CASTER BRAKE
Each hopper has two swiveling casters in the rear, one
of which is equipped with a brake. (See Figure 9)
1. To engage the brake, press the brake lever down.
When the brake is engaged, the wheel will not rotate.
2. To disengage the brake, lift the brake lever up.
LOADING
WARNING! Do not exceed the load rating or fill
the hopper above the top of the sides. Serious
personal injury (or property damage) could
result from overloading the hopper.
Low profile hoppers are designed for indoor and
outdoor use in most industrial and commercial
settings. They should only be used to collect and dump
non-hazardous wastes.
1. Confirm the hopper chute is solidly latched to the
base frame before filling the chute with refuse.
2. When the hopper is stationary, engage the caster
brake.
DUMPING
1. Mount the hopper on the forks of a lift truck and
secure it to the carriage with the safety chain. Wrap
the free end of the chain around the lift carriage;
then fasten the quick link to a link in the chain. The
chain must be taut (no slack) to prevent the hopper
from sliding on the forks.
2. Store the handle of the release cable within reach
of the forklift operator. For example, hook the cable
to the frame of the forklift cab. Make sure that there
is plenty of slack in the cable to avoid accidentally
releasing the chute.
3. The chute cannot dump unless the latch is unlocked.
To unlock the latch, pull the finger tab at the top
end of the latch lock bracket until the bracket
disengages the latch bar (See Figure 10)
