3.2 Cleaning
The machine may be cleaned with a low-pressure water jet, a microfiber cloth, and a mild
cleaning solution. Cleaning should be carried out with the cradle in the fully-lowered position.
Do not clean the machine with a high-pressure water jet or waterblaster.
See §1.9 for IP ratings of the machine and major subcomponents.
3.3 Cradle jams
Occasionally the bin cradle may become jammed at some point in the tipping cycle. This is
usually a minor issue which can be easily rectified.
The cradle is not powered down – it is lowered by gravity alone.
See §3.7.6 for a schematic diagram of the hydraulic system.
3.3.1 Cradle jams while raising
If the cradle jams while raising the cause may be either an overweight bin, or a mechanical
fault, such as a bent tipping guide or misaligned roller.
3.3.1.1 Overweight bin
1. Lower the cradle to ground level and remove the bin.
2. Remove some material from the bin, then try again.
If the pressure-relief valve is adjusted incorrectly, the cradle can stall even when lifting
bins that are within the
ch e’s Safe Working Load as per §1.4 . The pressure-relief valve
may only be adjusted by a qualified technician, with prior authorisation from Simpro.
3.3.1.2 Mechanical fault
1. If possible, lower the cradle to ground level and remove the bin.
2. Attempt to visually identify the cause of the jamming. The most likely causes are:
a. The lifting chain may have derailed from the guide at the top of the mast.
b. The mast may have been bent or damaged.
c. Lack of lubrication on the follower roller , or the main cradle axle
d. The roller arm may be pressing against the tipping guide, due to the cradle
sitting out of level or being incorrectly adjusted.
3. With the cradle lowered, rectify the problem by straightening and/or realigning the
mechanical components as required. If the mast is bent, you may need to contact
your agent for support.
4. Run the machine through several full cycles to ensure the problem has been resolved.
3.3.2 Cradle jams while lowering
If the cradle jams on the way down, or has jammed on the way up but will not come down, it
may be due to a hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical fault.
