UIDELINES
Read the entire manual before you use the cart dumper for the first time and before each subsequent use.
Refer to the manual for safe use and maintenance procedures described on p. 7-12. If questions remain
after you finish reading the manual, contact Vestil for answers. DO NOT attempt to resolve any problems
with the dumper unless you are certain that it will be safe to use afterwards. NEVER modify the product
in any way without the express, written approval of Vestil.
• Electrocution Risk: DO NOT contact live electrical wires with the cart dumper, cart (trash bin) or lift
truck!
• DO NOT exceed the dumper’s maximum rated load of 1,000lbs (~455kg). DO NOT overload the TH-64
container, which is rated for loads of 55lbs. or less.
• ALWAYS inspect the dumper before each use according to the inspection instructions on p. 10. ONLY use
the dumper if it passes the inspection.
• 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 Z245.60-2008.
• 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 carts or carts that are overloaded. 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 stand on or ride the dumper, or in a cart engaged by
the dumper.
• NEVER modify or alter the dumper in any way without express, written authorization from Vestil.
