1.1.1 Battery Cable Disconnect

If the refuse vehicle is not equipped with a battery disconnect

switch, disconnect the negative (black) battery cable rst, then

disconnect the positive (red) cable.

WARNING

For trucks without a battery disconnect switch, to prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative cable first) before proceeding.

Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury.

1.2 Safety Equipment

Some McNeilus Refuse Trucks come equipped with a ve pound re extinguisher, which has a rating of B:C, and a reective warning triangle kit containing three triangles.

The re extinguisher may already be mounted to the refuse

vehicle, otherwise it is temporarily placed into the cab of your

truck along with the reective triangle kit.

If you are supplying your own re extinguisher, it must comply

with DOT FMCSA regulation 173.309 and 393.95 for rating and placement on the vehicle.

You are responsible for permanent mounting of this

equipment. The re extinguisher is required to be securely

mounted to prevent sliding, rolling, or vertical movement. The

placement and mounting location of the reective triangles are

at your discretion.

1.3 Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you

should immediately inform the National Highway Trafc

Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc., and the chassis manufacturer.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an

investigation, and if it nds that a safety defect exists

in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc., or the chassis manufacturer.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety

Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800424-9153); go to: http://www.safercar.gov or write

to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from: http://www.safercar.gov.

Safety

WARNING

It is important that the pump ON indicator light is working. No damage will be done to the hydraulic system if the Packer is driven with the pump in the ON position. However, the controls will function if accidentally bumped. This can cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

Always check indicator lights in the chassis cab or on the control panel at the front of the Packer. Replace bulbs or lights when required. (Note: All models may not have indicator lights.) Failure to inspect indicator lights may lead to more serious conditions.

DANGER

Never stand or position yourself under any raised hydraulic component. Moving the control lever of any raised hydraulic component will cause the component to suddenly lower, whether the E-Stop is pressed or not.

Serious personal injury or death may occur.

WARNING

Do not leave the truck unattended until the parking brake has been securely set and all reasonable precautions have been taken to prevent the movement of the truck. The operator must chock the truck wheels anytime he is away from the vehicle for an extended period of time. Wheel chocks are available for purchase from McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. by calling 888-686-7278.

Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury or death or damage to equipment.

WARNING

3.5 Hydraulics

Call McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. at 888-686-7278 anytime you have questions concerning hydraulic hoses, tubes, or pipes.

DANGER

Hydraulic systems operate under very high pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping from a pressurized system can penetrate unprotected body tissue. Never inspect for hydraulic leaks with bare hands or other exposed body parts. As a minimum, wear leather gloves and use cardboard or wood to inspect for leaks. If leaks are present, relieve pressure and allow system to cool prior to servicing. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, contact a physician immediately. Serious complications may arise if not treated immediately.

21

Rear Loader

Safety

WARNING

Hydraulic hoses and tubing must be inspected on a daily basis for leaks, cuts, abrasions, damage, aging, improper clearance, and along the frame for hidden damage. If you find hoses with any such adverse conditions or damage, they must be replaced before the vehicle is returned to service! Failure to properly inspect and maintain your vehicle may result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING

Hydraulic systems are hot. DO NOT TOUCH! Serious personal injury or death may result from hot oil. When you have completed working on the hydraulic systems, thoroughly clean any spilled oil from the equipment. Do not spill any hydraulic fluid on the ground. Clean any hydraulic fluid from your skin as soon as you have completed your maintenance and repairs. Dispose of used oil and filters as required by law.

WARNING

The hydraulic cylinders can be holding a function in a certain position when the engine is OFF. An example of this would be a function being held in the lift or partial lift position by the cylinders. If a hydraulic line is removed or the hydraulic circuits or controls are being worked on, gravity may allow the function being held in position to drop. All workers and personnel must remain clear of these areas when working on or operating the McNeilus equipment. Block and secure all applicable devices and functions before beginning work or operation. Failure to comply with this can result in serious injury or death.

Rear Loader

22

Safety

WARNING

All hydraulic pressure must be relieved from the hydraulic system prior to removing any components from the system. To relieve the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic system, turn the chassis engine OFF and operate the Packer controls with the key in the ON position. This will allow the spools to shift and relieve the hydraulic pressure. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Hydraulic hoses have the SAE ratings marked on the hose to assist in selecting the correct hose. Replacement hydraulic hose and fitting components must be supplied by the same manufacturer to prevent serious injury or death. An as example: Brand “A” hose and brand “B” fitting will not normally be compatible.

WARNING

Hydraulic systems operate under high pressure. Only qualified, experienced people properly trained in hydraulic system maintenance should attempt repairs or troubleshoot hydraulic systems. Use the proper tools and equipment when servicing the hydraulic system. Failure to comply can cause serious injury. Please contact McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. at 888-686-7278 if you require assistance.

WARNING

Increasing hydraulic pressure beyond the recommendations may result in serious damage to the Packer or serious personal injury or death and may void the Packer Warranty.

23

Rear Loader

Safety

WARNING

All hydraulic pressures must be relieved from the hydraulic system prior to removing any components from the system to prevent oil from spraying or functions or systems from falling. Failure to follow this procedure can result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING

Do not steam clean or pressure wash the pump or hydraulic hose. Cleaning the pump with a high pressure washer or steam cleaning may damage the pump’s seals and allow water to enter the hydraulic system. Cleaning the hydraulic hose with a high pressure washer or steam cleaning will damage the hose’s outer covering and steel braid and lead to premature failure. The pump and hydraulic hose should be wiped with a clean lint-free cloth rather than washed.

WARNING

Do not heat hydraulic tubing. The carbon content of this steel tube is such that if heated for bending, and either water or air is quenched, the tubing may lose its ductility and thereby be subject to failure under high pressure or hydraulic shock conditions. Serious injury can result. Damaged or leaking tubing must be replaced before the Packer is returned to service. Please contact McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. at 888-686-7278 if you require assistance or have questions.

WARNING

Hydraulic components can be heavy. Use caution while lifting these components. Serious personal injury can be avoided with proper handling of the components.

Rear Loader

24

Safety

WARNING

Use correct hoses, fittings, and adapters with the correct SAE rating when replacing hoses to prevent possible serious injury. Always replace hoses, fittings, and adapters with replacements that have a proper, suitable, working pressure rating. Replacement hoses must be of the correct length and must comply with the hose manufacturer’s installation guidelines and recommendations. Consult hose and fitting manufacturers for correct specifications or contact McNeilus at 888-686-7278.

WARNING

Any hydraulic tubing that is replaced must conform to SAE J1065 specifications. If incorrect hydraulic tubing is installed, the hydraulic system may fail, serious injury or death can result. Damage or leaking tubing must be replaced before the Packer is returned to service.

WARNING

When performing hydraulic test procedures, use the proper hydraulic gauges. Installing an incorrect test gauge could result in serious injury or death if the gauge fails. Use properly rated hydraulic hoses with adequate length to allow the test gauge to be used far enough away from moving parts and functions.

WARNING

Allow no twist when installing hoses. Remember that 7° of twist per foot decreases hose life by 95%. When installing hydraulic hose, use a wrench to hold the hose in its natural position before tightening the fittings. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.

25

Rear Loader

Safety

WARNING

Many hose coverings are available. Choose the hose manufacturer’s covering which is most resistant to acid wash. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death. Some hose coverings may retain acid wash and cause premature failure of the hose.

WARNING

Anticipate a 4% hose shrinkage factor when determining hose length. When a hose pressurizes, it expands and becomes shorter. Hose style shrinkage rates vary among different size and brand hoses. Allowing 4% will prevent the hose from tugging on the fittings when the hose is pressurized. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death. Example: A 50” hose would have to be 4% longer or 52” total length.

WARNING

The tailgate cylinders and body lift cylinders have orifices installed in the barrel end ports. These orifices limit the amount of hydraulic flow, which controls the speed of the cylinders. The orifices must remain in the cylinders. If a cylinder is changed, the replacement cylinder must have an orifice installed to ensure safe and proper operation. Removal of the orifice can cause rapid retraction of the cylinder. This can cause severe injury or death. Check all replacement cylinders to ensure the orifice is in place before installation and operation.

Rear Loader

26

3.6 Electrical

WARNING

Proximity switches must remain functional for safe operation of the Packer. If a switch does not work, it must be replaced immediately with an OEM switch before the Packer returns to service. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death. Contact McNeilusTruck and Manufacturing, Inc. at 888-686-7278 for assistance if required.

WARNING

If a prox switch does not work, it should be replaced with an OEM switch. Non-OEM switches may not be correct and may result in an accident.

Failure to follow regulations may cause serious personal injury or death.

4.6 Auxiliary Axle

The following information is for auxiliary axles installed by McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. Refer to chassis manufacturer information for axle installed by the chassis manufacturer or a third party.

The auxiliary axle down force is controlled by regulated air pressure to the axle suspension air springs. The regulated air pressure is preset at the factory to a common pressure setting. Determine the actual regulated air pressure by driving the vehicle over a truck scale at the various weights the vehicle will be operated at up to the GVWR as shown on the Final Stage Manufacturer Label located on the driver’s side cab doorjamb (see Section 2 in the Foreword). Adjust the regulated air pressure according to the auxiliary axle manufacturer’s pressure/weight chart located in the cab information packet supplied with the vehicle. The air pressure gauge is located in the cab of the vehicle and may also be located outside of the cab.

Always follow your company’s policies and procedures when adjusting the air pressure. If you have any questions, call

McNeilus Parts and Service branches at 888-686-7278.

WARNING

Do not operate your vehicle until you have determined the actual regulated air pressure for the auxiliary axles. Improper regulated air pressure will affect handling of the vehicle.

Failure to adjust and maintain the regulated air pressure correctly may result in serious personal injury or death.

A pusher axle option is mounted in front of the rear drive axle. A tag axle option is mounted behind the rear drive axle. Either axle is pneumatically applied, and is controlled by an option switch on the cab console (see Section 1.0 Instruments and Controls).

NOTE

Only lower the pusher axle after you have started your route. Never lower the axle when the packer is empty. When emptying the packer, the pusher axle must be in the raised position.

4.7.1 Water Tank Safety

WARNING

IMPORTANT ALUMINUM AND STEEL WATER TANK INFORMATION.

1. Inspect water tank on a daily basis for any damage including, but not limited to, dents, gouges in metal, or leaks.

2. Do not weld on or repair water tank. Instead, replace water tank with a new OEM water tank.

3. Never pressure test an empty water tank. Only pressure test a full water tank.

4. Never remove pressure regulator or pressure safety valve from tank.

• If regulator or safety valve is defective, it must be replaced before Packer is put into service.

5. Do not pressurize water tank beyond its working pressure.

• If pressure exceeds the working pressure, immediately depressurize water tank and replace pressure regulator and pressure safety valve.

Rear Loader

WARNING

CONTINUED

6. Never drive the truck with the water tank pressurized.

• Depressurize water tank prior to transit to or from job site.

• Water tank should be pressurized only when being used.

7. Never modify water tank in any way.

8. Immediately replace safety decals with McNeilus decals if decals are missing or difficult to read.

9. Refer to the McNeilus Operator’s Manual or contact McNeilus at 1-888-686-7278 if you have questions or require assistance.

4.7.2 Introduction

Your vehicle may be equipped with a pressurized water tank. This tank is used to rinse debris off the vehicle. Air pressure from the vehicle’s brake system is used to provide pressure to the tank. Use these instructions for the safe operation and inspection of all McNeilus, Oshkosh, and London pressurized water tanks.

If your vehicle is equipped with a non-pressurized water tank

(a system that uses a water pump to provide pressure), refer to the instructions provided with the vehicle.

72

Operation

4.7.3 Daily Inspection

• Inspect tank daily for damage or leaks.

• Replace (do not repair) damaged or leaking tank.

• Drain pressure before driving.

• Do not weld or repair tank.

• Never exceed stated PSI in tank.

• Bursting tank may injure or kill.

4.7.3.1 Tank Integrity

At the start of each shift:

• Inspect Interior: Drain the tank of water and use a

ashlight to look into the tank through the ll opening.

Look for signs of corrosion on the inside of the tank which may indicate that the tank has been weakened and is in need of replacement.

• Inspect Exterior without Pressure: If the interior

inspection indicates that the tank is in good condition, ll

the tank with water and inspect the exterior of the tank

thoroughly for signs of leaks. Inspect the ller neck and ll

opening. Look for signs of damage. Look for cracks in the weld joints or seams. Check that all fastening hardware is

tight and undamaged. Inspect ttings for signs of damage,

cracks, or looseness.

• Inspect Exterior with Pressure: If there are no signs

of damage or exterior leakage, pressurize the tank and repeat the inspection.

• Depressurize Tank: Release the pressure in the tank as

soon as you are nished inspecting and before moving

the truck.

Replace Defective Tank: Water tanks with any leak or

signicant signs of internal or external damage or corrosion

should be replaced. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR.

4.7.3.2 Pressure Regulator Valve

• Inspect Pressure Regulator: The pressure regulator

is used to reduce the air brake system pressure to a pressure that is safe to be used in the water tank. It must be undamaged and in proper working order. Look and listen for signs of leaking. Ensure that the valve and

associated hoses and ttings are undamaged.

• Adjust Pressure to Correct Setting: Many pressure regulators are set at the factory and cannot be adjusted. If your water tank has an adjustable regulator, set it to 50 psi. When setting the regulator, always begin by turning

the adjusting knob counterclockwise rst to reduce the

pressure slightly. Then turn it clockwise slowly to bring the pressure up to the correct setting. Never continue to turn the valve past the correct setting.

• Replace Defective Regulator Valve: Any water tank with a damaged or missing pressure regulator valve must be removed from service immediately. Do not pressurize the tank until a functioning pressure regulator valve has been installed.

73

Rear Loader

Operation

4.7.3.3 Pressure Relief Valve

• Inspect the Relief Valve: The pressure relief valve is a

safety device that will release air or water from the tank if it is inadvertently pressurized over the relief setting. The relief setting on most water tanks is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted. Identify the pressure relief valve and ensure that it has not been damaged or tampered with.

• Replace Defective Relief Valve: Any water tank with a damaged or missing pressure relief valve must be removed from service immediately. Do not pressurize the tank until a functioning pressure relief valve has been installed.

4.7.4 Daily Operation

The water tank is designed to be used during stationary

operation at the yard or the landll site only. Do NOT

pressurize the tank while driving. A pressurized water tank is an added hazard in the event of a crash or a rollover.

4.7.5 Vehicle Handling Characteristics

Safe operation of any vehicle is the responsibility of the driver.

The water tank is a uid load that can increase the rollover

tendency if the truck is driven with the water tank partially full. To reduce the risk of rollover, only drive the truck with the water tank either completely full or completely empty. Avoid making sharp turns at excessive speeds and other abrupt maneuvers.

In the event of a rollover or crash, an unbelted person is

signicantly more likely to become injured or die than a person

wearing a seat belt. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT.
