What happens here

The presenter continues with Todd, focusing on how the specialized LC450H compactor differs from a regular payloader. Todd explains the purpose of the 'striker bars' located near the wheels, which clean material from the wheels to prevent buildup. He highlights the centralized 'bank' of greasing points for easy maintenance. The steering cylinder is positioned high to keep it out of garbage and all components are closed off to prevent debris from entering. Todd also points out the fire suppression system, the automatic reversible cooling fan for the radiator, and the fully protected rear lights and tow hitch, which is integrated to prevent damage. They emphasize the importance of these robust features in the harsh, dirty, and dusty landfill environment, where radiators can quickly clog.

think I know what I want to do anyway how does this machine then differ from a regular pay loader besides these compactor tires in this blade it's really the purpose is to do compaction and also distribute the material but it's significantly heavier underneath the bottom side and front frame rear frame there's thick guarding [Music] balli pans 2-inch thick pieces of steel there to help protect the center pin from wearing over time there's pans up underneath thick hands up underneath that help to protect against anything puncturing from below they also swing down for service to service the transmission and the fuel tank to death tank on this side you can see the air intake for the engine is up high okay so what are the things that I you know in this application it's dusty it's dirty it's nasty how do you guys handle that for the radiator because I know I've been in up before where the radiator plugs up pretty fast for sure it has an automatic reversing fan the coolers swing out so that you can easily clean them if you do need to go this is the heavy duty guard here to protect anything from the rear little things I've noticed your flush mount your pen your pen right here is not sticking out at the back because I've seen so many times where it's mounted out the back and then somebody backs into something and now it's bent and twisted it's also captured so it can't come out so you can't lose what so you lift that up how do you get that out you never get that out or get that out what if you like bust that thing and get a get into an end I don't think okay anybody amber pastelon you called Todd at 8 6 7-5 309 I want to go up into the camp I got to check out the cab I'll take you guys with me right here we're gonna go in the cab push the button there the door opens up for you very cool if for some reason the battery dies or something like that in the system at the manuals all right all right can you turn this bright shining light off and that I can't it's making me blind where are you Todd I can't see ya Todd where'd you go so that lights on whenever the battery disconnect is on and that's on purpose wait a minute what so that light stays on as long as the machine has power oh oh okay okay okay so when you shut the battery disconnect the shut off that way that way dumpster is this that batteries you know
