SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However,
material handling is dangerous and no manual can address every conceivable risk. Ultimately, the most
effective way to prevent injury is to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.
Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation might result in death or
serious personal injuries.
•Read & understand this entire manual before using or servicing the hopper.
•Inspect the hopper as directed in the INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE section on p. 10. DO NOT
use the hopper unless it is in SATISFACTORY CONDITION. See RECORD OF SATISFACTORY
CONDITION on p. 10.
•DO NOT use the hopper if the carriage chain is damaged or missing; DO NOT lift the hopper until it is
securely connected to the carriage of the fork truck with the carriage chain. ONLY use this hopper with
a powered forklift truck. DO NOT mount the hopper on stackers or manually propelled lift trucks.
•DO NOT fill the hopper with a load weighing more than its maximum rated load. See
SPECIFICATIONS tables on page 2.
•NO ONE should travel under the hopper at any time while it is elevated.
•NEVER wrap the release cable around your hand, fingers, or any other part of your body!
•Hoppers with lifting lugs can be lifted with overhead hoists and cranes. DO NOT lift a hopper
unless the chute is securely latched to the frame.
•DO NOT allow people to ride on or in the hopper.
•DO NOT use the hopper if any label is unreadable or missing. Apply replacement labels before
returning the hopper to service. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 11.
•ALWAYS apply proper lift truck operation techniques learned during your training program. Before
raising the hopper from the floor, tilt the (forklift) mast toward the cab of the truck to ensure that the
hopper will not slide off of the forks.
•DO NOT modify the hopper in any way without first obtaining express, written authorization!
Unauthorized modifications might make the hopper unsafe to use and automatically void the LIMITED
WARRANTY on p. 12.
•DO NOT dump the hopper UNLESS every person in the vicinity moves to a safe location away from
the dumping site.
•DO NOT dump the hopper if the forklift is on sloped terrain. Only dump the hopper while on level
surfaces.
•Do not exceed the load ratings or fill the hopper above the side walls. Injury to personnel or
permanent damage to the equipment could result from overloading.

LOADING THE CHUTE
Verify that the hopper chute is securely latched and locked to the base frame before filling it with refuse.
Standard H-series self-dumping hoppers are suitable for use indoors and outdoors and in most industrial and
commercial settings. They are designed for use with rider forklift trucks. Use the hopper to collect and dump non-
hazardous wastes.
USING THE HOPPER
These hoppers have a low profile and rotate through a 90° dump angle. To dump the hopper chute, a forklift
operator must simply unlock the release lever and pull the release cable.
Step 1: Mount the hopper on the forks of your lift truck. Drive forward until the forks contact the ends of the fork
slots. Securely attach the hopper to the fork carriage with the carriage chain by wrapping the free end of the chain
around part of the carriage. Then, connect the quick link at the end of the chain to a link in the chain. There
should be little to no slack in the chain.
Step 2: Store the handle of the release cable within reach of the forklift operator. For example, the handle could
be hooked to the frame of the roll cage.
NOTE: Make sure that there is slack in the cable. If the cable is taut, bumps or sudden stops while driving might
cause the chute to be released.
Step 3: Raise the forks and tilt the mast back/towards the cab. Only raise the forks a few inches above the
ground. Drive the forklift to the trash dumpster. Pull the finger tab until the latch lock disengages the latch bar.
See diagrams included in Step 4 below. Elevate the hopper above the sides of the dumpster.
Step 4: Pull the release cable to release the chute and dump its contents. The chute will pivot about the dump
axis. If necessary, tilt the mast forward/away from the cab while pulling the release cable to encourage the chute
to dump.
NEVER WRAP THE RELEASE CABLE AROUND ANY PART OF YOUR BODY,
ESPECIALLY AN ARM OR HAND! When the chute dumps, the cable is pulled forward.
Step 5: Return the chute to the latched position. Tilt the forklift mast toward the cab; then back away from the
dumpster. Lower the forks until the hopper contacts the ground; then slowly lower the forks the rest of the way to
the ground until the chute latches to the base frame. Confirm that the chute is properly latched by raising the
forks. The chute should not rotate.If necessary, lower the forks completely and manually latch the chute to the
frame by pressing down on the back of the chute (see “H-series” diagram in Step 4). Alternatively, use the side of
the dumpster to pivot the chute back onto the base frame.
Step 6: Lock the latch. Press the latch lock forward until it firmly engages the latch bar.

STACKING HOPPERS
H-series hoppers are designed to
stack on top of each other. Notches
in the base and rim grooves in
specially designed cast feet of one
hopper engage the rim of the hopper
supporting it as shown in the diagram
to the right.
Hoppers of identical width can be
stacked together, i.e. H-25 and H-50
series hoppers stack together. H-100
and H-150 series hoppers also stack
together. Always unload hoppers
before stacking them and NEVER
create stacks of more than 3
hoppers. The bottom hopper must
not be equipped with casters.
DO NOT move stacked hoppers! Only move one hopper at-a-time by properly mounting it to
your forklift as described in Step 1 on p. 9. All hoppers must be empty whenever they are stacked.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Before using this hopper for the first time, create a record OF its appearance and features. Include
descriptions of the chute, feet, base, carriage chain and quick link, pivot points and pivot point hardware,
and the chute release mechanism. Release the chute. Describe how the unit looks and sounds as the chute
rotates. Also describe the force necessary to release the chute using both the manual release lever and the
cable. Secure the chute to the base and describe how the latch mechanism works. Thoroughly photograph
the unit including all labels. Collate all writings and photographs into a single file. This file is a record of the
unit in satisfactory condition. Compare your results of all inspections to this record to determine if the
unit is still in satisfactory condition. Restore the hopper to satisfactory condition BEFORE using it again.
Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged surface coating (paint or powdercoat) are not changes from
satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs to prevent
rusting.
INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE
At least once per month, tag the unit out of service. Inspect the hopper to determine if it is in satisfactory
condition. Compare your observations with the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION. Replace all
items that cannot be repaired. Always err on the side of caution. If you are uncertain whether a component
should be replaced or if the unit should be used, contact TECHNICAL SERVICE.
Make a dated record of the inspection that includes all observations and described repairs and/or
replacements made.
1.) Pivot points: Look for excessive wear, warps, or other damage to pivot pins, cotter pins, and pin
receivers.
2.) Hopper chute and base frame: Examine the structure for damage, deformations, and corroded or
excessively rusted areas.
3.) Hardware (bolts, nuts, pins, cotter pins, retaining rings): inspect hardware for looseness and severe wear.
Tighten loose connections and replace all damaged hardware.
4.) Casters (if hopper is equipped with caster kit): check for looseness, excessive wear, or damage to the
casters, caster bearings, mounting brackets, and hardware.
5.) Release mechanism: the torsion spring should cause the latch lever to automatically recoil and the lever
should firmly engage the release lock bar. Check the release cable for fraying, thinning, and bird-caging
regions.
6.) Moving parts: listen for unusual noises and watch for irregular movement. Remove dirt and debris from
areas that could affect the hopper’s dumping motion.
7.)Carriage chain: examine the carriage chain, its point of attachment to the base frame, and the quick
links for damage.
8.)Labels: all labels must be firmly affixed in the locations shown in the LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 11.

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 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, electronic
controllers, switches, 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) are responsible for paying labor costs and freight costs to return the product to Vestil for
warranty service.

•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.
