OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Always observe the following precautions:
• Do not use chains to hook onto any container, as
the hoist has the power to break most chains.
• Never adjust the hydraulic pressure setting without
using an accurate working pressure gauge placed
in the system on the pressure side of the main
hydraulic control valve.
NOTE: Do not set the
pressure to exceed pressures shown on the
hydraulic schematic.
• Operate one control at a time. The control valve
is not designed to operate two or more functions
simultaneously.
• Do not alter the hydraulic valves or the hydraulic
system in any way without prior approval in writing
from the manufacturer.
• Never use a locking device to hold a control handle
or a valve open, as the valves are designed to
return to the center when released, allowing a
complete stop of movement.
• Check the cable for excessive wear and replace
as needed. Cable manufacturer recommends
changing cable once a year or sooner depending on
working conditions or environmental factors.
NOTE: Change all cable clamps when replacing
the cable.
• Observe and obey all caution and warning decals
on both hoist and containers.
• Always power the hoist down. Do not let the
hoist drift down with the Power Take Off (PTO)
disengaged. This may cause air infiltration into the
hydraulic system. Damage to the pump may occur.
• Never drive the truck with the PTO engaged.
• Never drive the truck with the hoist in any position
other than fully down.
• Hydraulic oil warm up is required in very cold
weather. Engage PTO and let the truck idle for
several minutes.
• Never allow anyone to work on the hoist in the
raised position without the safety props in place
to prevent it from lowering. The safety props
are designed and constructed to be used in
conjunction with other safety mechanisms on the
truck, in particular the hydraulic cylinders. Do not
use the safety props on their own at any time –
especially while personnel are working under or
around the hoist.
• Never move the truck unless the container and
hoist hold-downs are engaged.
• Never move a truck with the container loaded
unless the hoist is down in the over-the-road
travel position. If the unit is equipped with a rear
stabilizer, it must be raised off the ground before
moving the truck.
• Always drive slowly over rough and bumpy roads
to prevent excessive stress on the equipment.
Operate the equipment smoothly and slowly.
• Always operate the roll-off within its rated capacity
and follow the suggested maintenance and
lubrication program.
