Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no

manual can address every possible risk. The end-user ultimately must apply sound judgment whenever using this
product. Improper or careless use might result in serious personal injuries.

 Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product

constitutes misuse.

 DO NOT exceed the capacity of this dumper: 1,000 lb. (~455kg). The capacity appears on label 287 (see p. 5).

The total weight applied to the dumper (weight of the trash bin plus contents) must be less than the capacity.

 ONLY transport the dumper and trash bin with a forklift capable of supporting the weight of the dumper and a

full capacity load.

 Make sure that the dumper/trash bin will not contact overhead objects during use.
 Inspect the product as described in “Inspections & Maintenance” on p. 5. DO NOT use the dumper unless it is

in normal condition. DO NOT use the product until it is fully restored to normal condition. ONLY use
manufacturer-approved replacement parts.

 DO NOT remove or obscure any label (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 5). All labels must be readable and

undamaged. Replace labels

 DO NOT modify the dumper! Modifications automatically void the limited warranty (see p. 6) and might make

the dumper unsafe to use.

 Inform all persons in the area that you are going to use the dumper, and instruct them to stay away from the

fork lift and dumper during operation. Clear all debris from the path of travel.

 DO NOT transport, lift or dump trash carts that are not approved for use with the dumper. ONLY use the

dumper with Vestil TH-64 (C type) trash carts. C type carts are described in ANSI Z245.60.

 Keep clear of the dumper while it is in use. DO NOT reach into the cart while it is connected to the dumper.
 DO NOT use the FM-T-Dump to lift broken or overloaded carts. A broken or overloaded cart might break free

of the dumper during use and could cause serious injuries.

 DO NOT lift carts over people.
 DO NOT allow people to ride on the dumper, or in a cart engaged by the dumper.

This product must be properly maintained to function properly. Follow the maintenance

recommendations provided in “Inspections & Maintenance” on p. 5.
