LOADING REFUSE WITH A WINCH
An option for Rear End Loaders (RELs), a winch is a
mechanism with a hook and cable that an operator uses to
raise, dump and lower a commercial refuse container
The winch hook and cable are not intended for any other
purpose than dumping a Type T container into the hopper.
The hook and cable should not be used for lifting, dragging,
or manipulating containers, appliances, or other large items
toward or into the hopper.
Use the instructions that follow to load refuse from a
commercial refuse container into the hopper with a winch.
Observe the DANGER and WARNING notices.
DANGER
Your body or clothing can become caught by the blade
while it moves. Serious injury or death may occur if a
person is in or near the hopper when the blade and slide
assembly move. Clear the area near the hopper of all
unnecessary people before you move the blade and slide
assembly and keep all parts of your body away from the
blade.
WARNING
Crush or Pinch Hazard.
Lifting or dragging uncontrolled items with hook and cable
may cause items to move in a way that can pinch or crush
the operator.
Use winch or reeving cylinder hook and cable for dumping
properly restrained ANSI Type T containers only.
Never use hook and cable for any other purpose.
Failure to comply may injure or kill.
CAUTION
The slide in/out and blade up/down operations can push
refuse out of the hopper or break objects. Refuse broken
by the blade can cause moderate or minor injury. Stay
clear of the packer panel during slide in/out and blade up/
down operations.
