INSTALLING THE DRUM DUMPER
NOTE: Only Applies to Stationary Units HLD-94-10-S, HLD-94-15-S, HLD-116-10-S, HLD-116-15-S.
Responsibility for complying with local building code requirements, municipal/county ordinances,
state OSHA requirements, etc. rests exclusively with the end-user. The instructions that appear below are
recommendations about essential, minimum steps necessary for safe installation. If law enforced where
the dumper is used requires you to depart from these directions, Vestil is not responsible for any
consequential damages sustained as a result of the installation.
Installation requires the following equipment, tools, and materials:
•Forklift rated for loads equal to the net weight of your HLD model. See Specifications document
•Lag bolts: ½ in. by at least 4in. (length) [approximately equivalent to 1.3cm by at least 10.2cm]
•Masonry drill and ½ in. masonry drill bit
•Wrench: ½ in.
•Grout and steel shims
•Power supply circuit matched to motor voltage and current requirements
NOTE: The end-user is responsible for providing over-current and short circuit protection. Refer to the
appropriate ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DIAGRAM on p. 10-12.
Step 1: Position the dumper as desired with a forklift.
Step 2: Drill holes approximately 4in. (10cm) deep.
Step 3: Secure the dumper to the floor by
inserting the lag bolts through the (5/8 in.) bolt
holes in the anchor brackets (dotted lines in
FIG. 1).
Step 4: Shim and/or grout the sides of the
frame.
Step 5: Connect the power cord to the power
supply.
Step 6: Read the OPERATING THE DRUM
DUMPER section of this manual on p. 5. Then,
cycle the dumper all the way up and back
down. Press the LIFT RAISE button of the hand
controller until the chute reaches its maximum
elevation. Then, press the TILT RAISE button
until the chute tilts as far as it can. Return the
chute to the upright position by pressing the
TILT LOWER button. Lower the chute to the
home position by pressing the LIFT LOWER
button.
Step 7: Check the oil level in the reservoir. Fully raise the chute (to the 45°) “dumping position,” and then
observe the level of oil in the reservoir. The surface of the oil should be 1 to 1½ inches below the fill hole.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Before putting the unit into service, record its condition. Thoroughly photograph the unit from
multiple angles. Include close range photographs of the drum clamps, pivot points, labeling, the chute,
frame elements, and casters/wheels (HLD-##-##-P units) or floor anchoring sites (HLD-##-##-S
stationary units). Use the handheld controller to raise and lower, and tilt and un-tilt the chute. Describe
the motion of the chute, e.g. smooth and at a constant rate, as well as sounds produced by the power
unit, the frame, and at pivot points. Remove the cover of the power unit and photograph the internal
components. Collect all photographs and writings into a single file. This file is a record of the unit in
satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all INSPECTIONS to this record to determine whether the
unit is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the dumper unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely
cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powdercoat, do not constitute changes from satisfactory
condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs
to prevent rusting and/or corrosion from occurring.

OPERATING THE DRUM DUMPER (ALL MODELS)
Load the chute.
1. Place the drum in the chute: The drum
should rest against the back of the chute.
NOTE: Use only properly sized drums: HLD’s are
designed to dump open-top drums. Drum width
and height must be such that both drum clamps
can securely engage the lip of the drum. See
Fig.’s 2A and 2B.
2. Secure the drum to the chute with the
clamps: Adjust the position of the clamps on
the clamp rails to match the height of the
drum. Press down on the end of a clamp
spring. See Fig. 2B. Rotate the clamps until the
lip hooks are inside the drum. Press the clamps
down until they solidly contact the top of the
drum.Rotate the clamps so that the lip hooks
press against the inside of the drum lip.
3. Dump the container:
NOTE: Apply BOTH floor locks of portable
units BEFORE operating the chute.
a) Adjust the height of the chute/drum to
the height of the waste receptacle that
will receive the trash from the drum. To
raise the chute without tilting it, press the
RAISE LIFT portion of 4-point controller
button. See FIGS. 3A, 3B. The cylinders will
extend and elevate the chute only while
the operator continues to press the
button. The chute will maintain position
once the button is released.
b) To tilt the chute and dump the
contents of the drum, press the RAISE TILT
button to raise the chute to the dumping
position. The cylinders will extend and
raise the chute only while the operator
continues to press the button. The chute
will maintain its position as of the instant
the button is released.
NOTE: If the net weight of the drum and
its contents exceeds the maximum rated
load of the dumper, a relief valve
(incorporated into the hydraulic system)
will open. While the relief valve is open,
the hydraulic cylinders will not extend,
and therefore the chute will not be able
to elevate or dump.
4. Return the chute to the loading
position: press the LOWER TILT button on
the controller to return the chute to the
home position; then press the LOWER LIFT
to lower the chute to the loading
position.
5. Remove the emptied drum from the
chute.

INSPECTIONS
Regular maintenance is essential for maximizing the service life of this product. Compare all inspection
results to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION discussed on p. 4. Only use the drum dumper if it is in
satisfactory condition. If an inspection reveals any changes from satisfactory condition, complete all
repairs before returning the dumper to service. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
DON’T GUESS! Contact TECHNICAL SERVICE if you have questions that are not addressed in these
instructions or if you are uncertain how to address an issue discovered during an inspection. Technical
Service can be contacted by calling [phone] and asking for the Service and Parts Department or
by submitting your questions through Vestil’s online parts and service portal at
https://www.vestil.com/page-parts-request.php.
Before each use,inspect:
1. Wires: Look for damaged sheathing; exposed wire.
2. Hydraulic system: Check the oil tank and tubing/hoses for punctures, cuts, leaks.
3. Drum clamps: Inspect for damage such as deformation, looseness of fit, etc.
4. Frame: Check the cylinder brackets (elements
welded to the frame to which the top and bottom
of a cylinder are bolted/pinned), vertical and
horizontal frame members, horizontal cross-
member, and angle cross member, hinge blocks,
and pivot shaft and spacer assemblies for
cracking, deformation and corrosion.
5. Vertical lift limit switches: Press the LIFT RAISE
button. The motor should stop as soon as the chute
reaches maximum elevation. Press the LIFT LOWER
button. The motor should turn off when the chute
returns to home position.
6. Dump angle limit switches: Verify satisfactory
function. The chute should not rotate more than:
Stationary [-S] units: 45 degrees
Mobile [-P] units: 40 degrees
7. Listen to the unit as it operates for unusual
sounds e.g. grinding or popping, during operation.
Watch for jerky movements. Contact
maintenance personnel if you observe any
unusual sound or movement and do not use the
dumper until approved for service.
At least once per month, inspect the dumper as follows:
1. Oil level: Elevate and tilt the chute to dumping position; then observe the level of oil in the reservoir. The
surface of the oil should be 1 to 1½ inches below the fill hole.
2. Pivot points: check the dumper for excessive wear at the pivot points between hydraulic cylinders and
cylinder brackets, and between pivot shafts and hinge blocks;
3. Floor connection points: anchor bolts should prevent the frame from lifting off the ground during chute
operation. Concrete around each anchor bolt should be intact—no cracking or flaking;
4. Fasteners: check each fastener connection. Tighten all loose connections;
5. Hoses and wires: check each wire and hose for damage (fraying, binding, etc.);
6. Labels: labels should be easily readable and undamaged, affixed to the dumper in the locations as
shown in FIG. 8on p. 13.
7. Drum clamps and springs: Inspect the clamps and clamp springs for damage deformation, looseness
of fit. See FIG. 2A & 2B on p. 5. If a clamp cannot remain securely in place because the spring allows the
clamp to slide down the clamp rail, then the clamp will not prevent a drum from sliding out of the chute.
DO NOT use the drum dumper until the clamp springs have been replaced.
At least once per year, change the hydraulic oil if it becomes gritty or looks milky. Milky appearance is
caused by water in the oil. With the chute in the home position, drain the oil and replace it with either
Dexron transmission fluid or anti-wear hydraulic oil, viscosity grade 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 cSt at 40°C).

POWER UNIT OPERATION
An electric motor directly coupled to a gear pump pressurizes the hydraulic system. Fluid pressure
causes the lift and tilt cylinders to extend and retract. Cylinder movement performs the work required to
raise and lower, and tilt and un-tilt the chute. A hydraulic manifold bolted directly onto the gear pump
houses the hydraulic control components; each component is rated for 3,000psi working pressure.
Important components of the power unit include:
•Electric motor: Motor voltage and phase (single or 3-phase) was selected at the time this unit was
ordered. Every motor is dual-voltage capable.
•Gear pump: The pump shaft is coupled directly to the shaft of the electric motor. Several
displacements are available that vary with the horsepower of the motor selected.
•Check valve: Prevents backflow of fluid through the pump. Allows the chute maintain position while the
motor is inactive (no signal from the handheld controller).
•Pressure relief valve: While open, the valve provides a path for oil to return to the reservoir. The valve
opens if hydraulic pressure exceeds 3,000psi.
•Lowering solenoid valve: An electrically-operated cartridge valve with an integral screen to keep
contaminants from entering the valve.
•Pressure compensated flow control spool: The spool is located beneath the lowering valve. It governs
the retraction rate of the cylinders and, therefore, the lowering rate of the drum chute. This component
allows the chute to lower at a constant rate regardless of the weight of the drum and its contents.
•Hydraulic cylinders: Displacement style cylinders lift and tilt the chute. Each cylinder includes an integral
bleeder valve located at top end. The valve is used to remove air from the hydraulic system.
•Velocity fuse: Safety device that prevents the flow of oil out of a cylinder if system pressure is disrupted.
A cylinder cannot retract until its velocity fuse is deactivated, i.e. by repressuring the system.
•Hydraulic fluid: HO150 hydraulic fluid. To replenish the fluid, add anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity
grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) like AW-32 or Dexron transmission fluid.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Elevate the chute by pressing the RAISE LIFT button of the 4-point controller button. See FIGS. 3A & 3B,
p. 5. In response to the signal from the controller, the motor turns and spins the gear pump. Oil flows out
of the reservoir, through the suction filter and into the pump.
•The pump propels oil through the check valve to the lift cylinder (99-021-912-001 or 99-021-913-001 in the
applicable exploded view).
•An upper travel limit switch turns off the motor when the chute reaches a preset elevation.
•Releasing the RAISE LIFT button immediately halts chute movement. The chute maintains position until a
control button is pressed.
To lower the chute, press the LOWER LIFT button.
•Lowering valve opens and allows oil from the cylinders to bypass the check valve. Oil flows out of the
cylinders to the reservoir through return hoses.
•Releasing the LOWER LIFT button during operation causes all downward movement to stop. The chute
will remain in the same position until a control button is pressed.
To tilt the chute, press the RAISE TILT button. The motor turns and spins the gear pump. Oil is drawn from
the reservoir, through the suction filter and into the pump.
•Pressurized oil flows through the check valve to the tilt cylinder (99-021-909-001 in FIGS. 9-12).
•Releasing the RAISE TILT button during operation immediately halts all chute movement.
•Additionally, an upper travel limit switch automatically turns off the motor when the chute reaches a
preset 40° (mobile units) or 45° (stationary/bolt-down) tilt angle.
To un-tilt the chute, press the “LOWER TILT” button.
•Lowering valve opens and bypasses the check valve, which allows oil in the cylinders to flow to the
reservoir (through return hoses).
•Releasing the LOWER TILT button during operation causes all chute rotation to stop.The chute will
remain in the same position until you press the LOWER TILT button again and allow it to rotate back to
the vertical orientation.
OPERATION ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
If the chute slowly un-tilts without pressing the LOWER TILT button, or if the chute lowers without pressing
the LOWER LIFT button, the lowering cartridge valve of the affected cylinder should be removed,
inspected, and cleaned.
1. Press the LOWER TILT button until the chute is in home position (lower the chute completely).

Table of Contents 2/4/2022 HLD MANUAL
Table of Contents Copyright 2010 Vestil Manufacturing Corp. Page 8 of 19
2. Disconnect electrical power to the equipment.
3. If loaded, remove the load from the chute.
4. For either the tilt cylinder (99-021-909-01) or the lift cylinder (99-021-912-001 or 99-021-913-001), remove the
valve retaining nut that fastens the solenoid coil to the valve stem, and then unscrew the valve from the
manifold.
NOTE: The end of the valve threads into the manifold and therefore will not be visible until the valve is
unwound from the manifold.
5. Inspect the outside of the valve. Look for debris inside of the valve cavity in the manifold.Replace the
valve if the valve stem is bent.
6. Inspect the O-ring and the outer seal for cuts, tears etc.
7. If necessary, remove debris from the valve:
a. Use a small screwdriver to press on the end of the valve. Insert the screwdriver into the valve. A
poppet inside the valve is normally closed by light spring tension. If the poppet is clear, it will move
approximately 1/16 in. when pressed. Use compressed air or canned air to blow through the valve while
pressing the poppet open. Mineral-spirits or kerosene can also be used to flush debris out of the valve.
b. If the poppet cannot move when pressed, the valve might be damaged. Replace the valve if the
poppet cannot move.
NOTE: Some models include a flow control spool inside the lowering valve cavity of the manifold. It is visible
once the valve is removed. The outer body of the lowering valve is threaded into the cavity; the inner
part of the spool has a spring behind it and can move under gentle pressure. Use a small standard
head screwdriver to gently press on the flow control spool to determine if it can move up and down.
If the spool does not move, the spring or the entire spool must be replaced.
c. Reinstall the screen, followed by the O-ring and then the outer seal.
8. Reinstall the valve in the manifold. Tighten the valve to 20 ft∙lb of torque.
REMOVING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Air is likely trapped inside the tilt cylinder or lift cylinder If the chute tilts very slowly when pressing the
LOWER TILT button or if it rises slowly while pressing the LOWER LIFT button. Air trapped in a cylinder causes its
velocity fuse to close. This prevents oil from flowing out of the cylinder.
•Put the chute in HOME position, i.e. lower the chute.
•Unload the chute.
•Find the bleeder valve located at the top of the
appropriate (lift or tilt) cylinder: 1) Part no. 99-021-909-
001 if the chute un-tilts slowly; 2) part no. 99-021-912-001
or 99-021-913-001 if the chute assembly descends
slowly. Hold a rag over the valve and open it about 1/2
turn with a 3/8” or 5/16” wrench. Oil and air will sputter
from the valve. Jog the motor by pressing the
appropriate control button (RAISE TILT or RAISE LIFT) for
just a second. If air continues to escape from the
bleeder valve, jog the motor several more times. Wait
at least 5 seconds between successive jogs.
•When air is no longer observed and only a clear stream
of oil flows from the bleeder valve, close the valve.
•Check the oil level in the reservoir. If the surface of the oil is more than 1 to 1½ in. below the fill hole, add
oil until it is between 1 and 1½ inches of the fill hole.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Vestil Manufacturing Corporation (“Vestil”) warrants this product to be free of defects in material and
workmanship during the warranty period. Our warranty obligation is to provide a replacement for a
defective, original part covered by the warranty after we receive a proper request from the Warrantee
(you) for warranty service.
Who may request service?
Only a warrantee may request service. You are a warrantee if you purchased the product from Vestil or
from an authorized distributor AND Vestil has been fully paid.
Definition of “original part”?
An original part is a part used to make the product as shipped to the Warrantee.
What is a “proper request”?
A request for warranty service is proper if Vestil receives: 1) a photocopy of the Customer Invoice that
displays the shipping date; AND 2) a written request for warranty service including your name and phone
number. Send requests by one of the following methods:
US Mail Fax Email
Vestil Manufacturing Corporation [phone] [e-mail]
2999 North Wayne Street, PO Box 507 Phone Enter “Warranty service request”
Angola, IN 46703 [phone] in the subject field.
In the written request, list the parts believed to be defective and include the address where replacements
should be delivered. After Vestil receives your request for warranty service, an authorized representative will
contact you to determine whether your claim is covered by the warranty. Before providing warranty
service, Vestil will require you to send the entire product, or just the defective part (or parts), to its facility in
Angola, IN.
What is covered under the warranty?
The warranty covers defects in the following original, dynamic parts: motors, hydraulic pumps, motor
controllers, and cylinders. It also covers defects in original parts that wear under normal usage conditions
(“wearing parts”), such as bearings, hoses, wheels, seals, brushes, and batteries.
How long is the warranty period?
The warranty period for original dynamic components is 1 year. For wearing parts, the warranty period is
90 days. Both warranty periods begin on the date Vestil ships the product to the Warrantee. If the product
was purchased from an authorized distributor, the periods begin when the distributor ships the product.
Vestil may, at its sole discretion, extend a warranty period for products shipped from authorized distributors
by up to 30 days to account for shipping time.
If a defective part is covered by the warranty, what will Vestil do to correct the problem?
Vestil will provide an appropriate replacement for any covered part. An authorized representative of
Vestil will contact you to discuss your claim.
What is not covered by the warranty?
The Warrantee (you) is responsible for paying labor costs and freight costs to return the product to Vestil
for warranty service.
Events that automatically void this Limited Warranty.
•Misuse;
•Negligent assembly, installation, operation or repair;
•Installation/use in corrosive environments;
•Inadequate or improper maintenance;
•Damage sustained during shipping;
•Collisions or other accidents that damage the product;
•Unauthorized modifications: Do not modify the product IN ANY WAY without first receiving written
authorization from Vestil.
Do any other warranties apply to the product?
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. makes no other express warranties. All implied warranties are disclaimed to
the extent allowed by law. Any implied warranty not disclaimed is limited in scope to the terms of this
Limited Warranty. Vestil makes no warranty or representation that this product complies with any state or
local design, performance, or safety code or standard. Noncompliance with any such code or standard is
not a defect in material or workmanship.
