Operator Manual.
NOTE:A number of system schematics are included in this manual.
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).
