Using Dumper Safely

Before using a mini dumper, wear the proper safety gear and personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes:

  • Eye protection, like safety glasses or goggles
  • Protective Gloves
  • Ear protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs
  • Safety boots

Depending on your project and the materials you are moving, you might also need the following:

  • A dust mask

The Mechmaxx mini dumper is crafted so that the electromagnetic brake will instantly stop if you let go of the safety handle in risky situations. 

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Mini Dumper Correctly

Here is a step-by-step guide to make use of mini dumper effectively.

  1. Nature of Dumper

Electric Dumper: Fed up with fueling your dumper every time? Mechmaxx brings you a solution with its electric mini dumper. The dumper comes with a rechargeable battery, that solely works on electricity. Plus, you can charge the battery outdoors with a manual brake flip.

Diesel Engine Dumper: Before using, check the oil level of the dumper. If necessary, fill it with unleaded petrol. If you are adding fuel after using it, first let it cool. Otherwise, it can be dangerous. 

  1. Starting the Engine

To start an engine, press a red lever on the left. The red lever acts as a safety switch to ensure everything starts up safely. 

  1. Controlling Direction

There is also a black handle near the red one. Compress it to make the dumper move forward or backward, depending on your desired gear.

  1. Gear Lever Control

Just right ahead, there is a gear lever with six settings. If you pull it back, you will put the machine in reverse.  

  1. More Settings

If the dumper is not moving, you might have put it on neutral. Above neutral, there are three settings for moving forward. The slowest setting is at position one, and the fastest is at position three. With Mechmaxx 3-gear forward speed, you can choose the right forward speeds depending on different conditions.

  1. Right Speed

Choosing the right speed for your comfort and safety is important. When using the mini dumper, adjust its speed based on the terrain you are driving on. Start slowly and gradually increase your speed as you feel more comfortable.

  1. Four-Wheel Drive Control

Worried about driving a dumper on an uneven road? The two grey levers on the sides of the machine control the four-wheel drive function. When you lift both levers, it boosts traction for better movement on tough terrain. Lowering the levers reduces traction,  useful on stable surfaces like concrete or paving. Our Mechmaxx dumper has rear wheel locking pins that keep the trolley in a straight line, ensuring stability.

  1. Dumper Throttle Control

On the other handle, the throttle has four settings.

  • Off Position: Pulling the handle back will turn off the engine
  • Choke Activation: Push the engine cord to activate the choke; only needed when starting the dumper
  • Engine Speed Control: Push towards the tortoise icon to lower the engine speed
  • Push towards the hare icon to increase the engine speed

Mechmaxx thumb throttle is designed to ensure a comfortable grip while accelerating.

  1. Dumper Skip

While emptying the contents of the mini dumper, you can use the counterbalancing system to tip the skip forwards. This will release the handle and allow you to lift the dumper upwards which enables releasing the load. After dumping, you must manually move the skip back to its starting position. Plus, with Mechmaxx mini dumper, you can effortlessly carry up to 1100lbs of weight.

Extra Tip:

If you still have doubts or questions, please review the instructions manual with your mini dumper. This manual will provide detailed information and guidance on the safe and proper use of the machine, ensuring a secure and efficient working experience.
