator’s manual for the EXPERT 2000
side loading unit. We sincerely hope that you will find it easy to
use.
We have designed it in a way that will allow you to easily make
it available to drivers, mechanics, and to parts department
personnel.
Any time that you have a problem with a Labrie unit, you should
contact your vendor first. He should be able to provide you with
the proper help required (parts or technical advice).
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
DO NOT FORGET TO COMPLETE THE OWNER
REGISTRATION FORM AND TO SEND IT TO LABRIE
EQUIPMENT, MAKING SURE TO INDICATE THE “IN

THE WARRANTY PERIOD. OTHERWISE, THE DATE
OF DELIVERY FROM THE FACTORY WILL BE USED.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this manual is to provide, to
the end user, the essential information on the
operations and maintenance requirements of
an EXPERT 2000.
The EXPERT 2000 is a side loading garbage
truck operated by only one person, as was the
previous version, the LABRIE 200. After many
years of experience with the LABRIE 200 side
loader, Labrie Equipment has developed the
EXPERT 2000, a unit that will achieve
excellent performance and reliability with a
simpler but rugged construction.
The operator’s manual and general safety
instructions introduce the operator to the
different operating methods of the vehicle as
well as the safety precautions to be taken. By
the end of reading this manual, the operator
should be able to perform all necessary tasks
required to be done with the company’s
equipment. IT IS TO BE COMPLETELY
UNDERSTOOD BY THE OPERATOR
BEFORE HE STARTS WORKING WITH
THE EXPERT 2000 SIDE LOADING
GARBAGE TRUCK. ENSURE THAT THE
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ARE
STRONGLY EMPHASIZED.
