Bumpa Operating Instructions

Select a suitable level area to open machine. Always check for overhead obstructions i.e. branches, cables etc. prior to opening machine. Use trestle supplied to rest hinge.

Lock wheel brakes on (fig 1) then with man 1 standing on the hoop at the base of machine, man 2 raises the opposite end until machine bottoms on base hoop (fig 2).

Release antiluce catches (fig 3) and walk top boom approx 5 - 6 paces apart then place on ground (fig 4).

With man 2 supporting the machine, man 1 releases the brakes and walks the base backwards (fig 5) until the machine is fully open.

Remove clip and withdraw hinge pin from belt retaining spring (fig 6) then replace pin through hinge (fig 7).

The machine can now be raised to the roof/scaffold either by rope or by walking the head up a ladder. The base is guided and positioned by man 1.

Once the machine head is on the scaffold, the stand can be positioned and fixed either to the scaffold boards (fig 8) or roof. Alternatively, the head can be clamped to the handrail using the clamp provided (fig 9). Ensure returning belt carrier clears scaffold before starting machine and that remote handset is plugged in at head.

With the machine secured at the scaffold the delivery shute is now fitted by slotting in the shute to the head lugs, then rotating to the required angle, extended and fixed (fig 10). N.B. 10m machines must have the centre support prop fitted prior to loading. Fitting the motor (petrol version)
