2 Overview Congratulations on your purchase of a Simpro Multi-Tip. The Multi-Tip is everything a bin lifter should be - safe, reliable, cost-effective and easy to use. With a huge 150kg capacity and 15-second tipping cycle, it is ideal for operations where a light-duty mobile bin-tipping machine is required.
‘R se’ b Construction The Multi-Tip consists of a steel frame with one vertical mast, a bin cradle, one hydraulic ram, guarding, castor wheels, powerpack cover, grab handle with control buttons, power lead or battery, hydraulic powerpack and control systems.
> 150kg 10,000 cycles Noise emissions The noise emissions of the Multi-Tip bin lifter in standard operation have been assessed as not exceeding ~60 dB(A) ’s e . Operators are not required to wear hearing protection but are recommended to do so if using the machine on a constant basis.
If the machine is to be leased, then this manual shall accompany the machine. Simpro reserves the right to modify the design of the machine. If there is anything in this manual that is not consistent with the actual machine, the actual machine should be considered correct and the manual is only for reference.
3 Safety The Multi-Tip has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease-of-use and versatility of the machine. A comprehensive Hazard and Risk Assessment must be undertaken before the Multi- Tip is used for the first time, as described in Section 3.3.
Once the Risk Factor has been calculated, the Risk Evaluation can be determined from the following table: Risk Factor 6-10 11-50 101-500 501-1000 1001 + Risk Neglig Very Very Unacce Significant High Extreme Evaluation ible high ptable User Manual | Simpro Multi-Tip® Original Instructions | English | v17.0 | November 2018 | Page...
Identified Hazards The following common hazards have been identified with the Multi-Tip design. For each hazard, a full Risk Evaluation has been completed, and suitable control measures described. Blank template spaces are provided at the end for machinery owners to identify, assess and control additional site-specific hazards.

5 Maintenance The Multi-Tip is designed to give many years of service with minimal maintenance. In the event a fault or malfunction does occur, refer to the Quick Trouble Shooting Guide in Section before contacting your agent for service. A Service Manual giving testing and repair instructions is available on request from Simpro.
Cleaning The Multi-Tip may be cleaned with a low-pressure water jet, a cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Cleaning should be done with the cradle in the fully lowered position. Do not clean the Multi-Tip with a high-pressure water jet or waterblaster.
Cradle jams while lowering If the cradle jams on the way down, or has jammed on the way up but will not come down, it may be due to a hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical fault. 5.3.2.1 Hydraulic or electrical fault When the SAFETY and LOWER buttons are pressed simultaneously, the lowering valve should ‘c ck’...

5. Detach the forklift/hoist from the cradle, and test to see if the cradle lowers correctly. 6. Run the machine through several full cycles to ensure the problem has been properly resolved. User Manual | Simpro Multi-Tip® Original Instructions | English | v17.0 | November 2018 | Page...
Battery state indicator The Multi-Tip is fitted with a digital voltage readout on the control panel, which is used to indicate the state of the batteries. Because the voltage will fluctuate when the machine is operated (as some power is drawn by the motor), the battery state should be checked only while the machine is at rest.
Section 2.4. The Multi-Tip uses an IEC C13 power lead, which connects to the IEC C14 socket on the machine. These IEC leads are used for many household appliances and are widely available from electronics stores. They are sometimes known as ‘ke e e s’.
Hydraulic system Powerpack The hydraulic powerpack is supplied as a complete unit. The motor, pump, oil tank, and all control valves are mounted into the centre manifold. Control valves The hydraulic system has four primary control valves: 1. Check valve 2.
Circuit diagrams 12VDC battery circuit diagram Non-standard machines with 1-phase or 3-phase powerpacks have different electric circuits.

Moving When the Multi-Tip is standing upright it may be easily moved on its castor wheels, using the large grab handle provided. To ensure stability the bin cradle should be positioned just off the ground when moving the machine.
4. Charge the battery and apply a suitable contact oil to the electrical contacts. 5. Turn the key switch and the Master Isolator switch to the OFF position. User Manual | Simpro Multi-Tip® Original Instructions | English | v17.0 | November 2018 | Page...
