Ensign Box Dumper Operations & Maintenance Ops & Maint – Reliant Dumpers_Rev17.02.23
Installation: First, anchor the dumper to the floor. We recommend 1/2” x 4” anchor bolts (minimum) for cement floors.
WARNING: This equipment should be installed by qualified personnel. Follow all local codes and safety requirements. Do not operate equipment until it is anchored to the floor.
Connect the power source to the terminal block located inside the control box. When initially powering the dumper, check the motor rotation per the arrow on the motor shroud. If the motor is not turning in the correct direction, you are probably out of phase and will need to check wiring (if unit is 240V or 480V three phase).
Verify operation by running the unit empty a few cycles. Even though the dumper is thoroughly tested at Ensign, you will want to check the anchor bolts and condition of all moving components before lifting material.
Operation: The standard controls are momentary push buttons. To start the unit, press and hold the “UP” button. To stop the unit at any point during the cycle, simply release the “UP” button. A limit switch will automatically stop the tilt at the end of the up cycle. To return the unit to the rest position, depress and hold the “DOWN” button.
To adjust the down speed, there is a flow control valve located near the hydraulic pump. If needed, turn the knob clockwise to slow the descent and counter clockwise to speed it up. It is preset at the factory and should not need adjustment.
The adjustable hold down bar should be positioned no more than 4” above your container. Excessive space between the bar and the container could result in a safety hazard or damage to your dumper.
WARNING: All lock-out / tag-out and other safety precautions should be taken prior to performing any maintenance. Ensure there is zero pressure in the hydraulic system before servicing.
Maintenance: Follow the service intervals listed below to ensure a long and maintenance free life.
