About the illustrations in this manual
Because Labrie Enviroquip Group is constantly updating its products, illustrations used in this
manual may differ from those of the actual product and accessories, depending on the model or
options that come with your vehicle.
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
1,000 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 blade 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 16.5 seconds at 1,500 RPM, and the “Auto-Eject Mode” cycle takes
40 seconds at 1,500 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 module, 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) 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.
In this manual you will find the most common maintenance and inspection procedures required for
the AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT.

4Introduction
Warning
Your AUTOMIZER™ FULL EJECT unit MUST BE COMPLETELY LUBRICATED before its first use.
Refer to the lube chart 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 refuse vehicle. In addition,
these mechanics 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.
