Dumpmasters are fully guarded and have a locking door. Various door styles are used, depending on the application. The most common type on the Dumpmaster is side-hinged with a single door lock. Some machines have a ‘Lift-up’ door which is supported on 4 arms and balanced by gas struts.
3 Troubleshooting Guide Faults generally fall into one of three broad categories - Electrical, Hydraulic, or Mechanical. The first step in troubleshooting should be to determine which category the fault comes under. Issue Possible Cause Category Action / Reference Battery Discharged (battery Refer to Section 4.3 or 4.4 machines only) Faulty door lock or wiring...

Check tightness of all bolts. If lifting slowly, Pump bolts loose, seal leaking problem persists, seal may or oil foaming need to be replaced. Contact Simpro to request Cracked housing replacement powerpack. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 8...
4 Electrical System General Description The standard Dumpmaster control circuit is 24v DC (however on certain older 3-phase machines it may be 24v AC). On new machines the control buttons switch the negative side of the motor contactor/relay and lowering coil. The positive side of the circuit is switched off when the door is open.
4. Undo the red cable from the outer battery and slide it out. 5. Undo the black cable and slide the ‘inner’ battery out. 6. Install in reverse order, ensuring all four terminal bolts are tight. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 10...
Battery Charger Battery Charger •Fitted into steel bracket in battery compartment •Works with any mains supply between 110-240v •Digital battery management to prevent overcharging 4.4.1 Testing If the battery does not hold its charge, or will not accept a charge, the fault could be either the battery or the charger.
1. Disconnect the wires from the relay, noting their position for correct replacement. 2. Remove the screws or band clamp holding the relay on to the motor. 3. Replace the relay, reconnect the wires and test. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 12...
Lowering Valve Solenoid Lowering Valve Solenoid •When open, this electromagnetic valve allows oil to flow back into the reservoir, lowering the cradle 4.6.1 Testing 1. Remove the outer powerpack cover as described in Section 4.2. 2. The solenoid should make a faint ‘click’ when the ‘Lower’ switch is pressed, and an LED in the plug should glow.
6. To refit, first replace the top section in the cover, and then clip the lower section on. Note that these can only be fitted in the correct orientation. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 14...
The lock should be re-enabled using this key before use. The door lock can be retrofitted to some older Dumpmaster models. If required by a Hazard and Risk Assessment or the end-user’s site policies, Dumpmasters may be fitted with a system which continuously monitors all electrical equipment including the door lock.
3. If replacing with another motor, swap the adaptor flange and coupling over to the new motor. 4. When reassembling the powerpack, ensure the motor coupling lines up with the pump shaft. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 16...
There are dozens of parameters that can be set to suit specific applications. A list of settings is available from Simpro if needed. They can be connected to and calibrated by a PC that has the appropriate program and cable drivers loaded.
The motors have four brushes which wear down over time. As the brushes are difficult and time- consuming to replace, it is usually better to fit a complete new motor. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 18...

5 Hydraulic Powerpack General Description The hydraulic powerpacks used in Dumpmaster bin-tippers are very reliable and long-lasting, and require little regular maintenance. The motor driving the pump is either 24vdc/0.8kW or 3-phase/ 0.75kW. The motor, pump, oil tank, and all control valves are mounted into an integral unit. The four main control valves are: check valve, pressure-relief valve, solenoid lowering valve, and pressure-compensating lowering speed valve.
4. New oil may be put into the tank before refitting, or after. If oil is put in before, keep the level at least 30mm below the filler. 5. Remount the powerpack, and test-run the machine. 6. Refit the outer cover. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 24...
Lowering Valve Lowering Valve •When activated, allows hydraulic oil to flow back into the tank, lowering the cradle •Exploded view showing cartridge, coil, retainer nut and DIN plug 5.4.1 Removal and Refitting 1. Unscrew the retainer nut and slide the coil off. 2.
5.7.1 Removal and Refitting 1. Remove the screw cap 2. Using tool supplied by Simpro, carefully unwind the check valve cartridge. 3. Clean thoroughly. 4. Refitting is the reversal of this process.
5. If there is a pinhole leak in a weld, it is generally best to fit a complete replacement ram body, and return the faulty one to Simpro for repair. If this is not feasible, mark the location of the hole, and grind a groove at least 3mm...
The hose-burst valve operates if the flow out of the ram exceeds approximately 10 litres/min. If it does lock, the hose must be repaired, then the ram extended slightly to reopen the valve. The valve cartridge may be unscrewed from the port with a tool available from Simpro. Service Manual...
2. The ‘base-to-bar’ length of the hydraulic ram, as shown in the diagram below. 3. The ‘base-to-groove’ length of the hydraulic ram, as shown in the diagram below. This information is essential for a correct replacement ram to be supplied. Simpro is not liable for costs caused by incorrect or inaccurate ram measurement.

7 Bin Cradle General Description The standard bin-cradle consists of a pressed frame designed to hold plastic two-wheeled bins from 80l-240l. The main axle locates into ‘sliding plates’ inside each mast, and the ‘roller arm’ pivots on a bar near the top of the cradle. The roller arm has a ‘follower roller’ that runs on a specially shaped ‘tipping track’.
Cradle Jamming Use the following procedures to identify and solve issues with cradle jamming or sticking. Note that the Dumpmaster cradle is not powered down, it is lowered by gravity alone. 7.3.1 Cradle jams at top of cycle 1. Check that the lowering valve solenoid is operating as per Section 4.6.
8 Guarding and Door 8.1 Mesh Guarding and Side-hinge Door Mesh side guards have a square steel tube frame, and are used with side-hinge doors only. A plastic bung with an 11mm hole at the ‘top inner corner’ locates onto a 10mm rod welded to the mast. Another plastic bung with a 10mm steel pin moulded in at the ‘lower inner corner’...
To remove, lever out with a screwdriver. To refit, the plate must be bent; clip the ends in then tap the plate flat with a hammer. Service Manual | Simpro Dumpmaster | v25.0 | February 2017 | Page 34...
9 General Lifting Chains Dumpmaster bin tippers have two lifting chains; they are attached to the ram mount bracket by means of adjusting (levelling) bolts, and to the ‘sliding plates’ which run inside the masts. The chain is nickel-plated ½” British Standard Simplex (08B-1). The chains go around rollers on the bottom end of the ram, then up to the ‘top roller’;...
