1Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to introduce operators
to the operational procedures for the MINIMAXTM. For
information regarding maintenance procedures
related to this product, please refer to the MINIMAXTM
maintenance manual.
After thoroughly reading this manual, the operator
should be able to perform all the necessary tasks
required to properly operate the MINIMAXTM. ALL
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
MANUAL (SAFETY PROCEDURES,
WARNINGS, CAUTION MESSAGES) IS TO BE
COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD BY THE
OPERATOR BEFORE OPERATING THE
MINIMAXTM.
Introducing the MINIMAXTM
The MINIMAXTM is a side-loading refuse truck to be
operated by only one person. It is designed primarily
for the automatic collection of garbage carts with the
use of a joystick-controlled Helping HandTM arm. The
lifting capacity of this arm is 450 lbs at a maximum
reach of 60 inches. On some units, a tipper may also be
installed.
Product Overview
On most MINIMAXTM units, a Helping HandTM arm is
installed on the right-hand side of the body. This arm
has “close grab” capability, allowing the operator to
pick up a cart within 12 inches from the side of the
vehicle with no “swing out” movement.

2Introduction
The MINIMAXTM is composed of a small curved wall body with a capacity of 10 cubic yards and a
2cubic yard tailgate, making the total loading capacity of the vehicle to 12 cubic yards.
Figure 1-2
Tailgate
The hopper swept volume is 0.92 cubic yard, using an 18-inch packer, which is also used to unload
the body through the tailgate opening. This feature is called the “Auto-Eject Mode”.
Figure 1-3
Packer
The standard packer cycle time is 15 seconds at 1200 RPM, and the “Auto-Eject Mode” cycle takes
40 seconds at 1200 RPM.
The hopper can also be equipped with a full-size crusher panel (optional). It also features a hinged
door on the left-hand side and 1 or 2 hinged doors on the right-hand side (2 doors if an automated
arm is installed).
