The convex portion shall have not less than 20 square inches of reflective area. The mirrors shall
have not less than two supports.
3.4.21 Engine hour meter. An engine hour meter having a totalizing mechanism of not
less than 9,999 hours shall be furnished for the chassis engine to register accurately the number
of hours of operating time. The meter shall be of rugged construction to assure continuous
trouble-free performance under severe operating conditions. The engine hour meter shall be
mounted on the cab instrument panel or in the engine compartment in a readable location.
3.5 Body. The body shall be of the side hopper loading, power compaction type. A
hydraulic lift attachment, a loading hopper, and mechanisms that deliver refuse from the hopper
into the body and compact the refuse shall be provided. Compacted refuse shall be discharged at
the rear either by dumping, or by horizontal load ejection. The operations shall be actuated
through selective controls and shall utilize power from the vehicle engine through the power
takeoff. The installation of the body on the chassis shall be subject to the approval of the chassis
manufacturer.
3.5.1 Construction. The body shall be of general welded construction, fabricated from
steel sheets or plates reinforced with steel shapes to withstand continuous operation at maximum
imposed loads without evidence of deformation or excessive wear of the body or its components.
The interior of the body shall have a smooth, cleanable finish, shall be free of pockets and
restrictions that might collect refuse, and shall be painted with a rust-inhibiting primer. The
body shall load and retain all refuse material, including ashes and liquid-saturated garbage,
without spillage or liquid leakage during both the refuse collection and the transport operations.
3.5.2 Hopper. The hopper shall be located directly behind the cab. The hopper shall have
a capacity of not less than 3 cubic yards. At least one side of the hopper shall be equipped with
an access door, to provide for container retrieval if necessary. The charging opening shall
accommodate the emptying of not less than a 90-gallon container.
3.5.3 Compacting. The compacting plate shall clear the hopper by pushing its contents
into the main cavity of the body. The plate shall not bypass refuse. Packing cycle shall be
continuous and shall allow for hopper loading during all phases of compaction.
3.5.3.1 Compaction density. The compaction system shall be capable of compacting
refuse to a density of not less than 650 pounds per cubic yard. This compaction density shall be
considered normal service, such that in frequent compaction to this density, the stress levels
required for long fatigue life of the vehicle are not exceeded.
