4. If the machine is to be leased, sold, or otherwise transferred, then this manual shall accompany the machine. 5. This is a generic manual. Simpro reserves the right to change the design of our products at any time. In cases where a discrepancy exists between the manual and the actual product, the manual is to be used as a reference only.
2 . O p e rat i n g Instru ct io n s Before the machine is used for the first time, a site-specific Hazard and Risk Assessment should be completed as per §5.3. 2.1 Before operation Before operating a Dumpmaster, check the following points to ensure that the machine is stable and safe to use: 1.
2.2.2 Type-E Cradle 2.2.2.1 Emplacing bins Open the door and place the wheelie bin onto the cradle. For full-size 240L bins, both wheels should be positioned into a catch (on either side of the cradle). For smaller bins such as 60L, 80L, 120L and 140L, only the left-hand wheel needs be positioned into a catch.
2.2.7.2 Removing bins Open the door, and holding the upper lip of the bin, drum, or container, remove it from the cradle. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster® Original Instructions // English // v119.0 // October 2022 // Page...
2.3 Operation of controls The Dumpmaster controls are designed to allow safe, intuitive operation of the machine. It is important to understand how to use the controls correctly. Improper operation may result in a safety hazard, or damage to the machine. 2.3.1 Control Panel identification The Dumpmaster may be fitted with a variety of different controls, depending on the operational and safety requirements of the machine.
2. Open the door and place the full bin onto the cradle, taking care that it is properly positioned as per §2.2, then shut the door. 3. Turn the mode-selector switch to MANUAL. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster® Original Instructions // English // v119.0 // October 2022 // Page...
4. Press and hold the RAISE button until the bin reaches the inverted position, then release. Wait for the contents of the bin to empty. Release the RAISE/LOWER button or press the EMERGENCY STOP button to stop the cradle at any time. 5.

Once the cradle has lowered, the door is automatically unlocked for about 15 seconds. If the door re-locks, press the LOWER button to unlock it at any time. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster® Original Instructions // English // v119.0 // October 2022 // Page...
2.4 Safety Norms The following safety norms must be observed for the safe use of a Dumpmaster bin lifter. Only trained and authorised personnel may use the machine. Operators must read and obey all instructions displayed on the machine. Never operate the machine on soft ground, or ground with a slope ratio greater than 1:12.

Contact your agent in the first instance if repair or service work is required. All repair and service work must be carried out by qualified personnel. Replacement parts must be supplied by Simpro or an authorized Simpro agent, and must be of the same design and specification as the original parts.
IP ratings of the machine and major subcomponents. If it is necessary to clean underneath the cradle, the control system can be modified to allow this while maintaining operator safety – contact your Simpro agent for assistance. 3.3 Cradle jams Occasionally the cradle may become jammed at some point in the tipping cycle.
3.3.2 Cradle jams while lowering There are three types of problem which can prevent the cradle from lowering when the LOWER button is pressed: hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical faults. The cradle is not powered down – it is lowered by gravity alone. §3.7.6 for a schematic diagram of the hydraulic system.

3.4 Electrical System (battery) If you do not operate a battery-powered machine, please disregard this section. Battery Dumpmasters are supplied with two 12V/20Ah VRLA deep-cycle Gel batteries connected in series, a digital smart charger, and a series-wound 800W/24VDC motor. The control voltage is 24VDC.
Machines produced prior to 2020 were fitted with an 60A automotive blade-fuse instead 0790050101 of a circuit breaker. Fuses are available from Simpro or any auto-parts store. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster®...
3.4.9 Solar panel Complete Kit 0090040077 Panel 0250050530 Controller 0250050462 If you do not operate a machine with a solar panel, please disregard this section. The Dumpmaster can be fitted with a solar panel kit for use in off-grid locations. The 80W monocrystalline solar panel (dimensions 930x673x35mm) is mounted on an adjustable steel bracket at the top of the mast, and charges the battery via a 12V/24V digital regulator.
The Dumpmaster is fitted with a transformer to supply 24VDC current to the control systems. The input voltage and frequency are specified to suit standard 3-phase mains power in the intended country of use. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster® Original Instructions // English // v119.0 // October 2022 // Page...
3.6 Electrical System (1-phase mains) If you do not operate a 1-phase mains machine, please disregard this section. Dumpmasters powered by 1-phase mains electricity are generally the same as other models, but use a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to drive a 3-phase 2-pole electric motor, which drives the hydraulic pump.
Ensure the cradle is completely lowered before replacing the hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic reservoir has markings showing the recommended fill level. Do not fill beyond this level unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer. User Manual // Simpro Dumpmaster® Original Instructions // English // v119.0 // October 2022 // Page...
3.7.5 Maintenance After every 12 months of operation the hydraulic fluid should be drained and replaced, as per specifications in §3.7.4. The intake suction-filter and the lowering valve should also be removed and cleaned at this time. §3.10 for other preventative maintenance inspection procedures. 3.7.6 Hydraulic system schematic...
