WBT SUMO UNI LIFT, User And Safety Manual

Uni Lift Safety

The Sumo Uni Lift has been designed with user safety as priority, without reducing 

its capability or ease of use.

We recommend that a comprehensive hazard and risk assessment is carried out 

prior to the Uni Lift being used for the first time.

This machine should not be operated by anyone who has had no training or has 

not read the user manual thoroughly.

This machine should 

not

 be used to carry fully laden bins, this machine is 

designed to be positioned in an appropriate place with the foot brake applied 

safely and the wheelie bin should be brought to it. 

The Uni Lift has a number of safety features listed below:

1- The control arm has 2 positions, the first is to allow the machine to be moved 

around allowing the operator to have good control, with the arm in this position 

the controls will not operate so the hydraulic system will not function. To rotate the 

control arm the operator must physically lift the latching plate this will then allow 

the control arm to rotate thru 90 degrees. Once in position the latching plate drops 

back into place locking the control arm in position the controls can now be 

activated. The rotation of the control arm removes the operator from harm whilst 

the bin is being tipped.

2- To activate the electronic controls the centre button must be pressed 3 times in 

quick succession this will bring the control pad to life. To operate  the system 

follow the operating instructions on page

 8.

If the machine is left unattended for 

more than 10 seconds the electronic controls will automatically switch off. All the 

buttons on the control pad are momentary so when released the machine will 

automatically stop.

3- When the hydraulic system is in operation an audible beeper is also activated 

simultaneously to warn anyone nearby that the machine is in operation.

4- The footprint of the machine combined with the low centre of gravity ensure 

that the machine remain stable throughout the tipping cycle.

5- Pressure compensated flow control cartridges ensure that during the lowering 

cycle the machine is always under control even when handling a fully laden bin.
