Operating heavy lifting equipment like the Eagle Lift requires careful attention to safety and best practices. This guide provides comprehensive instructions on how to use the Eagle Lift effectively and safely, ensuring both productivity and protection for your team.

1. Understanding the Lift Cycle: The Eagle Lift’s operation begins with the lift arm, which provides 45 pounds of lifting assistance up to the mid-lift cycle. This is the point where the lift arm reaches a 90-degree angle. The springs in the lift are calibrated to offer this assistance, minimizing the effort needed from the operator. As the lift cycle progresses, the weight of the container is transferred to the wheels at the base of the lift, which are locked to the dumpster. Once the lift arm is fully inverted, all the weight of the container is supported by the base, allowing the operator to release the lift arm safely.

2. Proper Operator Positioning: To ensure safety and efficiency, the operator should stand with their shoulders squared to the dumpster. This positioning allows the operator to assist the lift through its cycle without the need to lift or twist. The Eagle Lift is designed to control the entire dump cycle, reducing physical strain and making the experience more manageable than manual lifting.

3. Key Safety Features: The Eagle Lift is equipped with several safety features to protect the operator:

• Lift Handle Safety Release: Prevents accidental operation when the lift is not secured to a dumpster.
• Stabilization Mechanism: Ensures the lift remains steady during use. Always ensure the lift is properly attached and secured before use.

4. Compatibility with Various Containers: The Eagle Lift is versatile and can accommodate container sizes ranging from 32 gallons to 64 gallons. The receiver is adjustable to securely fit these containers, ensuring smooth operation regardless of the container size.

5. Maintenance Tips: Regular maintenance is essential to keep the Eagle Lift in top condition:

• Check Integrity: Regularly inspect all moving parts.
• Tighten Bolts: Ensure springs and bolts are tight.
• Lubricate: Periodically lubricate the moving parts to keep them operating smoothly.
