OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
IF YOUR HOIST IS EQUIPPED WITH THE U-LOCK BODY LOCK
SYSTEM, ENSURE IT IS UNLOCKED PRIOR TO EXTENDING OR
RETRACTING THE JIB CYLINDER. WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING A
BODY, ENSURE THE U-LOCK IS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES. WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR DUMPING, THE U-LOCK MUST BE LOCKED.
LOADING A CONTAINER
STEP 1. ENGAGE THE P.T.O. (REFER TO P.T.O. MANUAL FOR OPERATION).
STEP 2. UNLOCK U-LOCK (IF INSTALLED ON HOIST). RETRACT THE JIB (RIGHT CONTROL LEVER BACKWARD). THEN,
TILT THE ARM BACKWARD (LEFT CONTROL LEVER BACKWARD).
STEP 3. MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA IN FRONT OF THE CONTAINER IS CLEAR OF PEOPLE AND OBSTACLES.
MOVE THE TRUCK BACKWARDS UNTIL THE HOOK ENGAGES THE CURVED LIFTING BAR OF THE
CONTAINER.
NEVER EXTEND THE JIB TO REACH THE PROPER CATCHING HEIGHT, RATHER TILT THE ARM.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE WORK AREA IS CLEAR OF PEOPLE AND OBSTACLES PRIOR
TO DUMPING OR UNLOADING CONTAINERS. SWAPLOADER STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THAT A BACKUP ALARM BE INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK
CHASSIS. THE OPERATION OF THE HOOK HOIST IS THAT THE TRUCK IS
BACKED UP TO THE BODY TO PICK IT UP AND SO THERE IS A POTENTIAL
PINCH POINT BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE HOOK.
