OPERATION
SECTION 3
Once the container is secured within the latch assem-
bly, the lifting cable should be attached. Place the load
in the base of the hook with the safety latch closing the
throat opening.
It is important that hooks are used in a proper manner.
Proper use of a lifting hook not only includes placing
the load in the base of the hook, but also includes
ensuring that the hook is lifting on the proper area of
the attachment point.
The hook must completely encircle the attachment
point. Equally as important, at the time load is applied to
the base of the hook, the positioning must be correct to
prevent the hook from dislodging. When using an eye
type attachment point the base of the hook must be
positioned to lift on the inside of the eye. The diagrams
show both correct and incorrect positioning of the hook.
For the safety of yourself as well as others always
ensure that a hook is positioned properly as slack is
removed from the chain/cable before lifting.
Slack should be removed from the cable, without the use
of the engine speed-up button, by moving the winch con-
trol lever in the direction shown on the instruction decal
to raise the container. When the cable is tight, the speed-
up button should be depressed and held to provide suf-
ficient hydraulic power to lift the container.
The container should be raised until the contents begin
to slide into the hopper of the packer or until it is resting
against the container bump bar.
Do not overfill the hopper. After assuring that all per-
sons are standing clear lower the container to check
the load condition of the container and the hopper.
Lower the container enough to see between the con-
tainer and the tailgate while standing on the ground
without placing yourself between them.
When the hopper is full, lower the container to the
ground, assure all persons are standing clear and then
engage the packer mechanism. See Sec. 3 Operation -
Packing Load.
After the packer panel has passed the loading sill, the
container may be raised to again fill the hopper.
Repeat this process until the container is empty.
