ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Uline recommends raising the hopper
on a forklift for assembly. If a forklift is
not available, tilt dumping hopper on its
side. Make sure hopper is stabilized before
proceeding.
RAISE HOPPER ON FORKLIFT
1. Drive lift truck forward until hopper's fork pockets
contact vertical legs of lift truck forks. (See Figure 1)
2. Wrap the safety chain around the fork carriage and
attach the quick link on the chain. There should be
no slack in the chain. (See Figure 2 and Figure 2a).
3. Raise forks to a comfortable
working height.
4. Unlock the latch and dump the
hopper.
ATTACH HANDLE SOCKET BRACKETS
Attach the socket brackets on either side of the hopper
base. Right socket bracket is offset to the right. Left
socket is offset to the left. (See Figure 3)
1. Insert two 3/8-16 x 1½
"
bolts through the two bolt
holes in the right socket bracket.
2. Slide the bolts through the
two bolt holes on the right
side of the base frame.
(See Figure 4)
3. Secure each bolt with a
3/8" locknut using a 9/16"
deep well socket wrench,
but DO NOT TIGHTEN.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to install the left socket bracket.
ATTACH HANDLE
1. Insert the handle legs into the sockets. Maneuver
handle legs into place until they are all the way into
the socket.
NOTE: Put handle legs into sockets evenly. Do
not put in one at a time.
2. Tighten the set screws on the back of the socket
brackets against the handle legs using a 9/16"
wrench.
