every part of the inspection.

damaged or absent.
• DO NOT lift the hopper until it is securely connected
to the carriage of the fork truck with the safety chain.
• DO NOT fill the hopper with a load weighing more
than its capacity (2,000 lb.).

SAFETY
• Hoppers with lifting lugs can be lifted with overhead
hoists and cranes. DO NOT lift a hopper unless the
chute is securely latched to the frame. The hopper
must not be able to rotate while it is suspended.
• DO NOT allow people to ride on or in the hopper.
• DO NOT use the hopper if any product label is
unreadable, damaged, or missing. Contact Uline
Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 to order
replacement labels.
• Always apply proper (fork) lift truck operation
practices learned during your training program.
Before raising the hopper from the floor, tilt the (forklift)
mast toward the cab of the truck to ensure that the
hopper will not slide towards the tips of the forks.
• DO NOT modify the hopper in any way!
Modifications might make the hopper unsafe to use
and automatically void the limited warranty.
• DO NOT dump the hopper unless every person in the
vicinity is safely behind the forklift truck.
• DO NOT dump the hopper if the forklift is facing
down a slope. Only dump the hopper while parked
on a level surface.
• ALWAYS engage the caster brake when the hopper
is stationary or not in use.
