Abstract
A refuse vehicle includes a chassis having a chassis frame member, a refuse collection body having a body frame member, and a battery mounted to the chassis frame member, and a body tie-down assembly. The body tie-down assembly includes a chassis mounting member, a body mounting member, a spring assembly, and a retainer plate. The body mounting member has brackets that define a cavity and retaining slots. The top member of the chassis mounting member may be received within the cavity defined by the brackets. The spring assembly includes a spring, a bolt, and a nut. The retainer plate includes a slot. The bolt further extends through a top member of the chassis mounting member and the slot of the retainer plate and receives the nut. The bolt is received within the retaining slots during removal of the bolt to prohibit the bolt from coming in contact with the battery.
