INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Review this entire page before installing the dumper.
Consult the factory in the event there are questions or problems at the time of installation.
The installation must be made in compliance with all the regulations applicable to the machine and its location. The installer
must verify that the equipment is installed so it will be suited to the environment in which it will be used.
Installation must be performed by suitably trained personnel with access to the proper equipment. The electrical aspects of
the installation should be performed by an electrician.
For installation you will need the following:
1. A forklift.
2. Lag bolts, a masonry drill, a masonry bit a wrench to fit the lag bolt nuts, grout and steel shims. Consult the building's
architect or facility engineer to determine the best size and type of hardware with which to anchor the machine to the floor.
3. A power supply circuit matching the motor voltage and current requirements. Refer to the labels on the control
enclosure and the electrical section in this manual for more information. The end-user is responsible for supplying
the branch circuit's required overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
1. Move the dumper into place with a forklift.
2. Anchor the frame to the floor through the 5/8" holes in the tie-down brackets located near the corners of the frame.
3. Shim and/or grout under the full length of the frame sides.
4. Make the required power supply connection.
5. Operate the dumper through several full up / down cycles. Verify that the upper travel limit switch and the lower travel
limit switch (if applicable) function properly.
6. Check the hydraulic oil level. It should be filled to within 1" to 1-1/2" of the reservoir's fill hole. Refer to the hydraulic
section in this manual for more information.
7. Clean up any debris or spilled oil, and verify that all of the warning and safety labels are intact.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & SAFETY CHECKS
• Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures before beginning work.
• Fully lower the chute to the floor before beginning any inspection or work on the unit.
• Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices and their associated electrical and hydraulic circuits should be
attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipment.
(A) Before each use inspect for the following:
1. Frayed wires
2. Oil leaks
3. Pinched or chafed hoses
4. Damaged or loose hold-down tube or socket.
5. Damage or structural deformation to the structural members, the cylinder brackets, etc.
6. Unusual noise or binding, or evidence thereof.
7. Proper functioning of all limit switches.
(B) Monthly Inspections:
1.
The oil level. Oil should be 1" to 1-1/2" below the reservoir's fill hole with the chute fully tilted.
2. Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses and electrical wires.
3. Proper operation of the barrel hold-down clamps.
4. Pivot point wear at the hinge pins and cylinder ends.
5. Intact pin and clevis retaining rings and/or fasteners.
6. Frame anchor bolts' tightness, and for cracks in the concrete around them. (Stationary units only.)
7. Looseness, wear, or damage to the casters' bearings, mounting hardware, or surface material. (Portable units only.)
8. Proper water level in the battery. (DC units only)
9. Unusual noises.
10. Information and warning labels being in place and in good condition.
11. The need to clean off dirt and debris.
(C) Yearly Inspections
The oil should be changed if the oil darkens, becomes gritty, or turns a milky color (indicating the presence of water).
Replace with an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 cSt @ 40°C). Ex: AW-32 or HO
150 hydraulic fluid, or Dexron transmission fluid.
