Warnings & Safety Rules

1.1 Warnings

Do not put your hands or feet under the load tray. All unconcerned personnel should be more than 60 cm away from the unit while the rolls are in transit, or being lifted. Do not move the unit while a load is being raised. Do not move the unit without securing the rolls with the straps. Do not move the unit with tray raised more than a couple inches to avoid tip overs and vision obstruction. Do not operate the lifter if the straps are frayed or damaged. Do not put your foot in front of the swivel wheel; injury could occur when the load is lowered. Do not operate the machine beyond its rated capacities, or outside of the machines’ normal operation. Do not operate the media lifter on uneven surfaces. Do not lift persons. People could fall and suffer severe injury.

1.2 Caution

Operators should read and understand the instructions before using the On-A-Roll Lifter® to avoid injury. The On-A-Roll Lifter® is used to lift or lower rolls of media (e.g. paper rolls) within specified capacity and should not be used for other functions. Do not operate unless you have been trained or authorized to do so. Do not lower the load at fast speed, as it creates unsafe conditions. Care should be given to the balance and orientation of loads. Unbalanced or shifting loads can cause danger to the operator or bystanders. If the load becomes unstable, stop work immediately. The weight of the roll should be distributed evenly on the load tray. The center of gravity of the goods should be in the center of the load tray width. Do not modify or repair the unit without written consent from the manufacturer. Remove the loaded goods from the lifter and use safety breaks to prevent the lifer from moving when servicing it. This lifter is not designed to be water resistant. If not in use, please store in dry conditions and lower the load tray to the lowest position for stability.

1. Understand and practice the principles of safe machine operation specified in this manual:

• Avoid hazardous situations
• Always perform a pre-operation inspection
• Always perform the function tests (see step 2.1) prior to use
• Inspect the workplace

2. Read, understand and obey:

• Manufacturer’s instructions and safety rules
• Employer´s safety rules and worksite regulations
• Applicable governmental regulations

To avoid hazardous situations:

• Do not overload the lifter
• Make sure media roll is balanced on the Load Tray and steady
• The media roll is secured with two straps
• Do not raise the load unless the machine is on a firm, level surface
• Do not move the lifter with the raised load, except for minor positioning
• Do not tilt the lifter back with raised load
• Do not operate the lifter in strong and gusty winds
• Prior to use, inspect the work area for drop-offs, holes, bumps, debris, unstable surfaces or other possible hazardous conditions
• Do not subject the lifter to horizontal force by raising or lowering a fixed or overhanging load
• The lifter can only be used in a lighted environment at least 50LUX

Collision Hazards:

• Do not lift the load if not properly centered on the Load Tray
• Check the work area for overhead obstruction or other possible hazards
• Do not stand under or allow personnel under the lifter when the load is raised
• Do not lower the load unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions

Warnings & Safety Rules

Daily Inspection

2.1 What to check before operation

It is the operator’s responsibility to make sure that the On-A-Roll Lifter® is inspected daily to ensure safe operation:

Check the On-A-Roll Lifter® before operation:

Inspect the vertical guide rails, load tray, carriage and hydraulic components for damage, including bending, cracking and loose or missing hardware. Do not use the On-A-Roll Lifter® if any faults are discovered during your visual inspection. Inspect the hydraulic system and nearby surfaces for evidence of leaks. Discontinue use if leaking is evident. Inspect the (4) caster wheels for damage and smooth operation. Wheels should rotate and swivel smoothly, and should not be cracked, chipped or broken. Do not use if wheels are damaged or broken. Check the function of the brake. Ensure the parking brakes on the rear casters are working properly. Ensure all hardware is present and fitted correctly. Inspect/tighten any loose fasteners or hardware.

Caution: Do not use the unit if any malfunction or fault is found.
