SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING LABELS

PAGE 2 OF 3 0515 IH-2108
NOTE: The end user is responsible for ensuring
that all employees involved in the operation
of this hopper understand and follow these
instructions!
Self-dumping hoppers are suitable for use indoors and
outdoors in most common industrial and commercial
locations. They are intended to be used in conjunction
with a rider fork truck to dump non-hazardous refuse into
typical refuse containers.
Dumper is a self-dumping hopper having a 70° dump
angle. It is operated by a release cable held by the fork
truck driver.
NOTE: OSHA 29CFR, Chapter XVII, Part 1910.178
(a)(4) states, “Modifications and additions
which affect capacity and safe operation (of
a fork truck) shall not be performed by the
customer or user without manufacturer’s prior
written approval. Capacity, operation and
maintenance instruction plates, tags or decals
shall be changed accordingly. And 1910.178
(a)(5) states that “If (a fork) truck is equipped
with front-end attachments other than factory
installed attachments, the user shall request
that the truck be marked to identify the
attachments and show the approximate weight
of the truck and attachment combination
at maximum elevation with load laterally
centered.”
LOADING
The load rating, in pounds, is shown on the dumper’s ca-
pacity label located on the rear (fork truck side) of the
hopper.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of sustaining
serious personal injuries:
• Verify that the dumper is locked in the fully
upright position before loading the hopper.
• Do not exceed the dumper’s (and if portable,
its casters’) load ratings or fill the hopper
above the top of the hopper’s sides. Injury
to personnel or permanent damage to the
equipment could result from overloading.
OPERATION
WARNING! To minimize the risk to yourself and
others, always carefully watch the hopper and
its load when transporting or emptying it.
1. From the rear of the dumper, insert the fork truck’s
forks into the dumper’s fork pockets. The fork truck’s
forks are to be inserted completely.
2. Secure the dumper to the fork truck’s fork carriage
with the attached safety restraint. Wrap the restraint
around a part of the fork carriage and attach the
chain’s snap hook to the chain (through one of the
chain links) with as little slack as possible.
3. Place the release cable within reach of the fork
truck driver in preparation for dumping.
4. Move the front of the dumper into position at the
side of the dumpster or refuse container.
5. Lift and tilt the fork truck mast forward until the
dumper is at the appropriate height to allow the
front of its frame to make contact with the top of the
container’s side.
NOTE: Allow clearance for the hopper to
completely rotate forward without contacting
any obstructions.
WARNING! Keep all personnel clear of the
dumper and the dumping area before
releasing the hopper.
6. The release cable can be pulled from the fork truck
operator’s position.
WARNING! Never wrap the dumper’s release
cable around any body part.
7. Tilt the fork truck mast back, then back away from
the refuse container and slowly lower the dumper.
Dumper will automatically rotate backward and
lock in the upright position.
WARNING! Never use the dumper if any
damage or unusual motion is observed, if
it is in need of repairs, or if it seems to be
malfunctioning.
Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you
notice anything out of the ordinary.
Ensure all safety and warning labels stay in place and
are legible. Refer to the warning labels section.
