f.
The roller arms
pressing too tightly against the tipping tracks, due to
the cradle being either out of level, or not correctly centred in the masts.
4.
Rectify the problem by lubricating, repositioning, or straightening the components as
required. If the mast is bent, you may need to contact your agent for support.
5.
Close the door and test the machine to see if the cradle now lowers correctly.
6.
Re-enable the interlocks as per
, and run the machine through several
complete tipping cycles to ensure the problem has been fully resolved.

Electrical System (battery)
If you do not operate a battery-powered machine, please disregard this section.
Battery MegaDumpers are supplied with four 12V/20Ah deep-cycle gel VRLA batteries in an
external battery box, a digital smart charger, and a series-wound 800W/24VDC motor. The
control voltage is 24VDC.
The motor only runs when the RAISE button is pressed; the cradle is lowered by gravity alone.
As a rule, a full charge is sufficient to empty 15 tonnes of material, but this is dependent on
the tipping height and the condition of the batteries.
International conformance
The MegaDumper is fitted with a digital smart charger which accepts 1-phase mains power
at voltages of 85-264VAC and frequencies of 50/60Hz, with a maximum current draw of 3
Amps. This means the machine can be charged using a standard household power outlet in
almost any country around the world.
Voltmeter
The MegaDumper is fitted with a voltmeter on the control panel, which is used to indicate
the level of charge in the batteries.
When the voltmeter reads below 24 volts the batteries are
flat.
The machine should not be used, and should be recharged as soon as possible.
Because the voltage will fluctuate when the machine is operated, the charge level
should be checked while the machine is at rest.
Operating a machine with a flat battery may trigger the circuit breaker (see
) or
fuse. This is to prevent excessive current flow from damaging the electrical system.
