Loading:
The load rating is shown on the machine dataplate located at the lower right side of
the frame (relative to the push handle side) . It indicates the net capacity of both
the multi-purpose tote and the tote dumper. Injury to personnel or permanent
damage to the dumper or could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
The multi-purpose tote dumper is designed to transport and dump material from
our model MPT-1 ½ cubic yard polyethylene tote.
To load the tote onto the dumper, ensure that the carriage is in the fully lowered
position. Roll the higher side (the back side) of the tote up against the dumper’s
carriage, centered horizontally. The tote will be picked up automatically when the
carriage is raised.
Operation:
The dumper is supplied with a constant-pressure (dead-man) pushbutton control.
Pressing the “UP” pushbutton will turn on the power unit to raise the carriage. The
carriage will raise only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the
carriage will stop and hold its position. A limit switch will turn off the motor when
the carriage reaches its maximum rotation angle.
Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton will energize the lowering valve to allow the
carriage to descend. Again, releasing the control will stop the carriage movement,
and the unit will hold its position. Be certain no part of any person or object is
under any part of the carriage before lowering the unit.
In the event that the load exceeds the dumping capacity, the hydraulic system’s
relief valve will open and not allow the unit to lift.
Safety:
Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation.
Never use the dumper if it is in need of repairs or if it seems to be malfunctioning.
Use only with approved totes that are in good condition.
Notify maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary, such as odd
noises, erratic motion, or damage to any part of the lift or its components.
