Appendix A: Packmat Operation Tips Sheet

Turn on control panel.
- Box located on floor between driver and passenger seat.
Camera display should turn on automatically when the Packmat is turned on.
Turn on engine idle switch if equipped.
- Center of dash cluster.
To deploy roller.
- Joystick to the right with trigger
Camera will switch to dumpster view once roller is fully extended in a vertical position.
- Press lower left thumb button with trigger on joystick to drop roller inside container
Roller back
- Joystick back with trigger
Roller forward
- Joystick forward with trigger
Stow Roller.
- Bring roller to front of container closest to truck.
- Press upper left thumb button on joystick with trigger to raise roller.
- Ensure roller is completely raised.
- Joystick to the left with trigger.
- Boom arm will slowly move towards truck cab and roller will gently rest on rubber bumpers.
- Roller will not completely seat in cradle from hydraulic pressure build up to release pressure press upper left button on joystick (this releases the dump valve) then repeat stow and pressure release procedure until roller is in cradle.
- Operation alarm will shut off once roller is properly seated.

Operational Tips

Check fluid levels and grease machine beginning of everyday.
After rolling back and forth a few times lower roller more into dumpster. Follow lowering procedure. May need to release pressure first. Press upper left joystick button.
Send roller all the way to back of dumpster. Let it chew up trash as it lowers. Once roller is at rear dumpster bottom roll it back. Roller may not return if dumpster is very full. In this case slightly raise roller and try again. Continue this procedure until roller returns. This procedure helps chew up trash in rear of dumpster.
If machine does not response to your joystick command. Press pressure release button and try again. • Look in driver side mirror for a different view of dumpster.

Troubleshooting

Truck won’t go into gear after servicing dumpster → the boom is not seated completely, the float switch must be ON to properly seat the boom and trigger the magnetic sensor. Once the sensor is triggered it will allow the truck to go into gear. • Boom will not lower drum into dumpster and/or roller will not rotate → the boom is not completely vertical and has not triggered the rear limit switch
Boom will not raise roller out of dumpster and/or roller will not rotate → the boom is not completely vertical and has not triggered the rear limit switch, this results from an operator error during operation that moves the boom away from the limit switch
Back up camera does not work → the Packmat power switch must be turned ON to power the display and the backup camera
Packmat unit will not operate → pull out the EPO switch, it may have been pushed in by your knee, backpack, etc. • Filter Clog Indicator Light →in extreme cold winter conditions the hydraulic oil clog filter light may come on, this is normal since the oil is cold and thick. The light should go out after the oil warms up for 10-15 minutes.
