Hazards of Improper Use:
Vestil strives to identify all foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products. However, no manual can
address every possible risk. The most effective means for avoiding injury is to read all of the instructions prior to putting
the dumper into service and to apply sound judgment whenever using this device.
If this product is used improperly or carelessly, the user and/or bystanders might sustain serious personal
injuries or could even be killed. ALWAYS use the product properly:
Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the device.
ONLY use the dumper to empty trash bins. ALWAYS load the dumper consistently with the directions on p. 15. TCD-
M model dumpers must ONLY be used with Vestil Manufacturing Co. trash bins models TH-32, TH-64, TH-95, and
95-GLT.
Inspect the dumper before each use according to the inspection instructions on p. 16-18. DO NOT use the TCD
unless it passes every element of the inspection. DO NOT use a damaged dumper. Examples of damage include
broken/missing retaining arms, cracked welds, cracked cylinder mounting brackets, and severe rust/corrosion.
Apply both floor locks BEFORE operating the dumping function. Floor locks should be applied whenever the dumper
is not in use.
DO NOT move the dumper up or down slopes unless you can easily control the unit. If you must cross sloped ground,
always control the unit from the uphill side.
DO NOT stand beneath or travel under the dumper chute while it is elevated.
DO NOT stand in the dumping path while the chute is operating. ALWAYS stand to the side of the dumper whenever
the chute is moving or elevated.
DO NOT use this dumper UNLESS every label shown in the “Labeling diagram” on p. 19 is present, undamaged, and
easily readable.
DO NOT exceed the capacity of the dumper. The capacity of each model appears in the tables on pages 2 & 3 as well
as on label 287 (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 19). The weight of the trash bin plus the weight of its contents must not
exceed the capacity.
DO NOT modify the dumper in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unapproved
modifications automatically void the limited warranty and might make the dumper unsafe to use.
DO NOT use the dumper on sloped surfaces. ONLY use it on level, even surfaces
Before using the dumper, make sure that the dumper chute will not contact overhead objects during use.
This product must be properly maintained to function properly. (See “Inspections”, p. 16-18).
At least once per month, check the ladder frame. The ladder should be solid, square, and free of rust and corrosion.
Lubricate pivot points whenever necessary for the chute to rotate as noiselessly as possible.
The dumper is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, it must be stored indoors when not in use and
must not be used in the rain.

Power unit operation
This trash can dumper uses modular electric-hydraulic power to extend and retract a cylinder, which causes the
chute to raise (dump) and lower (return to home position). An electric motor directly coupled to a gear pump
pressurizes the hydraulic system. The hydraulic control components are housed inside a manifold bolted to the gear
pump. Each component is rated for 3,000psi working pressure. Noteworthy components of the power unit include:
Electric motor: the motor is either AC powered (wall socket) or DC powered (battery). AC-powered motors can be
wired for either single-phase or three-phase operation. Regardless of phase configuration, every motor is dual-
voltage capable.
Gear pump: the pump shaft is directly coupled to the shaft of the electric motor. Several displacements are
available to match the horsepower of the motor selected.
Check valve: prevents backflow of fluid through the pump and to the reservoir. Because fluid can only flow in
response to an electrical signal from the pendant controller, the chute can maintain any position between the
raised and lowered configurations.
Pressure relief valve: opens a path for fluid to flow back to the reservoir if fluid pressure exceeds 3,000psi.
Lowering solenoid valve: electrically-operated cartridge valve with an integral screen to keep contaminants from
entering the valve.
Pressure compensated flow control spool: this device regulates the flow of hydraulic oil from the cylinder back to
the reservoir. It is located beneath the lowering valve. This component allows the table to lower at a
predetermined constant rate regardless of the weight of the dumper and contents. Several sizes are available.
Displacement style hydraulic cylinder: each cylinder includes a bleeder valve located at top end for removing air
from the hydraulic system.
Velocity fuse: a safety device installed in the hose port of each cylinder. If a hose is punctured while the unit is
operating, the velocity fuse closes automatically. The chute remains stationary until pressure is reapplied to the
system.
Hydraulic fluid: HO150 hydraulic fluid. To replenish the fluid, add anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity grade of
150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) like AW-32 or Dexron transmission fluid.
Raising and Lowering the chute
To raise/tilt the chute, hold the hand control and press the UP button. In response,
the motor turns and rotates the gear pump. As the pump rotates, oil is drawn from the
reservoir, passes through the suction filter, and enters the pump.
The gear pump propels oil through the check valve to the lift cylinder.
UP
Releasing the UP button during operation immediately halts chute movement.
Additionally, an electrical upper travel limit switch automatically turns off the motor
when the chute reaches a 45° angle to the ground (horizontal).
To lower the chute, press the DOWN button.
Lowering valve opens which bypasses the check valve and allows oil in the cylinder
to flow to the reservoir (through return hoses). Oil flow to the reservoir is regulated by
the pressure compensated flow control valve. By regulating the volume of oil that can
flow through the spool, the speed at which the chute lowers is kept constant.
Releasing the DOWN button during operation causes all chute movement to stop.
The chute will remain in the same position until you press either button on the
pendant controller.
HAND CONTROL
Cleaning lowering solenoid valve
If the chute slowly loses elevation without pressing the DOWN button, lower the chute completely. Then, remove,
inspect, and clean the lowering cartridge valve in the following manner:
1. Lower the chute completely and turn off electrical power to the unit. If your dumper is AC powered, unplug the
electrical cord from the wall socket. If your unit is DC powered (battery), turn the key switch to the OFF position.
2. Unload the dumper.
3. Remove the nut that fastens the solenoid coil to the valve stem; then remove the coil and unscrew the valve
from the manifold.
4. Inspect the valve for blockage.
5. Inspect O-rings and back-up washers for cuts, tears, etc.
6. Submerge the valve in mineral spirits or kerosene.
7. Use a thin tool, such as a small screwdriver or a hex wrench, to push the poppet in and out several times from
the bottom end of the valve. The valve should move freely, about 1/16” between the closed and open positions.
If the poppet sticks, the valve stem might be bent. Replace the poppet if it doesn’t free up after cleaning.
8. Remove mineral oil from the valve with compressed air.
9. Move the poppet in and out.
10. Inspect the bottom of the valve cavity in the manifold for foreign matter.

11. With the thin tool, press the middle of the flow control spool, which is located in the bottom of the cavity. It
should move down and up smoothly.
12. Reinstall the valve in the manifold and tighten it to 20 lb·ft of torque.
Bleeding air from hydraulic system
If the chute lowers extremely slowly or does not lower, air in the cylinders might be the culprit. Air in the hydraulic
system causes the velocity fuse to close, which traps oil in the cylinder. To overcome this problem, air must be “bled”
from the system.
Completely lower the chute and unload it;
Locate the bleeder valve located at the top of the cylinder (it looks like a grease zerk). Hold a rag over the valve
and open it about a half turn with a 1/4” or 5/16” wrench. Oil and air will sputter from the valve. Jog the motor by
pressing the UP button for just a second. If air continues to escape from the bleeder valve, jog the motor several
more times. Wait at least 5 seconds between successive jogs.
Close the valve once air no longer is heard or seen bubbling out of the valve. At this point, just a clear stream of oil
is seen flowing from the bleeder valve. Close the valve.
Remove the cover from the modular power unit and check the oil level in the reservoir. If the surface of the oil is
lower than 1 to 1½ in. below the fill hole, then add oil until it is between 1 and 1½ inches of the fill hole. Add only
anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity grade of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) like AW-32 or Dexron
transmission fluid.

Inspections [TCD-M series dumpers]: (Refer to Exploded parts diagrams, p. 5-6)
After receiving the product and before putting it into service, visually inspect the entire structure. Make a written
record that describes the condition and appearance of the Modular power unit, frame, chute, retainers and rails,
handles, casters, safety guards, and fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.). Cycle the chute all the way up and back down.
Record observations about how the cylinder extends and retracts, how the chute rotates, and sounds heard. This
record establishes “normal condition”. During future inspections, compare your observations to the written record to
determine whether the dumper is in normal condition. Do not use the dumper unless it is in normal condition.
Before each use, inspect the listed components:
Chute
Modular power unit, pendant controller, wiring: Remove the
cover. Examine wires for frays, cuts, tears, etc. Inspect the oil
reservoir, hoses, and fittings for leaks, kinks, punctures (DCpowered units) Check battery charge status. Recharge the
battery, if necessary.
Hydraulic system: Check the hoses for pinches, kinks,
Handle
punctures, and leaks. Check connections with the cylinder for
leaks, etc.
Wheel cradles: Examine the cradles and cradle brackets for
damage such as bends and cracks. Each cradle should be
solidly fastened to the chute frame. Tighten loose bolts and
nuts.
Frame: Check the welds and overall condition of the safety
guards, pivot points, cylinder brackets (on the frame and the
chute), handles, and chute. Look for cracks, damaged welds,
severe wear, and corrosion.

Troubleshooting Guide
DO NOT attempt to resolve any issue discussed below UNTIL the chute is fully lowered and the
power supply is disconnected.
Issue: Possible cause(s): Solution:
1. Power unit doesn’t run when UP
button is pressed.
2. Motor runs properly, but chute
doesn’t move. Motor and pump are
quiet.
3. Motor hums, chatters, or buzzes, or
some type of squeal can be heard,
but the chute either does not move
or only moves very slowly.
4. Chute elevates, then drifts down. 4. See 3e above. 4. Same as 3e.
5. Chute lowers too slowly. 5a. Flow control spool is stuck.
6. Chute lowers too quickly. 6a. See 3e.
