WARNING:
Make sure work area is clear of people and
obstacles prior to dumping or unloading
containers. SwapLoader strongly
recommends that a back up 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.
4.
Cycle the arm forward (left control lever forward), making sure the curved lifting bar is
securely attached to the hook. Release the brakes of the truck and steer to correctly align
the truck with the container. Watch the container rails to see that they come to rest
centered on the rear rollers. Do not extend the jib during lifting.
5.
When the container is resting on the frame, move the jib forward all the way to ensure the
container is held in the body locks (right control lever forward).
DUMPING
1.
Move the jib forward (right control forward) to ensure that the container is locked.
2.
Extend the main lift cylinders (left control backward).
CAUTION:
DO NOT RETRACT THE JIB WHILE DUMPING. Retracting the
jib during dumping may unlock the mechanical jib latches which
could allow the container to crash down onto the hoist and/or
abruptly unload.
