WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read owner's manual completely before operating unit!

• The load must be removed from the chute and the chute

fully lowered before any work is preformed on the lift.

• For battery-powered units, review the additional warnings

included elsewhere in the manual.

• Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and

are legible. See the labels page in this manual.

• For non-portable units, the dumper's frame must be

securely anchored to the floor. See the installation

instructions.

• Do not use the dumper is any damage or unusual noise is

observed.

• Always watch the chute and the barrel carefully when the

dumper is in operation.

• The dumper is designed to be used for dumping fluid or

semifluid loads from open topped steel 55 gallon drums.

• Do not perform any modifications to the dumper without the

manufacturer's approval. Failure to receive authorization

for changes to the equipment could void the warranty.

• Maintenance and repairs are to be done only by personnel

qualified to perform the required work.

• Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system.

If oil is needed, use an antiwear hydraulic oil with a

viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @ 40°C). or

Dexron transmission fluid.

• Use only replacement parts either supplied or approved by

the manufacturer.

RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS - HDD LOADING: The drum dumper is designed for a fluid or semifluid load in an open-top steel 55 gallon drum. Insert the drum so it is against the back of the chute. Pull the drum clamp on each side up and over the rim of the drum to prevent the drum from sliding when dumped. The load rating is shown on the machine data plate located on the right-side upright frame channel (typically just above the push-button control hanger). It indicates the net capacity of the dumper.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY-POWERED UNITS WARNING! • Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. A battery exposition could result in loss of eyesight or serious burns. • Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries. Charge batteries in locations which are clean, dry, and wellventilated. Do not lay tools or anything metallic on top of any battery.

THE POWER UNIT'S OPERATION - HDD The electric / hydraulic drum dumper utilizes an electric motor directly coupled to a gear-type hydraulic pump to produce the needed fluid pressure and flow to allow the cylinders to perform the work of dumping a drum. A hydraulic manifold houses the hydraulic control components, and is bolted directly onto the gear pump. The power unit's hydraulic components are all rated for 3,000 psi working pressure. Important parts of the power unit included: • The electric motor.
PAGE 10
AIR BLEED INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPLACEMENT-STYLE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER When air enters the hydraulic cylinders of the lift, it can often cause undesirable effects. Some systems of air in the cylinders include: - jeriness or bounciness when operating the unit; - a delay before movement begins when the "UP" control (push-button or pedal) is pressed, and; - locking of the safety velocity fuse(s) in the lift cylinder(s) when the "DOWN" control (push-button or pedal) is pressed, which prevents the unit from lowering.
PAGE 11
HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM CAUTION! Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system. If oil is needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic fluid with an SUS viscosity of 150-200 at 100°F (SAE viscosity grade 32) or Dexron transmission fluid.
