Step 10: Empty the trash cart. Photographs 11-15 demonstrate use of the dumper to empty a trash cart into a
moveable hopper. The fork lift operator approached the front of the hopper, and raised the forks to an appropriate
height to avoid contact with the lip of the hopper (circled in photos 11 & 12). The operator drove the lift forward so
that the dumper overhung the hopper by at least the width (W) of the trash cart as shown in photos 11 & 13. With the
cart in position, the operator pulled the release cable, and the contents of the cart dumped into the hopper.
Note: A pin slides over the top of the cart axle on both sides when the cable is pulled. These pins prevent the cart
from jostling out of the axle brackets during dumping.

Step 11: Reset the dumper. Adjust the height of the forks as necessary to avoid contact between the cart and the
receptacle. Back away from the receptacle (or dump site), and lower the forks until the lid of the cart or top of the
upright frame (2) is a few inches from the ground. Your coworker should rotate the container engaging assembly (see
“Parts List,” p. 6) back to the cart-carrying position (photos 17 & 18). You should hear the chute latch fasten to the
latch crossbar as shown in photos 19a and 19b.
