SAFETY
CAUTION:
➢Do not operate waste truck packing blade while the tipper is in the dump orraised position.
The packing blade may damage the waste cart tipper.
➢Do not cover the brake/safety/indicator lights on the vehicle with the mounting plate, the
tipper unit itself, or any other related hardware.
➢Safe working procedures must be followed at all times. Always wear correct safety gear.
➢Follow OSHA Lockout/Tagout procedures during all installation, repair, or maintenance.
➢Inspect operation of waste cart tipper daily before starting route.
➢Ensure all persons are clear of waste cart tipper before and during operation.
➢Never operate a damaged waste cart tipper.
➢Never reach into a waste container or place hands or arms in harm’s way during operation.
➢Never lift damaged carts with missing or broken parts.
➢Never lift an overloaded cart.
➢Never use waste cart tipper to lift items other than properly designated carts.
➢Never loosen any hydraulic fittings or hoses unless the system is off and depressurized.
➢Never weld on truck unless a ground is in place, the battery is disconnected, and no
flammable objects are present.
➢Do not remove the stop fasteners. They serve a functional purpose to limit the rotation of
the actuator and extend service life.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1.) Please read this manual completely and familiarize yourself with all of the necessary
procedures. Contact Micromatic LLC at [phone], ext. 3211, if there is a question.
2.) To install the waste cart tipper onto the truck to the installation dimensions stated in this
service manual requires an empty truck parked on a smooth and level surface.
3.) Waste cart tippers can weigh over 300 pounds. During installation, always use a hoist to
lift and secure the lifters into place and to prevent accidents.
4.) During installation, secure the waste cart tipper with a chain or suitable lifting strap to
prevent accidents.
5.) Reference 26-18-1001 for the waste tipper hydraulic tap-in kit user manual.

TIPPER DIMENSIONS –SHOWN IN THREE (3) POSITIONS
➢Each waste cart manufacturer has slightly different dimensions for contact points.
➢When carrying out tipper installation onto truck, account for height changing when
the truck is in loaded and unloaded conditions. Expect approximately 1” of sag.
➢During installation, verify operation throughout full range of motion and ensure
waste cart is securely retained during the dump cycle and released when dropped
to the ground. If necessary, adjust the lifting saddle, arm position, and/or position
of tipper on the truck.
Recommend temporary mounting and performing a test
fit and can pick up before fully welding mounting plate
into place.
Note: Be sure and account for chassis sag when loaded.

INSTALLATION:
WELDING PLATE FOR MOUNTING
A010240 includes welding plate
NOTES:
➢It is recommended to temporarilytack the mounting weld plate into position enough
to support the weight of the tipper and then perform a trial pick up and dump cycle
to confirm operation is proper.
➢Welding plate mounting should be backed up by a rigid structure strong enough to
support the tipper and loading. It is okay for the plate to extend above truck sill.
oIf necessary, weld supplemental structure for additional plate support.
➢Stud threads require ½-13 UNC grade 8 nuts to mount tipper to weld plate.
oRecommended installation torque: 60 ft-lb with thread lock applied.
➢Proper mounting distance from ground required to ensure proper function.
➢WARNING: Never weld on truck unless a ground is in place, the battery is
disconnected, and no flammable objects are present.
➢WARNING: A flow control device MUST be used to control the flow of hydraulic
fluid which affects the speed of the actuator. Running without a flow control device
can be dangerous and lead to damage to the tipper and waste can.
oRecommended speed is a cycle of 6-8 seconds.
oMicromatic sells a flow control –see Service Parts section.
➢WARNING: The hydraulic plumbing MUST have a pressure relief valve installed
in the hydraulic circuit on the actuator pressure lines to protect the actuator from
damage from pressure spikes.

TIPPER MOUNTING OPTIONS
The standard tipper base mounting plate is equipped with one mounting pattern:
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
➢Pivot joints are equipped with six (6) easy access grease zerk fittings.
➢Main pivot joints should be greased monthly to flush contaminates from pivot joint.
Inspection Prior to Each Use
➢Fasteners should be inspected to ensure all are in place and tight –See Torques below.
➢Stop bolts serve a functional purpose to limit the rotation of the actuator. Make sure they
are in place and do NOT remove them.
➢Inspect all welds for cracks and repair or replace as necessary.
➢Hydraulic oil and oil filter on the waste truck should be checked periodically and changed
according to the manufacturer-recommended intervals.
