All Rights Reserved. 21 Rear Loader SAFETY 3.5 Hydraulics WARNING Call McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing at (507) 374-6321 anytime you have questions concerning hydraulic hoses, tubes or pipes. Hydraulic hoses, fittings, tubes and pipes 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 any with these adverse conditions or damage, they must be replaced before the Packer is returned to service! In any event, all hydraulic hoses must be replaced every three years or 7500 hours. Failure to properly inspect and maintain your Packer may result in serious personal injury or death. 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. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or death. Rear Loader 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. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or death. 22 © 08/2007 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. SAFETY WARNING 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. 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 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 injury or death. WARNING Never heat hydraulic tubes or pipes. The carbon content of the steel in the tubes or pipes is such that if heated for bending, and either water or air quenched, the tubes or pipes may lose their ductility and thereby be subject to failure under high pressure or hydraulic shock conditions. Damaged or leaking tubes or pipes must be replaced before the Packer is returned to service. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. © 08/2007 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 23 Rear Loader SAFETY WARNING 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 or death. Hydraulic components can be heavy. Use caution while lifting these components. Serious personal injury or death can be avoided with proper handling of the components. WARNING Do not increase hydraulic pressure beyond the recommendations. Increasing hydraulic pressure may result in serious damage to the Packer or serious personal injury or death and may void the Packer Warranty. WARNING Do not steam clean or pressure wash hydraulic hoses or components. Steam cleaning, using extremely hot water, or pressure washing may damage the hoses and components and shorten the life or cause failure of the components. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death. Rear Loader 24 © 08/2007 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The level sight gauges (Figure 10, 4) are located on either end of the reservoir. Make sure the shut-off valve (Figure 10, 5) is fully open and not partially closed. A nylon strap (Figure 10, 6) must be installed on the shut-off valve to prevent vibration from closing the shut-off valve or inadvertent closing of the valve. 6 Anytime the shut-off valve is closed and reopened, the nylon strap must be replaced. 5 3 Figure 10 © 08/2007 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc.
