CHARGING
Charging
When charging the ED1500 the operator
must determine what power source is being
used on the work site 110V or 240V. If
in doubt, ask the supervisor. Both the
110V and the 240V charging cable has a
blue coupler, this is to be connected to the
ED1500 charging point rst and then the
remaining plug is plugged in to the power
source outlet socket. (Fig 24-26) Charging
the battery is covered in chapter 6 of the
Operator’s manual.
To ensure maximum performance and life of AGM battery. Charge the battery pack
fully before use.
STEERING & PARKING
Steering
The tiller head of the ED1500 can move from left to right as required when steering the
ED1500, this will turn the traction wheel in the direction desired. (Fig 27)

• The start key must be turned anticlockwise to
power off, and removed from the machine.
• The E-stop button must be pushed in to the off po-
sition, to further ensure isolation of the machine.
(Fig 14)
• The Safety arms and the Step should be put in the
retracted position.
• If parking for long periods of time, the ED1500
should be in a sheltered area or indoors.
• If parking on an incline, use the chock provided.
(Fig 35)
Greasing

TRANSPORTATION OF MACHINE
The ED1500 is easily transportable. The operator’s platform and side supports
can be folded down for ease of transportation.
WARNING!
When LOADING the ED1500 on a suitable vehicle ensure that the following points are
adhered to.
• Clean the ED1500 to reduce the hazard of dirt and debris falling from the machine
during transport.
• Conrm that the transport vehicle is serviceable for the transport task and that it is
rated to carry a Mass of 1.5 tons or 3306 Lbs
• Move the ED1500 slowly and follow directions from people assisting with loading
and alignment on the transport vehicle.
• Secure the ED1500 to the transporter using only the ED1500s anchor points.
WARNING!
When LIFTING the ED1500 on to a suitable transporter ensure that the following points
are adhered to.
• Conrm that the lifting device has adequate lifting capacity and reach to perform the
lifting operation.
• Clean the ED1500 to reduce the hazard of dirt and debris falling from the machine
during lifting.
• Use ONLY the lifting points as described in this chapter 8.3 to lift the ED1500.

13
LIFTING & ANCHOR POINTS
The unladed weight of the dumper is 1500kg /3306Lbs.
The ED1500 has two lifting points (Fig 28) and ve anchor points which are used to lift
and secure the machine when transporting. The two lifting points, as indicated below
are designed so that the machine can be lifted safely on to a suitable transporter. The
ve anchor points are designed to anchor the machine. The assigned lifting and
anchor points must be used in conjunction with approved straps or chains. At all times
in transportation the ED1500 must be anchored.
Lifting
When using the lifting eyes, it is advised
to use a “D” shackle Fig 29 to connect
securely to them, this gives easier safe
connection for the chain hook when lifting.
Fig 30.

Anchor
While being transported it is important to ensure the ED1500 does not move, the ve
anchor points provided should be used to best effect, front and back of the machine,
using certied slings and chains. See Fig 31-34.
