Introducing the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT
The AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT is a straight-frame, side-loading vehicle, manufactured to the highest
standards, and designed to collect residential and commercial refuse and recycling materials. It is the
ideal choice for those who need reliability and quick route times built into one solid package. Thanks
to its fully automated design and its large hopper area, the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT helps to keep
overhead down allowing for more time spent picking up and less time dumping.
The AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT has been developed based on years of experience and a wise choice of
components. Everything has been foreseen to achieve excellent reliability while keeping construction
simple yet robust.
The AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT features a strong, light-weight body with a reliable loading arm called
the RIGHT-HAND™ arm. This arm can reach positions of up to 12 feet from the hopper and lift up to
1000 pounds fully extended. The RIGHT-HAND™ arm is easy to operate with an electric over
hydraulic joystick control, and the Zero-Grab low swing-out makes it easy to collect refuse in narrow
spaces.
AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT units are also equipped with a full eject packer panel to which a 3-stage
telescopic cylinder is connected.
Once the body of the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT is full, all its content is unloaded at a waste
management landfill or other appropriate site (e.g. transfer station, incinerator, recycling station).
The AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT is not a tip-to-dump type of refuse truck. Instead, it uses a double-
acting hydraulic telescopic cylinder to horizontally eject the refuse load out of the rear opening.
The standard packer cycle time is 13.5 to 16.5 seconds at 1500 rpm, and the “Auto-Eject Mode” cycle
takes 40 seconds at 1500 rpm.
The hopper may also be equipped with a full-size crusher panel (optional). It also features a hinged
door on the left-hand side and 1 or 2 hinged doors on the right-hand side (2 doors if an automated
arm is installed).

Introduction 3
Multiplexed System
Labrie has equipped your AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT unit with a CAN bus-based multiplexed system,
which integrates a monitor, a control panel, a joystick, and a set of electronic controllers. This whole
system has been designed to help you operate your unit in an efficient and easy way. Labrie’s
multiplexed system is reliable and safe and it requires less wiring harnesses to operate. It can also
monitor various function status of the body and display warning and caution messages.
Through its monitor (see Figure 1-1), Labrie’s multiplexed system informs you of any malfunctions
that may occur during the operation of the truck. Various caution and warning messages can be
displayed on the monitor, depending on the seriousness of the situation. Yellow-highlighted
messages indicate that caution should be used while red-highlighted messages indicate a warning
situation that must be dealt with quickly.
Figure 1-1 Monitor
NOTE:Maintenance personnel as well as in-the-field technicians who encounter any problems with
the multiplexed system should refer to the Multiplex Diagnostic Manual (part# 153143_01) for
troubleshooting information and guidelines.
Service and Maintenance on the AUTOMIZER™ FULL
EJECT
Maintenance on the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT is of paramount importance to ensure long-lasting
durability of all its moving parts as well as optimum performance in heavy work. Maintenance has to
be done on almost every system involved in the operation of the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT, such as
the hydraulic, electrical and mechanical systems. Some parts are subjected to more wear and tear than
others. Therefore, these parts need regular maintenance and routine check-up to prevent signs of
deterioration as soon as possible.
NOTE:Any time you have a problem with a Labrie unit, you should contact your Labrie authorized
dealer first. They should be able to provide you with the proper help that you need, whether it
is for parts or technical service.

4Introduction
In this manual you will find the most common maintenance and inspection procedures required for
the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT.
Parts
Labrie refuse vehicle parts are offered exclusively through LabriePlus and LabriePlus authorized
dealers. The quality and reliability of Labrie parts are second to none in the industry.
Warning
Your AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT unit MUST BE COMPLETELY LUBRICATED before its first use.
Refer to the lube charts near the hopper on the curbside to know where the lubrication points are
located on the vehicle and how often the parts should be lubricated.
Initial lubrication carried out by Labrie Enviroquip Group is sufficient for production and transport
purposes ONLY.
With your safety in mind, we would like to remind you that ONLY QUALIFIED MECHANICS
should service the hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic systems on your side loader. In addition, they
should also be fully knowledgeable in the operation of this unit. Please read the Operator Manual
prior to attempting any maintenance work on your AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT unit.
AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT Basic Maintenance
AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT refuse bodies require routine maintenance to ensure product longevity as
well as dependability. Various components have specific needs. A detailed portion of these items is
listed below:
1) Lubrication
Your AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT unit MUST BE COMPLETELY LUBRICATED before its first use.
All moving parts require lubrication for continued operation, longevity and dependability.
Maintenance intervals should be adjusted according to the truck’s route or duty cycle. Proper
greasing ensures the maximum life from the moving parts as it flushes out water and contaminants
from the joint.
When greasing it is important to understand that providing the proper amount of grease is a delicate
balance between over greasing, which can result in seal damage as well as wasted lubricant. Only
pump enough grease until the air purges from the joint. Commonly, a “popping” sound can be heard
as the old grease begins to evacuate the seal. Equally important is to remove the excess grease from
the component you are maintaining. Leaving the excess grease will attract dirt and contaminants
which could work themselves into the joint causing potential future issues.
2) Body
The body contains grease fittings for every operating cylinder as well as all linkages.
Without proper lubrication and maintenance, these parts can become seized, galled, and/or break
resulting in equipment damage or injury.

Introduction 5
3) Hydraulic Fluid and Filter
Hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT side loader. Regular maintenance of
the hydraulics will ensure long, trouble-free life.
As directed in all service training, the hydraulic filter needs to be replaced after the initial 50 hours
of new truck operation and then again every 6 months, or when the filter restriction gauge is in the
yellow. The hydraulic fluid needs to be replaced once a year along with the suction screen being
removed, inspected, cleaned and/or replaced.
4) Hardware
Hardware needs to be verified that it is present and tight. Loose or missing hardware can cause severe
damage and/or unsafe operational conditions.
5) Limit and Proximity Switches
Limit and proximity switches are used to limit travel of moving parts and/or to ensure conditions are
safe for operation.
If these switches are not adjusted properly, damage to the equipment may occur as well as poor or
dangerous functionality.
6) Leaks
Verify that there are not any leaking hydraulic cylinders, hoses, tubes, valves, or pumps. Leaks in the
hydraulic system are an indicator of possibly overheating hydraulics, damage to a seal, over-
pressurization, or general wear. To avoid costly and premature replacement of parts, ensure all leaks
are addressed properly and timely.
7) Cracks
Ensure that there are not any cracks forming along the hopper floor edge, body, packer and tailgate.
This is an indicator that something is worn, not adjusted properly or damaged.
8) Bushings/Bearings
Check for play in any bushing or bearing. This may require the use of a pry bar or lifting equipment.
