Page 3 Option:  Hooks may be fitted to hold the MegaDumper securely to the skip or hopper. Item V above (Customer’s responsibility):  The power supply to all mobile equipment should always be fitted with an RCD.
Page 4 The machine could tip over when the bin is raised. Control Method: The MegaDumper should only be used on flat, level ground. If ‘Skip hooks’ are provided these should be engaged in the skip at all times. If a ‘Skip or hopper’ proximity sensor is fitted the machine cannot be used unless it is in position.
