Because the packing system is put to such intensive use (1,000 to 3,000 cycles a day), LabrieEnviroquip Group recommends that operators perform a visual inspection of the packer and itscomponents every day.Maintenance personnel must perform weekly inspection and maintenance. Greasing all moving partson a daily basis is very important and proper adjustment of the proximity switches is mandatory,especially on vehicles equipped with a multi-cycle feature. For more information on the lubricationschedule, see Lubrication on page 99.Any problems found on the packing system must be corrected immediately. In case of problem,contact your distributor.Danger! Always lock out and tag out the vehicle during inspection and maintenance (see LockingOut and Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 12).Side railPackercylinderRoller
