MPORTANT NOTES

I

Ensure that all employees understand and follow the following.

o Read and understand the owner’s manual before using or servicing

the tote dumper.

o The load must be removed and the carriage fully lowered before any

work is performed on the tote dumper.

o Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are

legible.

o Do not use the tote dumper if any damage or unusual noise is

observed.

o Always watch the container carefully when the tote dumper is in

operation.

o The tote dumper is intended for use only on compacted, improved

surfaces.

o Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system. If oil is

needed, use an anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of
150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 cSt @ 40°C), or Dexron transmission fluid.

o Contact the manufacturer for any needed MSDS information.

♦ Do not perform any modifi cations to the tote dumper without the

manufacturer’s approval. Failure to receive authorization for
changes to the equipment could void the warranty.

♦ Maintenance and repairs are to be done only by personnel qualified

to perform the required work. Consideration will not be given for
warranty repair labor charges without prior written authorization by

WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, MODEL JMD

Ensure that all employees understand and follow the following instructions.

¾ Read and understand the owner’s manual before using or servicing the dumper.
¾ Inspect the tote for damage before each lift. Do not attempt to pick up the tote unless it is in

good condition.

¾ Always have the floor lock engaged solidly with the floor surface when the dumper is in operation.
¾ Verify that the tote is engaged and held securely by the dumper before proceeding to raise the

tote.

¾ Always watch the dumper and the tote carefully when the dumper is in operation.
¾ Stand away from the side of the dumper when it is in operation. Stay clear of any potential pinch

and shear points.

¾ Be alert to the possibility of splashing or flying material when dumpin g loads.
¾ Do not use the dumper if any damage or unusual noise is observed.
¾ Do not perform any modifications to the dumper without the manufacturer’s approval. Failure to

receive authorization for changes to the equipment could void the warranty.

¾ Maintenance and repairs are to be done only by personnel qualified to perform the required work.
¾ The dumper must be fully lowered, power should be disconnected, and the tote should be removed

from the dumper before any maintenance or repairs are performed on the dumper.

¾ Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in place and are legible. See the labels page in this

manual.

¾ Do not use brake fluid or jack oils in the hydraulic system. If oil is needed, use an anti-wear

hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @ 40°C), or a
non-synthetic automatic transmission fluid.

¾ Use only replacement parts either supplied or approved by the manufacturer.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS -- JMD

Loading:

The load rating is shown on the machine dataplate located at the lower right side of
the frame (relative to the push handle side) . It indicates the net capacity of both
the multi-purpose tote and the tote dumper. Injury to personnel or permanent
damage to the dumper or could result from exceeding the listed capacity.

The multi-purpose tote dumper is designed to transport and dump material from
our model MPT-1 ½ cubic yard polyethylene tote.

To load the tote onto the dumper, ensure that the carriage is in the fully lowered
position. Roll the higher side (the back side) of the tote up against the dumper’s
carriage, centered horizontally. The tote will be picked up automatically when the
carriage is raised.

Operation:

The dumper is supplied with a constant-pressure (dead-man) pushbutton control.
Pressing the “UP” pushbutton will turn on the power unit to raise the carriage. The

carriage will raise only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the
carriage will stop and hold its position. A limit switch will turn off the motor when
the carriage reaches its maximum rotation angle.

Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton will energize the lowering valve to allow the
carriage to descend. Again, releasing the control will stop the carriage movement,
and the unit will hold its position. Be certain no part of any person or object is
under any part of the carriage before lowering the unit.

In the event that the load exceeds the dumping capacity, the hydraulic system’s
relief valve will open and not allow the unit to lift.

Safety:

Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation.
Never use the dumper if it is in need of repairs or if it seems to be malfunctioning.
Use only with approved totes that are in good condition.
Notify maintenance personnel if you notice anything out of the ordinary, such as odd

noises, erratic motion, or damage to any part of the lift or its components.

Ordering replacement parts:

We take pride in using quality parts on the equipment we manufacture. We are not
responsible for equipment problems resulting from the use of unapproved
replacement parts.

To order replacement or spare parts for this equipment, contact the factory.
In any communication with the factory please be prepared to provide the machine’s

serial number, which is indicated on the machine dataplate.

Routine Maintenance & Safety Checks -- JMD

¾ Care should be taken to identify all potential hazards and comply with applicable safety procedures

before beginning work.

¾ Fully lower the carriage to the floor before beginning any inspection or work on the unit.
¾ Only qualified individuals trained to understand mechanical devices and their associated electrical

and hydraulic circuits should attempt troubleshooting and repair of this equipmen t

(A) Before each use inspect for the following:

1.) Frayed wires

2.) Oil leaks

3.) Pinched or chafed hoses

4.) Damaged or loose parts.

5.) Damage or structural deformation to the structural members, the

cylinder brackets, etc.

6.) Unusual noise or binding, or evidence thereof.

7.) Floor lock makes solid contact with the floor surface.

8.) Proper functioning of the upper travel limit switch.

(B) In addition to the above, inspect monthly for:

1.) The oil level. Oil should be 1” to 1½” below the reservoir’s fill hole

with the chute fully tilted.

2.) Worn or damaged hydraulic hoses and electrical wires.

3.) Proper operation of the tote lifting hooks.

4.) Pivot point wear at the hinge pins and cylinder ends.

5.) Intact pin and clevis retaining rings and / or fasteners.

6.) Looseness, wear, or damage to the casters’ bearings, mounting

hardware, or surface material.

7.) Excess wear to the floor lock friction pad.

8.) Unusual noises.

9.) Information and warning labels being in place and in good condition.

10.) The need to clean off dirt and debris.

(C) Yearly inspection

The oil should be changed if the oil darkens, becomes gritty, or turns a
milky color (indicating the presence of water). Replace with an anti-wear
hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F, (ISO 32 @
40°C). Ex: AW 32 or HO 150 hydraulic fluid, or Dexron transmission
fluid.
