NOTE: The end user is responsible for ensuring that
all employees involved in the operation of this
hopper understand and follow these instructions.
Suitable for use indoors and outdoors in most common
industrial and commercial locations. Unit is intended
for use in conjunction with a rider fork truck to dump
non-hazardous refuse into typical refuse containers.
Hopper is self-dumping and has 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
Load rating, in pounds, is shown on the capacity 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.
DUMPING
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.

OPERATION
2. Secure the dumper to the fork truck's fork carriage
with the attached safety restraint. Wrap the restraint
chain 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. The dumper chute cannot dump unless the latch
is unlocked. To unlock the latch, pull the finger tab
at the top end of the latch lock bracket until 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.
7. 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.
