SECTION 2
INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of the packer is to safely and efficiently: load, compact, 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, read the complete
Alpha, Beta and Delta SERVICE MANUAL. Before going further, look at the accompanying illustrations and become familiar with the terms you will need to know.
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.
CARRIER
PANEL
PACKER
PANEL
COMPACTION
When the operator starts the packing cycle the packer panel opens and the carrier and packer panels automatically move rearward, over the load.
PACKER PANEL
MOVES OVER LOAD
Next, the carrier and packer panels automatically stop at the “interrupted cycle” position.
2-2
The operator again activates the packing cycle. The carrier and packer panels move forward and sweep the refuse from the hopper up into the body and pack it against the pushout panel. Having completed a cycle, the carrier and packer panels are back into the “home” position and the hopper is cleared for more refuse.
COMPACTION CYCLE
Also, during the compaction 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.
As loading and compaction continues, the pushout panel gradually moves forward until the body is full.
Once the body is full the unit can be moved to the dumpsite for unloading.
PUSHOUT PANEL
MOVES FORWARD

UNLOADING
At the dumpsite the unit is unloaded in two easy steps:
First, the tailgate is raised by the operator.
Second, the pushout panel is moved to the rear of the body, pushing out the load.
If the unit is going to travel over one mile empty, completely retract the cylinder. When packing is about to resume extend the cylinder and start packing.

SECTION 2
INTRODUCTION
CONTAINER ATTACHMENT
The Leach Container Attachment system consists of a loading edge with a latch assembly and a guide ear
(ear) on each side of the packer tailgate. The standard container for use with the Leach rear loader must have an ANSI Standard 1 1 ⁄
4
" – 1 3 ⁄
4
" diameter trunnion bar which is between 77 1 ⁄
2
" and 78" end to end. This trunnion bar length will center the container between the
“ears” and prevent the container from moving sideways. The latch arms must be manually raised and secured by the arm latch. The container arms, when properly latched together with the guide ears, will secure the container to the packer.
Only containers that meet the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) regulations should be used in conjunction with Leach
Container Handling Systems.
CONTAINER HANDLING SYSTEMS
To lift or dump a container, several systems are available.
A hydraulically operated container push bar is available to handle containers of 1 to 3 cubic yard capacity.
The handling of containers with capacities of four (4) or more cubic yards requires the use of a drum winch or roof mounted container lifting cylinder.
Drum winches are rated at various pounds of pull.
Leach Company offers winches with 8,000, 12,000 and heavy duty 12,000 lb. ratings. The Leach container lift cylinder is rated at 12,000 pounds.
NOTE:
Leach bodies are capable of being equipped with more than one container handling system.

LOADING THE HOPPER
There are only a few but important points to remember during loading of refuse.
1. Load the hopper evenly on both sides.
2. Load heavy objects in the center of the hopper.
3. Do not load refuse higher than the loading edge.
Always follow proper loading procedures.
ATTACHING A CONTAINER TO THE PACKER
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.
The vehicle should be backed with latch arms open until the container trunnion bar is between the guide ears and within the latch assembly. Center the container on the attachment.
ATTACHING CONTAINER
After setting the vehicle parking brake, the right and left container latch arms must be engaged.
Lifting a container without both latch arms secured can allow the container to swing away from the unit and cause severe injury or death.
NOTE:
If the container is equipped with wheels, it should be rolled into position only after the vehicle parking brake has been set.
Even small containers must use the latch arms to secure them to the packer.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
USING A WINCH OR CONTAINER LIFT CYLINDER
ATTACH CONTAINER
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.
It is important that hooks are 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 diagrams show both correct and incorrect positioning of the hook.
For the safety of yourself as well as others always ensure that a 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 speedup button should be depressed and held to provide sufficient hydraulic power to lift the container.
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.

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.
LOWER TO GROUND
When the hopper is full, lower the container to the ground, assure all persons are standing clear and then engage the packer mechanism. See Sec. 3 Operation -
Packing Load.
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.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
DUMPING WITH CPB 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.
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.

Releasing the CPB control handle when the container begins to tip will allow the container trunnion bar to lower within the latch slots with ease.
PACKING THE LOAD
NOTE:
The compaction cycle can be stopped at any time by moving both the packer panel lever and the carrier panel lever to the center (neutral).
1. Cycle the packer panel and the carrier panel by moving both the packer panel lever and the carrier panel lever inward, toward the tailgate, then let go. The packer panel will open and the packer panel lever will automatically shift to neutral. The carrier panel will then move down to above the loading edge, stop in the “interrupted cycle” position and the carrier panel lever will automatically shift to neutral.

GENERAL REPAIR PRACTICES
Proper service and repair is important for the safe, reliable operation of all mechanical products. the service procedures recommended and described in this service manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. These special tools should be used when and as recommended. Since Leach Company could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all possible ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way, we have not accordingly , anyone who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by Leach Company must first thoroughly satisfy himself that neither his nor the operator’s safety will be jeopardized by the service methods selected. Any person who modifies their equipment must do so in accordance with American National Standards Institute
Z245.1-1992. It is important to note that deviating from these procedures could cause damage to the unit or render it unsafe. However, please remember that these procedures are not all inclusive.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
Proper preparation is very important for efficient safe service work. A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to perform the repair as easily and quickly as possible and reduce the incidence of misplaced tools and parts. If the portion of the unit to be repaired is excessively dirty, it should be cleaned before work starts. The cleaning process may include the use of high pressure equipment and strong chemicals. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions during this process. Cleaning will occasionally uncover trouble sources. tools, instruments and parts needed for the job should be gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a needless delay. Special tools required for a specific job are listed in Section 11.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Of growing concern to the Leach Company is the use of counterfeit, will-fit or substitute parts. Leach Signature replacement parts are designed and manufactured to exacting standards. The use of counterfeit, will-fit or substitute parts may affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. Insure maximum reliability and protect your investment - insist on Leach
Signature original factory replacement parts.
SERVICE BULLETINS
In addition to the information provided in this Service
Manual, Service Bulletins are issued when needed to cover interim changes or to provide supplementary information necessary for maintaining the refuse unit in a proper safe operating condition. (Check with your authorized Leach dealer.)

GENERAL REPAIR PRACTICES
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
SERVICE OR REPAIR
1.
Set the parking brake.
2.
Put the vehicle in park, or if equipped with a manual transmission, put the unit in gear and remove the ignition key.
3.
Place an OSHA approved chock block in front of and behind the front tire.
4.
If steel supports are to be used to support the tailgate, place them as shown in Section 9, SERVICE
AND REPAIR, under TAILGATE REPAIR.
5.
When working on the unit always use the service tools listed in Section 10, SERVICE TOOLS if so directed by the instructions in Section 9, SERVICE
AND REPAIR.
6.
Whenever dismantling any hydraulic line, valve, or cylinder be sure to turn off the hydraulic fluid flow, relieve the pressure and slowly crack or loosen the fittings.
SAFETY DURING SERVICE AND REPAIR
1.
Always wear safety glasses.
2.
Disengage the PTO, turn off the ignition and remove the keys before: a. Leaving the truck cab.
b. Examination or lubrication of the PTO, pump or drive shafts.
c. Entering the front of the body.
d. Entering the tailgate.
5.
When it becomes necessary to raise the tailgate for maintenance or repair, do not enter the area beneath the tailgate unless the proper bracing has first been applied. All bracing and supports must be able to support 7500 lbs.
6.
Never enter the body when the load is under compaction pressure. Bring the packer plate to the
“interrupted cycle” stop position and retract the pushout plate slightly.
3.
Always check to make sure the body access door is locked shut before entering the cab.
4.
Pump removal; due to the weight and location of the pump, it is advisable to place a floor jack beneath the pump and apply a slight pressure, so that when the bolts are removed the pump is supported.
WELDING PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRIC WELDERS
1.
Electric arc welders should have a separate, fused disconnect circuit.
2.
Welders must be used according to the manufacturers specifications.
3.
All electric welding should be done in a well-ventilated area.
4.
The radiation given off by the arc will destroy the retina of the eye. Wear an approved welder’s helmet.
5.
Welding radiation will produce severe burns on unprotected skin, similar to sunburn, so wear heavy clothing. Use natural fiber or leather — avoid synthetic fiber clothing.

SECTION 4
GENERAL REPAIR PRACTICES
OXY-ACETYLENE TORCHES
1.
Acetylene is a highly explosive gas which should be treated with the greatest care. At pressures above15 psi, acetylene will explode by decomposition without the presence of air. No other industrial gas has such a wide explosive range.
2.
Oxygen will spontaneously ignite in the presence of oil and grease. The hoses, torch handles and regulators must be kept free of petroleum products.
3.
Before using the equipment, inspect it for cleanliness and for leaks.
4.
Hoses cannot be safely repaired; when they show signs of deterioration, they should be replaced.
5.
Return regulators periodically to the distributor for inspection. Store gas bottles upright and out of the sun. Do not attempt to repair or make internal adjustments on the regulators yourself.
6.
If you suspect a leak in the system, perform a leak test using an approved leak detection system. DO
NOT USE HOUSEHOLD OR LAUNDRY SOAP
BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF OXYGEN
COMBINING WITH IT AND EXPLODING.
7.
When preparing to use the torch, make certain that the regulator valves are all the way out to the
“off” position before the main tank valves are opened to protect the regulators from sudden impact of tank pressure.
8.
When opening the tank valves, stand alongside of the regulators, out of the way, in case they blow out.
9.
Backfiring or “machine gunning” at the torch is very dangerous and can lead to a major explosion.
10.
Welding should be done in a location well away from flammable materials.
REMOVAL, DISASSEMBLY AND REPAIR
1.
Cleanliness is very important; dirt is the number one cause of wear in bearings, bushings and especially in hydraulic components.
8.
When disassembling a component, note the position of each part as it is removed to aid in reassembly.
2.
Inspect hydraulic components for leaks before cleaning. The dirt buildup on the component can aid in tracing fluid leaks.
3.
Clean hydraulic connections before removal to prevent dirt from entering the component.
4.
Loosen hydraulic fittings slowly to release pressure.
5.
Cap hydraulic fittings immediately after removal to prevent fluid from leaking.
6.
Clean the component in non-flammable solvent before disassembly.
7.
Inspect the component after cleaning for signs of wear or external damage.
9.
During disassembly note the condition of each part as it is removed to aid in diagnosing problems and to help prevent them in the future.
10.
Clean and inspect disassembled parts for wear, cracks,dirt, etc.
11.
After cleaning and inspection, reusable hydraulic parts should be immediately coated with clean fresh hydraulic fluid to prevent rust formation. If these parts are not going to be reinstalled immediately, they should be wrapped in a clean lint free cloth or paper to prevent nicks or scratches.
12.
When repacking a cylinder, or resealing a valve, replace all seals and o-rings that are disturbed during repair. The price of a few seals is very little compared to a return repair job.
4-3
SECTION 4
GENERAL REPAIR PRACTICES
REASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
1.
Assemble parts in the same position as removed.
2.
Align parts accurately before mating.
3.
Inspect o-ring and seal grooves for sharp edges, nicks or burrs before installing new sealing parts.
4.
Lubricate all new sealing parts with clean, fresh hydraulic fluid before installation.
5.
Use care not to damage new sealing parts on reassembly.
6.
Use correct torque values when reassembling and installing components. See CAPSCREW MARK-
ING AND TORQUE VALUES later in this section.
7.
Always check the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank after performing any service or repair of the hydraulic system.
8.
Always lubricate components with grease fittings after they have been repaired and reinstalled.
9.
Use only Leach Signature replacement parts.
NOTE:
See Section 9, SERVICE AND REPAIR for specific repair instructions.
ELECTRICAL TESTING
The electrical system used on the unit consists of various lights, switches and wiring. Testing the components and wiring can be accomplished by two simple checks; CHECKING FOR VOLTAGE and CHECKING
CONTINUITY.
CHECKING FOR VOLTAGE
A test light is used to check for the presence of electricity in a live circuit. Connect the test light clip to a good ground and the probe at the point where the presence of voltage is to be checked. If voltage is present, the light will be on...if no voltage is present, the light will be off.
CHECKING CONTINUITY
A continuity tester is used to check the ability of a conductor to allow current to pass. A continuity tester uses a self contained power source and should never be used on alive circuit. Connect the clip to one side of the component to be tested and touch the probe to the other side. If the component has the potential to pass current, has continuity, the light will be on ...if the component is not able to pass current, there is no continuity and the light will be off.
WELDING
1.
Completely clean out an old weld before rewelding.
2.
When repairing a cracked weld, the old weld should be completely removed before rewelding.
3.
When adding a part or attachment be sure; the metal is clean before welding, the part is properly located and the weld will not cause damage to adjacent parts.
4.
Use the following rods (rod-AWS number) for welding:

HYDRAULIC FLUID
To serve its purpose and give long and satisfactory service, hydraulic fluid must possess desirable physical and chemical characteristics. Stability over a wide range of temperatures and under agitation is very important.
Premium hydraulic fluids should be used in Leach hydraulic systems. In addition to the above characteristics selected additives should be incorporated to provide additional resistance to wear, corrosion, oxidation, decomposition and foaming. All additive blending should be done by the lubricant supplier so that they are compatible with each other.
A reputable lubricant supplier backed by a reputable oil company is great assurance of obtaining high quality products and generally speaking, higher quality is worth the higher initial cost.
LEACH HYDRAULIC FLUID RECOMMENDATION
All Leach hydraulic systems are factory filled with a high quality anti-wear hydraulic fluid meeting an ISO 32 specification. On units put into service where there are high ambient temperatures or sustained high duty cycles, it may be desirable to change the fluid to an ISO 46 specification (higher viscosity). In colder climates or light duty, an ISO
22 might be more appropriate. The International Standards Organization assigns specification numbers so that a consumer receives the same product from various suppliers.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE
(See accompanying Hydraulic System illustration)
Proper maintenance of the hydraulic components is of vital importance to the service life of the system and the operation of the unit as a whole.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL (DAILY)
Position and fully retract the pushout, carrier, and packer cylinders to check the fluid level. (1) When checking the fluid level in the hydraulic tank, also note any frequent or sudden loss of fluid. This may indicate leakage, which must be traced and corrected to avert equipment failure and possible damage to other components.
If low, fill the hydraulic tank to the “NORMAL FILL LEVEL” with hydraulic fluid as specified in Sec. 4 SPECIFICA-
TIONS according to operating and weather conditions.
REPLACEMENT OF FILTER ELEMENT
(See Hydraulic System Illustration)
1. Remove filter cover (4).
2. Remove o-ring (5).
3. Remove element (6) and discard.
4. Install a new element (6).
5. Coat a new o-ring (5) with fresh hydraulic fluid and install in filter cover (4).
6. Install the cover and secure to the bowl with the attaching hardware.
7. Check the fluid level and replenish with fresh fluid as described earlier in this section under CHECK-
ING FLUID LEVEL.
CLEAN TANK BREATHER (WEEKLY)
Clean the air breather (2) every week. Replace a breather that cannot be cleaned adequately.
Extended operation of the unit without proper filtration will result in reduced service life of hydraulic system components.
CHECK / REPLACE RETURN LINE
FILTER ELEMENT
The return line filter is a vital component of the hydraulic system. Without proper filtration problems are bound to occur among the hydraulic system components. Stick to the strict maintenance schedule for this item.
Time Lapse Recommendations for Element
Replacement
1. After the first 20-hours of hydraulic pump operation.
2. After the next 50-hours of hydraulic pump operation.
3. Thereafter, every 250-hours of hydraulic pump operation or sooner, if so indicated by the filter replacement indicator (3).
The condition of the filter element must be checked weekly by looking at the visual indicator on the filter.
Refer to item 3 on the tank illustration.
NOTE
Under severe operating conditions the filter life may be reduced. Replace the filter element regardless of elapsed time if the suction indicator is in the red zone.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SERVICE
CONTAMINATION
It is estimated that as much as 90% of all hydraulic problems may be traced directly to the fluid. It is of utmost importance that all foreign matter be kept from the hydraulic fluid. Invisible quantities of abrasive type contamination may cause serious pump wear, malfunctioning of pumps and valves and sludge accumulations within the system in relatively short periods of time. It is also essential that moisture and water be kept from the hydraulic fluids and system.
COMMERCIAL HYDRAULIC FLUID
TESTING
Hydraulic fluid samples should be taken periodically for laboratory analysis. The actual sampling method is critical. It should be done according to ANSI Standard
B93.19M(R1980). This standard is available from the
National Fluid Power Association, 3333 N. Mayfair Rd.,
Milwaukee, WI 53222.
Samples should be taken from the center of the reservoir when the fluid is at operating temperature and placed in a clean, dry glass bottle with a nonshedding screw-on cap. The bottle should be labeled with the date, type of fluid, model and serial number of the machine.
Two identical samples should be taken. One for laboratory analysis and one for your own preliminary analysis while you are waiting for the lab report.
We recommend the use of commercial laboratory services for analysis of routine fluid samples taken on a regularly scheduled basis. The cost is about $20 to $30 per sample. The most important analysis are particle count, Spectro-chemical analysis, water content and viscosity.
of water contamination, the source of which must be found and eliminated immediately. Common sources are inadequate outdoor storage, unsealed reservoir covers or condensation.
A “BLOTTER SPOT TEST” may also be performed to test for OXIDATION. Place a DROP of fluid on a piece of white blotter paper. Order Leach part number 102480 for 20 sheets.
NOTE:
The Blotter Test will provide an indication that a more complete test may be necessary.
A.
If the blotter remains colorless or develops only a light yellow ring, oxidation is under control.
B.
If color develops but is uniform throughout, the fluid is still serviceable but should be checked for correct additive content.
C.
If the sample shows distinct rings the fluid should be changed.
D.
If a distinct dark spot remains in the middle, but a lighter colored fluid migrates outward in the blotter paper the fluid is about to dump (or already has) sludge or other by-products into the system. The time for replacement of this fluid has already passed.
Kits are available from your fluid supplier to test for acid
IN HOUSE HYDRAULIC FLUID TEST-
ING
After your sample has been allowed to stand for 20 to
30 minutes to eliminate air bubbles, hold the bottle up to the light to check whether the fluid is clear or cloudy.
Any visible debris is an indication of a severe solid contamination problem, the source of which must be located and corrected immediately. Common sources of this kind of contamination may be component wear, undersealed reservoir covers or dirty air breather filters.
If the sample is the least bit “cloudy” it is an indication

Each day perform the following maintenance:
1. INSPECTION
Perform the PRE-OPERATIONAL INSPECTION described in Sec. 3, OPERATION.
4. CONTAINER HANDLING
EQUIPMENT
In addition to performing the daily vehicle and packer body pre-operating inspection, also check the container handling system. Each day perform the following inspection.
Never go under the vehicle with the engine running. Death or serious injury could result.
a. When checking for hydraulic leaks pay particular attention to hose fittings and connections at the cylinders and valves. A build up of hydraulic fluid and dirt indicates a small leak that can probably be corrected by tightening the fitting or connection.
b. Check the visual indicator to determine the condition of the return line element.
c. Inspect the mounting sills and mounting hardware. The springs should be compressed to 3 1 ⁄
2 inches + 1 ⁄
8 inch. The mounting bolts should be torqued to 700 ft. lbs. and inspected daily.
2. CLEANING
Hose the entire unit inside and out with clean water. Make sure no refuse is lodged in the body through or behind the pushout plate especially near the clamp area or rear of the tank. Make sure there is no grease on the pushout bar.
3. LUBRICATION
Frequent inspection of grease points will indicate when lubrication is needed.
a.
Check the condition and operation of the container latch assemblies. If the latch arms will not latch securely in the assembly do not use the unit.
b.
A visual inspection of the wire rope (cable) should identify any broken wires or obvious damage. A visual inspection of the chains should identify any damaged or elongated links.
c.
Make a visual inspection of the hook for obvious damage. Make sure that the hook latch is working properly.
d.
Check the operation of the container handling system. The lifting mechanism should move smoothly with no jerkiness or binding.

TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
Troubleshooting is a matter of quickly and logically isolating the cause of a problem and taking corrective action. Factory trained mechanics, experienced operators, a thorough understanding of the information in this manual and accurate maintenance records are the best troubleshooting tools available. Occasionally it may be best for a service person, who is trying to isolate a problem, to go “on the route” or consult with operators to determine how the unit is acting under actual working conditions.
For the most part, problems with the unit will be limited to hydraulic and electrical system component malfunction or control linkage adjustment.
Hydraulic flow diagrams are provided in this section.
These diagrams can be helpful in determining which parts are associated with a particular function. For example, the clamp cylinder is part of the load pushout function.
An electrical wiring diagram is included in Sec. 9, SER-
VICE AND REPAIR under ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
Problems in the hydraulic system may be found by performing the PRESSURE CHECKS found in Sec. 7,
CHECK-OUT PROCEDURES. Refer to Section 10 for telescopic troubleshooting.
COMPACTION
Before troubleshooting a unit, it is important to remember that the compaction may vary with the following conditions:
1.
Type of refuse. Tree branches, dry leaves, furniture and any other items loaded into the body that take up relatively large amounts of space will reduce the compaction ratio.
2.
Moisture content of refuse. Wet refuse will pack tighter than dry and consequently a wet load will weigh more than a dry load. Wet refuse loaded into the body will increase the compaction rate.
3.
Operation of the equipment. As with the operation of any type of heavy equipment, one machine can yield different results with different operators.
Operating a rear loader is a skill. Placement of items in the hopper, not over loading the hopper and releasing the pushout plate clamp at the right time are all learned skills that will affect the compaction rate of a unit.
4.
Preventive maintenance. A properly maintained unit will achieve higher compaction rates than one that is poorly maintained. The condition of the hydraulic system, pump, main relief setting and the condition of the operating cylinder seals will all have an effect on unit performance and compaction. Some chassis components will also affect compaction. The engine speed during packing, fluid level in an automatic transmission and the condition of the clutch assembly in a standard transmission chassis may also affect compaction.
Compaction rates of a unit will depend on the season, the type of trash, the weather and the operation and maintenance of a unit. If the unit packs relatively consistent loads and has been properly maintained according the the Service manual, then it is safe to assume that it is getting maximum compaction for your particular conditions.

SECTION 8
TROUBLESHOOTING
DIESELING IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Any hydraulic system should be a sealed environment free of foreign material including air. Unlike solid contamination, air is compressible and contains oxygen. It is these two (2) properties of air contamination that provide the elements needed to support the phenomenon known as dieseling. Dieseling can only occur when the elements of fuel, oxygen and heat are all present at the same time. In the hydraulic system the hydraulic fluid is the fuel. The presence of air provides not only the oxygen to support combustion, but also the means for generating sufficient heat to ignite the fuel/air mixture.
When air is rapidly compressed, heat is generated. A rapid pressure change of only 600 psi may be enough to generate the heat required to ignite the fluid and air mixture. The oxygen in the heated compressed air and the hydraulic fluid ignite resulting in dieseling. The ignitions that result from dieseling in the hydraulic system are small in size and many may be needed to eventually damage a piston seal to the extent that bypass will occur.
“Where does the air come from?” The answer is that the air comes out of the fluid itself. Hydraulic fluid can contain 10% air by volume. As the pressure on the fluid increases, the amount of air that can be absorbed also increases.
A good example may be a front mounted pump dry valve system. In the dry mode of operation, system hydraulic fluid is drawn through a small orifice. This provides lubrication and cooling for the pump, but also provides a perfect situation for air separation. In addition, the flow regulator bypass at the pump output is returned back to the pump input, this recirculates the fluid/air and allows for the separation of even more air.
In cases where the seals in 2RII packer cylinders appear to be burnt or melted, consider the possibility of air ingestion. The following suggestions may help in eliminating this problem:
1.
Ensure that the pump suction connections are tight.
It is possible for a suction hose connection to allow air in without leaking any fluid out.
2.
The pump shaft seal can allow air into the system.
Replace if the seal is suspect.
3.
Check for air ingestion around the packings on the gate valve stem. Tighten the packing nut if suspect.
4.
Excessive system flow rate (cycle time too fast) can agitate the hydraulic fluid. Set the cycle time according to specifications.
5.
Do not thin hydraulic fluid with diesel fuel (lowers the flash point). Weather permitting, use a higher flash point fluid.
Now we know that the air is most likely present in the fluid, but the next question is, “How does the air get out of the fluid?” The air, while it is in suspension, will pose no problem to the operation of the hydraulic system. But once it is separated into bubbles then all the factors are present to support combustion. The air in suspension can be separated when the fluid is subjected to a negative pressure (vacuum) of as little as 3.5 psi. This can occur when the fluid is squeezed through a restriction or an orifice. The resulting pressure decrease can be sufficient to allow trapped air to separate from the fluid.
After making any repairs on the hydraulic system, bleed the system at reduced engine speed and pressure to remove any trapped air. Depending on the size of the component, e.g. cylinder, hose, it may be necessary to cycle the unit several times. Of course the larger the air pocket, the more cycles are needed. To avoid potential problems, thoroughly bleed all hydraulic systems and ensure that all inlet connections are tight and not ingesting air.

OPERATOR ACTION
Operator starts the truck and engages the PTO and speed up system.
HYDRAULIC SEQUENCE
Hydraulic fluid flows from the tank, by gravity, to the pump; from there, it is pumped to the front control valve. Flow continues through the valve to and through the operating valve and then back to the tank. During packer operation, if pressure increases to the main relief setting, excess flow will be diverted from the front control valve back to tank.

At the end of the packer panel cylinder stroke pressure builds to knockout setting causing the operating valve to shift, diverting flow to the case end of the carrier cylinders. The cylinders extend, moving the carrier and packer panels down to the “interrupted cycle” position (trapped fluid keeps the packer panel cylinders retracted). At the end of the carrier cylinder extension stroke, pressure builds to knockout setting causing the operating valve to shift to neutral.

HYDRAULIC SEQUENCE
Fluid flows from the operating valve to the rod end of the carrier panel cylinders. The cylinders retract, moving the carrier and packer panels up, packing refuse against the pushout panel. When the pressure reaches the knockout setting, the operating valve shifts into neutral and the packing cycle is completed. As the carrier cylinders apply force to compact refuse, the pressure of the trapped fluid in the packer cylinders will increase. Should this pressure reach 3500
PSI (242 BAR), a relief valve will open reducing the pressure by allowing some trapped fluid to escape and return to the hydraulic tank.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TAILGATE LIFT CYLINDERS
These two (2) hydraulically operated cylinders, mounted on each side of the tailgate, lift and lower the tailgate assembly. The rod end is pinned to a pivot ear on the body frame near the discharge opening, while the cylinder weldment pivot ear is attached to a mounting hub on the tailgate.
The cylinders raise the tailgate by means of hydraulic fluid flowing through a port on the case end of the cylinder, extending the cylinder. The tailgate is lowered by the weight of the tailgate forcing oil from the cylinder.
CHECK FOR LEAKING TAILGATE LIFT CYLINDER
The tailgate lift cylinder utilizes a design that does not incorporate a cylinder piston, such as a typical cylinder would. This cylinder incorporates a hollow piston rod, to allow the hydraulic fluid to extend the rod by applying pressure to the inside of the rod. The rod is ported to allow hydraulic fluid to pass from the area between the rod and the case to inside the case. When the cylinder is being retracted, fluid is then allowed to pass through this porting from the inside of the rod to the area between the rod and the case. Therefore, the cylinder rod is protected in hydraulic fluid when retracted, greatly reducing the chances of damage by means of rust, corrosion, etc.
Visual inspection of the tailgate cylinders is the only leakage test necessary for this design cylinder. Check the cylinder rods for damage such as scratches, nicks, etc. If any external leakage is present, repair the cylinder as described under the removal and disassembly guidelines.

DESCRIPTION OF LEACH HYDRAULIC PUMP (203834)
The pump which serves the complete hydraulic system is a gear type, coupled to the PTO shaft through a yoke arrangement. It is usually mounted under the body near the front end, curb side. The Leach pump can run in either direction - clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The locations of the suction and pressure hoses are determined by the direction of rotation; it is therefore imperative to install hoses correctly.
