Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to introduce operators
to the operational procedures of the 2R-II™ rear-loader
garbage truck. For information regarding maintenance
procedures, refer to the related 2R-II™ Maintenance
Manual.
Introducing the 2R-II™
2R-II™ units are rear-load refuse collection vehicles
used for residential, commercial and demolition
garbage pick-ups. Once the body is full, all its content
is unloaded at a waste management landfill or other
appropriate site (e.g. transfer station, incinerator,
recycling station). These units are designed to improve
every aspect of your garbage collection operation, and
they use a series of hydraulic, mechanical, and
electrical systems to perform their work routine.
Depending on the type of collection for which it is
intended, the 2R-II™ is offered in two main collection
configurations: semi-automated and manual.
Vehicles destined for semi-automated collection are
equipped with a cart tipper, and vehicles destined for
manual collection benefit from the lowered hopper
load sill.
All other major options and body configurations are
explained in the following pages.
Product Overview
The 2R-II™ is a tough, reliable and user-friendly
collection truck. It has everything you need to perform
your work efficiently: a large hopper, fast packing
cycles, an efficient open-and-eject process and great
versatility for use not only in residential and
commercial waste collection but also in demolition
waste collection.
Page 10
2 Introduction
Figure 1-1
Body’s main components are the hopper (see Figure 1-3), the packer (see Figure 1-2), the tailgate
(see Figure 1-2), the pushout panel (see Figure 1-4), and the carrier panel (see Figure 1-3).
Some trucks may be equipped with one or two cart tippers (see Figure 1-1). Or they may be equipped
with a push bar. If the latter is installed, a reeving cylinder or winch is provided.
The hopper is the area of the body where the refuse is dumped. The packer is the piece of equipment
that pushes the refuse into the body. The pushout (or ejection) panel is the piece of equipment that is
used to eject garbage at landfill sites. The tailgate is the rear pivotal door that prevents refuse from
exiting the body during collection. At landfill, the tailgate is raised to enable discharge of the refuse.

operating equipment.
Ensure all co-workers are in view before operating or moving any controls or the unit.
Ensure that there is sufficient overhead clearance before operating the unit.
Ride only in the cab or on riding platforms designed for that purpose. Riding steps shall not be
used when speeds are expected to exceed 10 mph (16 km) or when distance traveled without
stopping will exceed 2/10 of one mile. Do not get on/off riding step when vehicle is in motion.
Never allow anyone to ride on the steps when the vehicle is backing up.
Stop the vehicle immediately if warning lights for the
TAILGATE AJAR system come on.
Never use controls or hoses for hand holds when getting on/off. Controls and hoses are movable.
They do not provide proper support and may cause accidental equipment movement.
Make sure the backup alarm is working properly.
Always ensure that all persons are clear before raising or lowering the tailgate. It is the operator’s
responsibility to warn all persons not to stand or cross under a raised tailgate.
Page 21
Safety Precautions 13
Do not move the vehicle with the tailgate raised except during unloading and then only as
necessary to clear the load before lowering.
Stand clear when the tailgate is being raised or lowered and during the unloading cycle. If it is
necessary to manually clear debris from the hopper, use a long metal probe and DO NOT stand
under the tailgate.
Never load the hopper above the loading sill.
Never allow material to extend outside of the hopper when packing.
Allow the packer panel control lever and carrier panel control lever to shift back automatically.
To avoid possible bodily injury or equipment damage, lower the tailgate slowly.
Never enter the body unless the pushout panel clamp or the telescopic ejection system cylinder is
released, PTO disengaged and ignition key removed and placed in your pocket. For more
information, see Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 38.
Do not attempt to load refuse into the hopper after the packing cycle has begun. The packer panel
must be in the “home” position and stopped before loading the hopper.
The speed-up switch on the console must be “OFF” between pickups or when parked. This
prevents inadvertent engine speed-up if the tailgate carrier panel control lever is shifted.
The tailgate clamps must be tightened securely before starting to load.
Do not step on the throttle pedal while the speed-up system is engaged.
Vehicles with automatic transmission require the shift lever to be in gear to engage the PTO and
then shifted to neutral to activate the PTO/pump.
Never use a rear loader to transport a container.
Follow all safety directions listed in the refuse body Operator and Maintenance Manual under
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Never use container handling chains or cable for towing or pulling.
When not handling containers, keep the container attachment closed and latched.
Do not operate the rear loader’s packing mechanism with a container off the ground.
If it is necessary to manually free debris from the container, use a long metal probe while the
container is on the ground, and DO NOT place yourself between the container and the packer
body.
Secure the drum winch or reeving cylinder hook to the tailgate and take up the excess slack when
not in use.
Never hold the hook on an attachment point while taking up slack.
Take up excess cable slack before moving the vehicle.
Check overhead clearance before dumping a container.
Do not move the vehicle with a container attached.
Always set the vehicle parking brake before attaching or lifting a container.
Never lift a container which is non-compatible with the Leach container attachment.
Never lift a container without first latching both container latch arms.
Raise the container with a smooth even movement. Do not bounce the container.
Do not slam the container against the packer tailgate or bump bar.
Page 22
14 Safety Precautions
Do not attach the hook to any lift point which will not be completely encircled by the hook with
the safety latch closed. Do not remove the hook safety latch.
Read and obey all container decals issued by the container manufacturer.
Read and follow container manufacturer’s information on accepted use practices.
Do not attempt to lift overloaded containers.
Center the container on the attachment.
All containers should be inspected for serviceability and repaired if not in safe, usable condition.
Do not use non-standard or damaged trunnion bar.
Never cross under a raised container.
Stand clear when dumping containers.
Before attempting to lift a container below 32 °F (0 ºC) make sure it is not frozen to the ground.
When using an eye type container attachment point, the base of the hook must be positioned to
lift on the inside of the eye.
Place the container on a flat, level surface.
Do not get into the hopper compartment or try to repair anything on the packer when it is moving
or when the hydraulic pump is still running. Personnel authorized to get into the hopper must first
lock out and tag out the vehicle, as required by the employer. For more information, see Locking
Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 38.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic fluid operates under high temperatures. Avoid contact with piping, hoses or cylinders
to prevent burns.
Never use hands to check for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may cause injury.
In case of injury seek proper medical treatment immediately.
Fire Protection
Anytime a loaded vehicle is brought inside a garage, fire extinguishers shall be close at hand.
The employer must inform employees of an appropriate place to unload the body near the
maintenance facility (preferably away from traffic, surface drains, and ditches).
Keep a fire extinguisher accessible at all times.
Never use lighted smoking materials, open flame or sparks around when working with flammable
materials such as fuel tanks or storage batteries.
Never have an open flame as a light source.
Page 23
Safety Precautions 15
Never load ashes or other materials which might be smoldering. These materials could ignite
refuse in the packer body.
NOTE: 2R-II™ vehicles are equipped with a 5-lb fire extinguisher, which is located inside the cab. A 20-
lb fire extinguisher may also be installed as an option. Each fire extinguisher must be checked
regularly by qualified personnel.
NOTE: A first aid kit, a flare kit and a triangle kit are provided with the truck.
Figure 2-1
5-lb fire extinguisher (left); optional 20-lb fire extinguisher (right)
Housekeeping
Good housekeeping habits are a major factor in accident prevention.
Keep handrails and steps clean and free of grease or debris.
Do not store brooms or other equipment where they could inadvertently activate the packer
controls.
Rubbish, scrap paper and litter are highly combustible. Such material should be stored in metal
containers entirely clear of sparks and flames.
Clean all lights and safety decals so you and the surrounding pedestrians and drivers will be aware
of the truck at all times.
Ensure that the equipment works properly by removing any compacted garbage in the packer area
after each body unloading.
If you need to clean debris from the edges of the tailgate, use a pole while standing to the side.
If installed, use the drain under the curbside of the tailgate to let water and other liquids out of the
tailgate.
Page 24

Controls,
Indicators and
Processes
The 2R-II™ has a series of controls and indicators that
allow easier operation of the different functions that
come with the vehicle. The indicators are mainly
located on the in-cab console or on the dashboard,
while the operating controls are mostly located on the
right side of the tailgate and some on the front body
left side near the access door.
It is imperative that the operator familiarize himself
with the layout and function of all the controls
required to operate the 2R-II™.

outward to sweep the load from the hopper and pack it against the pushout panel. Any time the
carrier panel lever is shifted, the engine speed-up automatically engages. The packing cycle may be
stopped at any point by moving both operating levers to neutral. The packer or carrier panel can be
moved independently.
Container Handling Control Levers (optional)
These control levers are provided when container handling attachments (drum winch, reeving
cylinder or container push bar) are added to the unit. They are used to raise and lower the container
causing the refuse to be deposited into the hopper for compaction. The levers are located on the right
side of the tailgate directly above the packer and carrier panel control levers (see Figure 3-15). A
refuse vehicle may have none or one or two control levers, depending on the configuration of the unit.

Terms You Will Need To Know
The main purpose of a refuse body is to load, compact, transport and unload refuse. To assist in
loading of refuse in containers, various container handling systems are available to be mounted on
2R-II™ rear loaders.
A refuse container may be a mobile residential one (1) cubic yard container with casters or a ten (10)
cubic yard stationary commercial container. The equipment required to lift and empty these
containers will vary according to the container’s type and size.
Before going further, become familiar with the container handling terms you will need to know.
2
Container Attachment
The 2R-II™ Container Attachment System consists of a loading edge with a latch assembly and a
guide ear on each side of the tailgate. The latches and ears are installed to accommodate containers
from one (1) to ten (10) cubic yard capacity. The standard container for use with the 2R-II™ rear
loader must have an ANSI Standard 1 ¼” - 1 ¾” diameter trunnion bar, with a 77 ½” to 78” end-toend distance. This trunnion bar will center the container between the “ears” and prevent it from
moving sideways. The latch arms must be manually raised and secured by the arm upper latch. The
latches and ears, when properly used, will efficiently secure the container to the tailgate while
dumping.
Warning!
Only containers that meet the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) regulations
should be used in conjunction with the 2R-II™ Container Handling Systems.

Container Handling Systems
To lift or dump a container, several systems are available.
The following are some handling systems that could be used:
A hydraulically operated container push bar for containers of 1 to 3 cubic yard capacity.
A drum winch or roof-mounted container lifting cylinder for containers with capacities of four (4)
or more cubic yards.
Drum winches are rated at various pounds of pull. The 2R-II™ drum winch and lifting cylinder are
rated at 12,000 lbs.

Waste Handling Process
The main purpose of the 2R-II™ is to safely and efficiently load, pack, transport and unload refuse.
The following describes how the unit performs those tasks in the most basic terms. For a more
detailed description of the unit and its components, refer to the 2R-II™ Maintenance Manual. Before
going further, take a look at the following illustrations. They will help you understand the
fundamentals of the waste handling process and how they relate to one another.
Loading
Refuse is first loaded into the hopper of the tailgate assembly. The carrier and packer panels, which
sweep up and pack the refuse from the hopper, will be in the “home” position.

Packing position
Also, during the packing cycle, considerable hydraulic pressure is applied to the cylinders which
control movement of the carrier and packer panels. This causes the refuse to be compacted tightly
allowing for a large carrying capacity.
On units with the standard clamp pushout system, the operator must manually release the pushout
panel clamping system to allow movement of the pushout panel.
Once the body is full, the 2R-II™ can be moved to the dumpsite for unloading.

Warning!
Before operating the 2R-II™, the operator must be
completely familiar with all safety procedures, and the
location, operation and functions of all controls and
indicators related to the operation of the unit.
You must complete the daily inspection before starting
the vehicle. It is your responsibility to report any
malfunctions or concerns to your supervisor and
maintenance personnel.
Consult with your supervisor for specific rules of
driving the 2R-II™.
Obey all speed restrictions and regulations.
Pre-Operating WalkAround Inspection
Always read and understand the
Operator’s Manual before operating the
unit.
Each day, before starting the unit, perform the
following “walk-around” inspection.
Make sure all decals are in place and readable.
Replace any decals that are not. Refer to “Safety
and Informative Decals” on page 16 for a list of
decals.
NOTE: A decal kit is available from your local authorized
Labrie distributor.
As you are checking for decals, also look for fluid
leaks on and around the unit. Check for fluid leaks
at the hydraulic cylinders, valves and fittings.
Page 72
64 Operating the 2R-II™
Inspect the mounting sills and attaching hardware. Make sure everything is tight and that there are
no broken or excessively worn parts. Check capscrews and fasteners for looseness, visible welds
for cracks and control levers for each movement.
Make sure the tailgate clamps are in the closed position and securely tightened (see Tailgate
Clamps on page 50). If the optional hydraulic tailgate-locking mechanism is used instead of
tailgate clamps, make sure this mechanism has been engaged to the locked position.
NOTE: When the tailgate is unlocked, both locking mechanism cylinders are retracted. They are
extended when the tailgate is locked.
Check the hydraulic tank gauge to make sure the fluid is in the “safe” range. Add fluid, if necessary.
The pushout cylinder must be retracted, the tailgate down, the carrier and packer panels in the
“interrupted cycle” position to check the hydraulic fluid level.
Make sure all operating levers are in the neutral position.
Check:
• Packer panel lever (see Figure 3-14)
• Carrier panel lever (see Figure 3-14)
• Pushout lever (see Figure 3-11)
• Tailgate lever (see Figure 3-11)
Caution!
Warning!
Start the truck according to the chassis manufacturer’s instructions and while it is warming up,
continue the walk-around inspection.
Check all of the operating and running lights. Make sure none are missing and that there are no
burned-out bulbs.
Warning!
Never operate the 2R-II™ with any part of the control system or levers removed or serious
damage will result.
Never under any circumstances enter the body if the truck is running. Open the packer panel
and release the pushout panel clamp before entering the body. Always make sure the truck
engine is off and the keys are in your pocket before entering the body (see Locking Out and
Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 38).
The TAILGATE OPEN warning light should be off. Do not operate the unit if the light is
illuminated.
With the engine running, the speed-up switch ON, the PTO/pump switch engaged, the
transmission in neutral and the brakes applied, depress the speed-up push-button on the forward
left (street) side of the body (see Figure 3-11). You should hear the engine speed-up.
Page 73
Operating the 2R-II™ 65
Danger!
Caution!
Move both the packer panel lever and carrier panel lever inward and let go. Check for the
following:
• Engaging the carrier panel lever will activate an engine speed-up switch; you should hear the
engine speed-up.
• Observe the carrier and packer panel movement; it should be smooth. The panels should stop
automatically at the “interrupted cycle” position.
Never place hands in or near the packer panel during operation.
Never hold the packer or the carrier panel lever in position by hand. Always engage and let
go immediately. The only exception is at the end of a load.
Move both the packer panel lever and carrier panel lever outward and let go. Observe the carrier
and packer panel movement; it should be smooth. The panels should stop automatically at the
“home” position.
Depress the two driver signal push-buttons located on both sides of the tailgate to make sure that
the audible alarm located in the cab is working (see Figure 3-13).
Back the unit up a few feet to ensure that the backup alarm is working properly.
Loosen the tailgate clamps and swing them out (see Figure 3-12). Raise the tailgate approximately
6” and check to see if the T
audible. (Do not have the unit in reverse.)

Operating Instructions
Starting Up
1. Inspect and start the truck as described in the pre-operational “walk-around” inspection.
2. Engage the Pump/PTO switch (to start the hydraulic pump) [see Pump Switch on page 44].
3. Place the Engine Speed-Up switch in the ON position (see Engine Speed-Up Switch on page 44).
Positioning the Pushout Panel
To load the unit, the pushout panel must be positioned toward the rear of the body.
Caution!
To position the pushout panel correctly:
1. Depress and hold the speed-up push-button.
Check the tailgate clamps to make sure both are securely tightened (see Figure 3-12). On
units with a hydraulic tailgate-locking mechanism, make sure the tailgate is properly locked.
Both tailgate cylinders must be extended (see Figure 2-10).
2. Push the pushout lever rearward until the pushout cylinder is fully extended.
Page 77
Operating the 2R-II™ 69
NOTE: On units with a telescopic pushout cylinder, the pushout panel is now in position for loading.
3. Release the speed-up button and pull the pushout lever forward until the pushout cylinder is fully
retracted.
4. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 until the pushout panel is as far back as it will go and then pull forward on
the pushout lever to fully retract the pushout cylinder. Now extend the cylinder a few inches to
reset the clamp.
Loading the Hopper
There are only a few but important points to remember during loading of refuse:
Load the hopper evenly on both sides.
Load heavy objects in the center of the hopper.
Do not load refuse higher than the loading edge.
Warning!
Always follow proper loading procedures.
Attaching a Container to the Tailgate
Place the container on a flat, level surface. For large non-moveable containers the driver should back
the unit toward the container following all vehicle and refuse body safety restrictions.
Page 78
70 Operating the 2R-II™
The vehicle should be backed with the latch arms open until the container trunnion bar (see
Container on page 55) is between the guide ears (see Container Attachment on page 55) and within
the latch assembly. Center the container on the attachment.
CKER

Page 79
Operating the 2R-II™ 71
NOTE: If the container is equipped with wheels, it should be rolled into position only after the vehicle
parking brake has been set.
NOTE: Even small containers must be secured to the tailgate with the latch arms.
Using a Winch or a Container Lifting Cylinder
Once the container is secured within the latch assembly, the lifting cable should be attached. Place
the load in the base of the hook with the safety latch closing the throat opening (see Hook on
page 55).
ATTACH CONTAINER
LOWER TO CHECK CONTENT
IMPORTANT: Hooks must be 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 following illustration shows both correct and incorrect positioning of the hook.

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons, make sure the 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 control lever in the direction shown on the instruction decal to raise the container. When
the cable is tight, the speed-up button (see Figure 4-1) should be depressed and held to provide
sufficient hydraulic power to lift the container.
CONTAINER
HANDLING

LEVERS
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 persons 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 container and the tailgate while standing on the ground without placing yourself
between them.
Figure 4-1
Engine speed-up button
NOTE: On units with a roof-mounted container lifting cylinder, the speed of the device is limited
during both the up and down movement. This speed reduction is for safety considerations.
When the hopper is full, lower the container to the ground, assure all persons are standing clear and
then engage the packer mechanism (see Packing the Load on page 73).
Page 81
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.
Using a Container Push Bar (CPB)
Once the container is secured within the latch assembly the container is ready to be dumped. After
assuring that all persons are standing clear, the operator moves the CPB control lever in the direction
shown on the instruction decal to raise the container. When raising a container with the push bar, it is
normal for the container to first lift upward within the container latch assembly, then tip toward the
hopper and finally lower or drop to the bottom of the latch slots.

Pushout Panel Operation during Packing
The 2R-II™ telescopic pushout cylinder will normally move toward the front of the body
automatically. When the resistance circuit is adjusted to produce maximum load density, it may
become necessary to manually retract the telescopic pushout cylinder in order to allow the
compacted refuse to move forward in the body. Also, if the packer panel stops short of the “home”
position, the carrier panel operating lever may need to be held (overridden) to allow the refuse to
move the pushout panel toward the front of the body. When the pushout panel has reached the front
of the body, neither the packer panel operating lever nor the carrier panel lever should be overridden
except to clear the final hopper load.
