Assembly Instructions for WCS Dumpsters

Tools Needed
•Impact Driver, Drill, or Ratchet (Make sure that your battery is fully charged as a weak battery can result in
inadequate tightening of bolts.)
•Socket –9/16 and 11/16
•Hammer –Use to seat bolts in case coating is interfering.
•Screwdriver
Note: The dumpster can be assembled on the floor, but the use of a sturdy table for assembly in an elevated position
makes the job easier. Can be assembled by one person.
When assembly is complete make sure all bolts are fully tightened before use.
Orientation of Dumpster –Front is determined by the locking left front wheel and the front left and right vertical corner
posts are lower than the back.

Assembly Steps
Step 1 –Remove bolts holding top front and rear rails in place and set the rails aside. Remove lids from dumpster.
Step 2 –Remove front and rear transport bolts to release end pieces for vertical assembly. The nut for the transport bolt
on the rear is under the fork pocket.
*Transport bolts must be in place when dumpsters are in the folded position for stacking or moving. They secure the
fork pockets so they will not open when lifting.

Step 3 –Remove the nuts off the three bolts holding the corner stacking brackets in place on left end as facing the front.
Leave the top two bolts in holes as these will secure the end of unit when raised. Remove the bottom nut and bolt for use
later. The nuts will be replaced on bolts to secure the end sections and corner brackets to the frame when ends are raised
vertically.
Step 4 –First, loosen the nut on the corner pivot bolt.
With transport bolts and the 3 bolts from each corner bracket removed, raise one end of the dumpster ends and attach the
corner post and corner bracket to the frame with the bolts in top two holes from step 3. Before tightening the corner bolts,
make sure that the bottom holes line up for the bag support rod.
Tighten the 2 corner post bolts and finger tighten only the pivot bolt loosened earlier. * Make sure your battery is fully
charged when beginning assembly. Have a spare battery available.

Step 6 –Check all bolts holding casters and on the three support rails underneath the mesh as they may have loosened
during transport. Nuts for casters use 9/16 socket.
