STANDARD OUTSIDE CONTROLS
The standard outside controls for the unit are located on
the front street side of the body and on the curb side of the
tailgate near the hopper.
The slide and packer blade levers have detents. Once you
push or pull the lever past the detent (fully push or pull the
lever), the selected operation continues and you can
release the lever. The lever will self-center at the end of the
commanded operation by way of internal hydraulic
pressure. You can reverse the direction of a function at any
time when you push or pull the lever past the detent in the
opposite direction.
You must move the tailgate and ejector levers in the
direction of travel you want and hold the lever at that
position until the tailgate or ejector reaches the desired
position then release the lever. You can stop an operation
at any time by releasing the lever.
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.
