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)
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).
Figure 2 |
3. Raise forks to a comfortable working height.
4. Unlock the latch and dump the |

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.

SAFETY
WARNING! Follow these safety instructions to avoid any personal injury.
•Do not use a malfunctioning or structurally damaged hopper. Examples of structural damage include:
a.damage to the hopper release mechanism (that allows the hopper to dump);
b.broken fork pocket(s);
c.damaged main connection pin; or
d.broken welds. Inspect the hopper before each use according to the inspection instructions on page 6. Do Not use the hopper unless it passes every part of the inspection.
•DO NOT use the hopper if the safety chain is damaged or absent.
•DO NOT lift the hopper until it is securely connected to the carriage of the fork truck with the safety chain.
•DO NOT fill the hopper with a load weighing more than its capacity (2,000 lb.).
•DO NOT stand beneath or travel under the hopper at any time. Do not permit any person to stand beneath or travel under the hopper.
•Hoppers with lifting lugs can be lifted with overhead hoists and cranes. DO NOT lift a hopper unless the chute is securely latched to the frame. The hopper must not be able to rotate while it is suspended.
•DO NOT allow people to ride on or in the hopper.
•DO NOT use the hopper if any product label is unreadable, damaged, or missing. Contact Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 to order replacement labels.
•Always apply proper (fork) lift truck operation practices learned during your training program. Before raising the hopper from the floor, tilt the (forklift) mast toward the cab of the truck to ensure that the hopper will not slide towards the tips of the forks.
•DO NOT modify the hopper in any way! Modifications might make the hopper unsafe to use and automatically void the limited warranty.
•DO NOT dump the hopper unless every person in the vicinity is safely behind the forklift truck.
•DO NOT dump the hopper if the forklift is facing down a slope. Only dump the hopper while parked on a level surface.
•ALWAYS engage the caster brake when the hopper is stationary or not in use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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)

4.Raise the hopper above the dumpster and drive forward until the dumping axis is clearly over the inside of the dumpster (See Figure 11).

5.Dump the contents of the hopper by releasing the chute. To release the chute, pull the release cable. The chute will pivot about the dump axis.
WARNING! DO NOT wrap the release cable around your hand/fingers or attach the handle to your clothing!
6.Latch the chute to the base.
a.Manually: Slowly lower the forks until the hopper rests on the ground. The chute will pivot towards the frame. Press the back end of the chute onto the base until the latch lever engages the latch bar.
b.Using the forklift: Raise the fork tips by tilting the forklift mast toward the cab. Then, back away from the dumpster. Slowly lower the forks until the front end of the chute contacts the top of the side of the dumpster. Continue to slowly lower the forks until the chute pivots onto the base frame. You should hear the latch lever snap over the latch bar. Confirm that the chute is securely latched by raising the forks. The chute should not rotate. If necessary, lower the forks completely and manually latch the chute to the frame.
7.Lock the latch by reversing the process described in step 3.
WARNING! DO NOT move the hopper until the latch is locked!
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! If an inspection reveals issues, restore the hopper to normal operating condition BEFORE using it again. DO NOT use a structurally damaged hopper. Structural damage includes but is not limited to, cracked welds, warping or deformation of the chute, pivot points, or the supporting frame, particularly the fork pockets.
DAILY INSPECTION
Before each use, inspect the following components:
•Release cable – Look for fraying, birdcaging, thinning.
•Hopper chute or base frame – Check for damage, deformation, corrosion or severely rusted regions.
•Pivot points – As the chute rotates (after releasing it), listen for unusual noise and watch for binding as the chute rotates. Also look for distortion of the axle points or axle receivers.
•Release/latch mechanisms – Test the chute release mechanism (lock release, lever assembly). The torsion spring should cause the lever assembly to automatically recoil and firmly latch the chute to the frame.
•Safety chain – Check the chain for damaged links (broken, cracked, elongated).

0621 IH-5485 |
MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
MONTHLY INSPECTION
Inspect the following components at the least once per month. Replace any component that is excessively worn or no longer operates normally:
•Pivot points – Look for excessive wear, warping, or other damage to the release lever pin, pin brackets, axle pins and axle receivers. Listen for unusual noises and watch for irregular movement. Remove dirt and debris from areas that could affect the hopper's dumping motion.
•Fasteners (bolt, locknuts, axle pins, cotter pins, retaining rings) – Inspect for looseness and wear.
•Casters – Check for looseness, excessive wear or damage to the casters, caster bearings, mounting brackets and hardware. Confirm that the brake functions properly.
•Release Mechanism – Verify the mechanisms function properly:
a.Torsion spring firmly latches the lock release lever assembly to the chute.
b.The latch lock bracket should seat on the latch bar unless manually disengaged.
c.Lever assembly pivots smoothly and securely engages the latch bar.
•Chute – Examine the chute. The structure should be rigid and square without corroded holes or severely rusted areas.
•Supporting frame – Examine the frame. It should be rigid and square, welds should be intact and fork pockets should be square and sound.
•Labels – All labels must be applied to the hopper in the locations shown in the labeling diagram on page 4.
WARNING! The end user should understand the significant difference between necessary adjustments and repairs, and modification. Adjustments are simple corrections that restore the hopper to normal operating condition, such as tightening loose fasteners, or removing dirt or other debris from the surface. Repairs
involve removing worn parts and installing new/ replacement parts.
A modification is a change that alters the hopper from normal operating condition, such as bending the frame or removing a part
or several parts. NEVER modify the hopper. Modifications automatically void the Warranty and might make the hopper unsafe to use.
