or MODERATE injury.

might damage the hopper.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

We strive to identify all hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material handling is dangerous and no manual can address every risk. The most effective way to avoid injury is for the end-user to exercise sound judgment whenever using this product.

Material handling is dangerous. Improper or careless operation might result in serious

personal injuries.

• Read & understand the instructions in this manual before installing, using or servicing the

hopper.

• DO NOT use the hopper unless it is in satisfactory condition. See Record of Satisfactory Condition on

p. 16.

• Inspect the hopper before each use as directed in Inspections & Maintenance on p. 16.

• DO NOT lift the hopper until the safety chain is connected to the fork carriage without slack.

• ONLY use this hopper on a powered forklift truck. DO NOT mount the hopper on stackers or manually

propelled lift trucks.

• DO NOT overfill the hopper! The total weight of the fill material must not weigh more than its capacity.

Capacity information is provided in the Specifications tables on p. 2-4. Capacity is also included on label 287 which is shown in the Labeling Diagram on p. 17.

• Keep clear of the hopper whenever it is mounted on a forklift. Keep feet and all other parts of your

body out from underneath the hopper when it is elevated. Instruct others to stay away from the forklift and hopper while transport and dumping operations are underway.

• 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. Confirm that the chute is latched and locked before attaching rigging to the lifting lugs. The chute must not be able to release while the hopper is suspended.

• DO NOT allow people to ride on or in the hopper.

• DO NOT use the hopper if any label is unreadable, damaged, or missing. Contact the Parts

Department to order replacement labels.

• Before raising the hopper, tilt the forklift mast toward the cab. Tilting the mast should prevent the

hopper from sliding on the forks. Drive slowly and carefully. Bumps encountered while driving cause the hopper to bounce and slide on the forks. Turn slowly. Turning rapidly will cause the hopper to slide toward the ends of the forks.

• DO NOT modify the hopper. Modifying the hopper automatically voids the Limited Warranty and could

make the hopper unsafe to use.

• DO NOT dump the chute UNLESS every person in the vicinity is a safe distance from the dumping

site and forklift truck.

• DO NOT dump the chute if the forklift is facing downslope. Dump the hopper from a level surface.

• DO NOT exceed the capacity of the hopper.

• DO NOT overfill the chute. Fill material should not be higher than any of the walls of the chute.

USING THE HOPPER

Confirm that the hopper chute is latched to the base frame (i.e. NOT released and cannot rotate) before filling the

chute with refuse. Standard self-dumping hoppers are suitable for use indoors and outdoors and in most industrial and commercial settings. They are intended to be used with rider forklift trucks as a means for dumping non-hazardous refuse into larger trash receptacles. The chute rotates through a 70° dump angle. D-series hoppers can be dumped in 2 ways: 1) Manually—by pulling the release cable; and 2) Remotely—by pressing the bumper plate against an object.

Step 1: Drive the lift truck forward and insert the forks into the fork tubes. Drive forward until either: 1) the tips of the forks begin to stick out of the ends of the tubes; or 2) if the forks are not long enough to extend all the way through the tubes, drive forward as far as possible.

Step 2: Securely attach the hopper to the fork carriage with the safety chain. Wrap the chain around part of the fork carriage; then connect the quick link at the end of the chain to a link in the chain with as little slack as possible.

DO NOT wrap the release cable around any part of your body, especially your hands. DO NOT

attach the handle to your clothing. If you do and the chute is released, you might be seriously injured.

Step 3: If you will release the chute manually by pulling the release handle, store the handle within reach of the forklift operator, for example by hooking it to the frame of the cab. Make sure that there is plenty of slack in the cable to avoid accidentally releasing/dumping the chute.

NOTE: If you will use the bumper plate mechanism to dump the chute, attach the handle to the frame of the hopper.

Do not hook the handle to the chute because it could be torn from the cable when the chute is dumped.

Step 4: Drive the forklift to the trash receptacle. Before raising the hopper, unlock the latch lever by pulling the finger tab until the lock disengages the latch bar. See diagrams with Step 5.

Step 5: Raise the forks and tilt the forklift mast backwards (towards the cab). Tilting the mast backwards makes it easier to release the latch. The hopper can now be dumped manually or remotely:

A) Manually: elevate the entire hopper above the side wall of the dumpster. See diagram A. Tile the mast forward

slightly and pull the release cable.

NOTE: NEVER wrap the release cable around any part of your body, particularly fingers, hands, and arms.

B) Remotely: elevate the hopper so that the bumper plate can contact the side of the dumpster at or near the top.

See diagram B. Drive the forklift toward the dumpster and press the bumper plate against the top of the side wall. Tilt the mast forward slightly, if necessary, to dump the chute.

Step 6: Return the chute to the latched position. Tilt the forklift mast toward the cab and back away from the dumpster. The hopper should automatically return to the latched position. Confirm that the chute is latched to the base by tilting the mast forward (away from the cab). The chute should not dump. If the chute will not latch by tilting the mast backwards, set the hopper on the ground and manually latch the chute to the frame. Press down on the rear wall of the chute until the latch lever engages the latch bar. Apply the lock.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION

After receiving the unit and before using it for the first time, create a record that describes the appearance and operation of the hopper. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles. Take close range photographs of the labels, release mechanisms, safety chain—particularly at each end, pivot points, and pivot point hardware. Mount the hopper of the forks of your forklift and apply the safety chain. Elevate the hopper and release the chute. Record your observations about how the unit looks and sounds as the chute rotates. Lower the unit and secure the chute to the frame. Record your observations. This written record establishes satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to this record to determine whether a component is in satisfactory condition or requires repair or replacement.

If issues are discovered during an inspection, DO NOT use the hopper until it is

restored to satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged surface coating (paint or powdercoat) are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied wherever the finish is damaged as soon as damage occurs.

INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary for the hopper to remain in satisfactory condition for as long as possible. If you have any questions about the condition of your hopper, including whether it should continue to be used or whether a part should be replaced, contact Technical Service.

Step 1: At least once per month, tag the hopper “Out of Service.”

Step 2: Inspect the hopper. Replace any component that is not in satisfactory condition

1.) Pivot points: Check for excessive wear, warping, or other significant damage to pivot pins, cotter pins, and pin receivers.

2.) Hopper chute and base frame: Examine the structures for damage, deformation, and corroded or excessively rusted regions. Remove rust with a steel bristle brush and apply touch-up paint to exposed metal.

3.) Hardware (bolts, nuts, pins, cotter pins, retaining rings): Inspect hardware for looseness and severe wear. Tighten loose connections and replace all damaged hardware.

4.) Casters (if hopper is equipped with caster kit): Check for looseness, excessive wear, and damage to the caster wheels, caster bearings, mounting brackets, and mounting hardware.

5.) Release mechanism: The torsion spring should cause the latch lever to automatically recoil and the lever should firmly contact the release lock bar. Check the release cable for frays, thinning, corrosion, and birdcaging.

6.) Pivot points: Listen for unusual sounds. Watch for irregular movements. Remove dirt and debris from areas that could affect the dumping motion.

7.) Carriage chain: Examine the chain, the attachment to the base frame, and the quick links for damage.

8.) Labels: All labels should be present in the locations shown in the Labeling Diagram on p. 17.

Step 3: Perform all adjustments, replacements, and repairs necessary to restore satisfactory condition

DO NOT modify the hopper in any way without first obtaining written approval from Vestil. Modifications automatically void the Limited Warranty and might make the hopper unsafe to use. A modification is a change that alters the hopper, like or removing or bending a component.

Step 4: Make a dated record of all repairs and replacements.
