Failure to comply with the lockout procedure may result
in severe injury or death and/or damage to equipment.
LOCKOUT GUIDELINE
(Required By Safety Standards)
The purpose of a Lockout Procedure is to recognize,
isolate, and render safe all types of energy sources.
The Lockout Procedure should establish performance
habits which protect all personnel from injury while
they are in, on, or around the equipment during repair,
maintenance, and other associated activities.
Compliance and enforcement of a Lockout Procedure
is the responsibility of the owner and operator. The
following information provides a guideline for creating
a Lockout Procedure. A detailed documented program
must be established to fit each situation and condition.
1. Observe and review all conditions of the
equipment. All sources of stored energy must be
recognized, managed, and cautiously released by
qualified personnel. Examples:
• Shut down truck engines and any auxiliary
engines.
• Disengage power take-off systems.
• Relieve stored hydraulic or pneumatic pressure
after installing any blocking devices.
• Relieve all entrapped hydraulic pressure.
2. Remove the key from the vehicle ignition.
3. Notify all affected individuals that they must
comply with the Lockout Procedure.
4. Tag all controls to inform personnel that the
equipment is “under repair,” “do not operate,”
or whatever the situation dictates. All affected
personnel must be informed of the meaning and
appearance of the Lockout Tag.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCKOUT TAG:
• Tags must be made of a material capable of
withstanding the environment to which they are
exposed. Examples: oil, grease, fuel, etc.
• Tags must be easily recognizable and clearly
visible at the location of the operating controls.
• Tags must be standardized using one or more
of the following criteria: color, shape, size, and/
or format.
5. Only authorized individuals should release the
equipment for use after repairs have been made.
6. Periodic inspections should be done by the owner
to verify the correct use and compliance with the
Lockout Procedure.
NOTE: Other procedures and responsibilities may be
associated with the Lockout Procedure as dictated by
the uniqueness of each situation and any applicable
standards and/or codes.
Please note that the guidelines listed above are
intended to create an awareness of the necessity for a
“Lockout/Tagout Procedure.” The owner should obtain
a current copy of the following references:
• ANSI Z244.1
• Federal Code Of Regulations Title 29 Part 1910
Section 1910.147
The Federal Code Of Regulations may be accessed
via the Internet at the National Archives and Records
Administration website at:
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/
It is ultimately the owner’s responsibility to establish,
train for, and oversee the implementation of all lockout/
tagout procedures.
WARNING

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Always observe the following precautions:
• Do not use chains to hook onto any container, as
the hoist has the power to break most chains.
• Never adjust the hydraulic pressure setting without
using an accurate working pressure gauge placed
in the system on the pressure side of the main
hydraulic control valve. NOTE: Do not set the
pressure to exceed pressures shown on the
hydraulic schematic.
• Operate one control at a time. The control valve
is not designed to operate two or more functions
simultaneously.
• Do not alter the hydraulic valves or the hydraulic
system in any way without prior approval in writing
from the manufacturer.
• Never use a locking device to hold a control handle
or a valve open, as the valves are designed to
return to the center when released, allowing a
complete stop of movement.
• Check the cable for excessive wear and replace
as needed. Cable manufacturer recommends
changing cable once a year or sooner depending on
working conditions or environmental factors.
NOTE: Change all cable clamps when replacing
the cable.
• Observe and obey all caution and warning decals
on both hoist and containers.
• Always power the hoist down. Do not let the
hoist drift down with the Power Take Off (PTO)
disengaged. This may cause air infiltration into the
hydraulic system. Damage to the pump may occur.
• Never drive the truck with the PTO engaged.
• Never drive the truck with the hoist in any position
other than fully down.
• Hydraulic oil warm up is required in very cold
weather. Engage PTO and let the truck idle for
several minutes.
• Never allow anyone to work on the hoist in the
raised position without the safety props in place
to prevent it from lowering. The safety props
are designed and constructed to be used in
conjunction with other safety mechanisms on the
truck, in particular the hydraulic cylinders. Do not
use the safety props on their own at any time –
especially while personnel are working under or
around the hoist.
• Never move the truck unless the container and
hoist hold-downs are engaged.
• Never move a truck with the container loaded
unless the hoist is down in the over-the-road
travel position. If the unit is equipped with a rear
stabilizer, it must be raised off the ground before
moving the truck.
• Always drive slowly over rough and bumpy roads
to prevent excessive stress on the equipment.
Operate the equipment smoothly and slowly.
• Always operate the roll-off within its rated capacity
and follow the suggested maintenance and
lubrication program.

LOADING PROCEDURE
These instructions are intended to promote efficient
and proper operation. They do not cover every
possible situation that can occur when operating the
equipment.
1. Align the hoist rails with the long sills on the
container and back the truck as squarely as
possible to the container. Allow 3 - 4 feet between
the container and hoist (allow 8 - 9 feet for
extendable tail models). Put the transmission in
neutral and engage the PTO. Fully extend the tail
on extendable tail models.
2. Raise the hoist until the tail touches the ground.
(NOTE: Do not allow the hoist tail to lift the truck
up by raising the hoist after the tail is touching
the ground.)
3. Set truck brakes. Retract the winch cylinder and
connect the cable to the container hook.
4. Release truck brakes. Pull the container onto the
hoist allowing the truck to roll under the container.
Before operating the equipment:
1. Be sure the area is clear.
2. Check the area for low power lines or any other
obstacle which may interfere with hoist operation.
3. Never operate equipment which is damaged and/or
improperly maintained.
4. Always operate the equipment within its rated
capacity.
5. Study this entire manual and become properly
trained with this equipment before attempting to
operate it.
Failure to follow the procedures listed above may result
in severe injury or death and/or damage to equipment.
WARNING
Check to be sure the cable connection is securely
attached and in good condition.
A cable breaking or releasing under tension could
result in severe injury or death to the operator and/or
bystanders.
WARNING

5. Continue pulling the container onto the hoist. After
the container front rollers are ahead of the hoist
rear hinge point, lower the hoist enough to keep
the container long sills and hoist rails in line and
even with one another.
NOTE: Container front roller ahead of hoist rear
hinge point.
Lower the hoist when the center of gravity of the

6. In addition to the front stops, container and hoist
should always have a rear container hold-down
device. Disengage PTO and relieve all pressure in
the system before driving away. Fully retract the
tail before departing for all extended tail models.
DUMPING PROCEDURE
Review the following guidelines to perform the
dumping operation. These items do not cover every
possible situation which may occur, but are intended
to promote proper operation when combined with safe
work habits and common sense.
1. Examine the dump site. The area should be level,
solid, and clear of obstacles. Check for overhead
clearances such as power lines.
2. With hoist and container in the down position, open
the tailgate and secure the door in the open position
using the chain provided on the container door.
Engage PTO and raise hoist until load slides out.
Before raising the hoist, check both sides and rear of
the hoist for personnel. Do not raise the hoist if anyone
is close enough to be hit should the hoist tip over. Also,
check for any personnel that may be heading into the
area during the dumping operation. Failure to follow
these procedures may result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
The container and hoist must be equipped with the
proper front stops and rear hold-downs. The container
specifications must match the hoist specifications.
(Example: roller size and location, proper style hook
up, spacing between long sills, etc.). The container and
hoist must be in good working order. Failure to comply
with these requirements could result in serious injury
to persons and/or damage to equipment, and is the
operator/owner’s responsibility.
In the event that all of the load is not discharged or it
becomes necessary to move the unit forward, lower the
hoist and container to the full down or travel position
prior to any forward movement of the truck. Always
keep the tires properly and evenly inflated.
NOTICE
WARNING

UNLOADING PROCEDURE
1. Set truck brakes.
2. Raise the hoist high enough to allow the container
to move rearward.
3. Lower the container.
4. Release the truck brakes. Continue lowering the
container allowing the truck to roll out from under
the container.
CONTAINER POSITIONING
CORRECT CONTAINER POSITIONING
** Center of Gravity is approximately 10-12% of wheel

CABLE POSITION
When operating your hoist, make sure the cable runs
straight down the center of the hoist.
Be careful not to have the cable looped on the
outboard side of the rear hold-down as illustrated.
Always pull cable up center of hoist. Never allow
the cable to be pulled over the side of hoist
when winching on, as this can cause the cable to
destroy itself or damage the front sheave. Injury to
the operator and/or bystanders could result if the
cable breaks and snaps back around to the truck
cab area.
CAUTION

PINTLE HOOK APPLICATIONS
• Before operating the equipment, inspect for worn,
damaged, or missing parts. Inspect the entire
pintle hook and the area where it is mounted to the
truck for cracks, bends, or any damage. Repair and/
or replace the equipment before using.
• The towing vehicle on which the pintle hook is
mounted must be of a sufficient rated capacity for
the trailer and in proper working condition.
• The truck air system must be equipped with an air
dryer to prevent dirt and moisture from getting into
the air valves.
• The trailer must have retaining cables or chains
hooked to an attachment capable of holding the
trailer should a detachment occur.
• Never jack-knife the trailer for any reason when
dumping, loading, unloading or backing. Always
keep the trailer and truck in a straight line. Jack-
knifing the trailer can cause damage to the pintle
hook and/or trailer tongue.
• Before moving any trailer, make all necessary
connections, including the service and emergency
air lines and electrical hookup.
• Always drive the equipment slowly over rough
and bumpy roads. Always operate the equipment
smoothly and carefully.
• Never exceed the capacity of the pintle hook and/
or any equipment being used.
• Be particularly careful not to damage the pintle
hook when coupling and uncoupling the trailer.
OPERATION
Questions? www.galbreathproducts.com 1-800-285-0666 [email protected]
14
The bouncing of the truck suspension is carried
backwards to the pintle hook. The pintle hook
then becomes a moving force with the impact of
a large hammer upward and downward on the
trailer tongue eye causing abuse to equipment.
Always drive at reduced speeds over rough terrain
to minimize this destructive action.
NOTICE
The air pressure must be allowed to build up in
the trailer’s air reservoir tank(s) before you move
the equipment. When the air pressure has built up,
check the trailer brakes to ensure proper working
condition. If trailer brakes are not in proper working
condition, an accident can occur, causing injury to
the operator and/or other drivers.
CAUTION
Applying the brakes severely increases the weight
transferred to the trailer tongue on trailers without
front axles. Therefore, products that can shift, such
as sludge, water, etc., must never be transported
by this type of trailer. Failure to comply can result
in injury.

MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION TO MAINTENANCE
Maintenance begins with the purchase and use of the
correct hoist properly designed for the application.
Trained, qualified, and competent personnel should
perform all operation, inspections, service, and
maintenance.
Galbreath strongly urges each owner/operator to set up
a “Preventive Maintenance Program” that will provide
timely inspection, servicing, and repair of their hoist
and its components. The purpose of this program is to
provide safe operation and maximize the service life of
the equipment.
NOTE:The suggested preventative maintenance
inspection and time intervals may need to be
adjusted due to factors such as: severe or heavy
usage, muddy or dusty environments, special
applications, and warranty and maintenance history
issues.
QUICK REFERENCE
These inspections are intended to verify that the hoist
and its components are in the proper safe operating
condition and are within normal wear guidelines. If
there are any items that do not pass your inspection,
notify the responsible party. A lockout tag must
then be placed on the equipment as outlined in the
“Lockout Procedure Guideline” section of this manual.
Daily Inspections:
• Back-up and hoist-up warning systems
• Cable and cable ends
• Electrical wiring
• Front and rear stops
• Hydraulic and air leaks

FLUSHING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. Shut the gate valve, located on the oil tank, close
the valve by turning the handle 90˚ clockwise to the
off position. Remove the suction line at the gate
valve and drain oil from tank using the gate valve
to regulate the flow.
2. Once all oil has drained out, remove the suction strainer
which is located in the tank, on the line that has the
gate valve.
With the strainer out, clean with a solvent by flowing
the solvent from the inside of the strainer out. After
cleaning, check that relief valve in the end of the strainer
is operational. It should push inwards with about three (3)
pounds of pressure.
3. To service the return filter, remove the four bolts on
top of the filter canister.
4. Remove the return filter and replace it with a new filter.
DO NOT REUSE THE OLD RETURN FILTER. Reinstall
return filter and suction strainer using appropriate
thread sealant and/or “O” rings. Check the “O” rings
for nicks or cuts before reinstalling. Also reinstall the
suction hose to the gate valve. OPEN GATE VALVE
(COUNTERCLOCKWISE) FULLY.
5. Remove the four bolts near the bottom of the filter
canister. Inspect inside the tank for contaminants.
6. Remove the 3/4” magnetic plug found on the bottom
side of the tank. Metal debris found in the oil will
attach to the plug. Clean the plug of debris.
Before starting the following procedures, make sure
that all hydraulic cylinders are completely retracted.
