4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Before operation
Before operating a Multi-Tip bin lifter, check the following points to ensure that the machine is
stable and safe to use.
1. The machine is on level hard ground, with a slope of 1:12 or less.
2. All covers and safety guards are in place.
3. The wheel brakes are applied.
4. All personnel other than the operator are well clear of the machine.
5. The cradle is fully lowered.
6. The key is inserted and turned to the ON position.
7. The battery indicator shows an acceptable level of charge.
4.2 Emplacing and removing bins
All personnel using the machine must know how to correctly emplace and remove bins
from the machine. Bins that are not correctly emplaced may come loose and damage
the machine while being lifted, or fall out when inverted.
The bin cradle is designed to allow bins to be emplaced and removed easily, while also
holding them securely throughout the lifting and tipping cycle. A range of different cradles
may be installed, depending on the types of bin that the machine needs to empty. Use the
following table to identify the correct instructions for your machine.
