Step 5: Stow the Chute Release Handle. Feed the release cable through the fork carriage; attach the handle to the
cage of the forklift in a location that will prevent the cable from getting in your way while driving the fork truck.

Step 6: Engage a trash cart with the dumper. Roll the cart to the front of the dumper, pivot the cart away from the
dumper, and set the axle of the cart in the axle brackets (20) as shown in photos 9 & 10.

The size of the wheels may prevent the axle from settling into the bottom of the brackets. Step 8
addresses this situation.
Step 7: Secure the top of trash cart. Loosen the knobs (6) that hold the adjustment bracket weldment (4) in position
relative to the upright frame (2) by turning them counterclockwise. Lower the bracket weldment until it makes solid
contact with the handle. Turn the knobs clockwise to secure the bracket weldment to the frame.
Lower the adjustment
bracket weldment (4)
onto the handle of the
trash cart.
Step 8: Adjust the connection between the bracket weldment and the cart handle. Raise the forks just a few inches
off of the ground so that the wheels of the cart no longer contact the ground. Instead, ask a coworker to check the
connection between the brackets and the cart axle, as well as the connection between the cart handle and the
adjustment bracket weldment. If the handle and bracket weldment have separated, your coworker must repeat step 7
to secure the cart to the dumper.
Step 9: Drive the lift truck to the dump site. Make sure that the path of travel to the dump site is clear of people and
debris.
