SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of its products, but no manual can address every conceivable risk. Minimize the likelihood of injury by observing the hazards identified below and by inspecting and maintaining the product as instructed in INSPECTIONS & MAINTNENANCE on p. 20.

WARNING

Risks of serious personal injuries or death. Always apply material handling techniques learned during training and use the product properly.

• Read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product.
• Before using this (forklift) front end attachment, you must contact the manufacturers of all forklifts that will use it to request: 1) written approval; and 2) markings for each forklift that identify the coil carrier AND give the approximate weight of the forklift and carrier at maximum elevation with a laterally-centered load. DO NOT use the carpet ram until your forklifts are marked.
• Read and understand the entire manual before installing, using, or servicing the product. Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use, inspection, and maintenance procedures whenever necessary.
  • DO NOT exceed the capacity of your unit. See LABELING DIAGRAM, label 1153 on p. 5.
• Inspect the carpet pole before each use as described in INSPECTIONS on p. 4-5.
• Before attaching the carpet ram to the carriage of your fork lift, inspect the carriage and confirm that all parts are structurally sound and in satisfactory condition. See RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION on p. 4.
• Always connect the safety chain to the carriage of your forklift without slack. The unit must not be able to slide on the forks.
• Verify that the load is stable by lifting the carpet just a few inches above the ground. Load swing should be minimal and the carpet pole should not shift on the forks. If the load is not stable while elevated, return it to the ground and use another device to transport it.
• ALWAYS apply the rules governing use of (forklift) front end attachments applied at your work site.
• DO NOT cover or remove any label. Verify the location and legibility of all labels. Label placement is shown in the LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 5. DO NOT use this device UNLESS all product labels are readable and undamaged.
  • DO NOT ride or sit on the carpet pole.
• DO NOT use the carpet pole to push objects. Only use the product to transport a roll of carpet.
• ONLY use this product when traveling on firm, level, even ground.
• Carpet roll must not be longer than the pole. The carpet roll must not hang over the end of the pole. See USING THE CARPET RAM on p. 4 for loading instructions.
• DO NOT leave elevated rolls of carpet unattended. Always lower the load to the ground before leaving the forklift.
• DO NOT modify the carpet pole in any way UNLESS you first obtain written approval from Vestil. Unauthorized modifications automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY (see p. 6) and might make the product unsafe to use.

NATIONAL STANDARDS

According to US Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Rule 1910.178 (29 CFR 1910.178; the "Rule"), this device is a front end attachment for a lift truck whenever it is mounted on the forks of a lift truck. The Rule incorporates American National Standard ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 (the "Standard") published by the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation (ITSDF) on its website (www.itsdf.org). The standard is freely downloadable at http://www.itsdf.org/cue/b56-standards.html. Before putting this drum carrier into service, you must acquire a copy of the Standard. Apply all relevant parts of Part II: For the User. Lift truck users must mark/label the truck to identify the boom, show the weight of the truck and boom combination, and show the capacity of the truck with the boom at maximum elevation with the load laterally centered. If instructions in this manual conflict with instructions in the Standard then the instructions in the Standard should be applied. Please contact our TECHNICAL SERVICE department if you believe that these instructions conflict with the Standard. Contact information for TECHNICAL SERVICE appears on the cover page of this manual.

USING THE CARPET RAM

Step 1: Drive forward and insert the forks of your lift truck into the fork tubes of the frame. Drive until the frame contacts the heels of the forks. Drive until the ends of the fork pockets contact the heels of the forks. NOTE: In the photo (right), the forks have not been fully inserted to improve clarity of features.

Step 2: To prevent the ram from sliding on the forks, attach the safety chain (item 6 on p. 3) to the carriage of your lift truck without slack.

Step 3: Insert the pole into a roll of carpet. Drive forward until the end of the roll contacts the frame gussets. The yellow end of the pole must extend beyond the end of the roll. Do not use the carpet ram to lift and/or move a carpet roll unless the pole is long enough to extend beyond the end of the carpet roll.

Step 4: Raise the forks only as high as necessary to lift the roll of carpet off of the ground and to avoid contact with objects during transport. DO NOT leave a raised roll unattended. Always unload the carpet ram before leaving the forklift.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION

Before using the ram for the first time, make a written record of its appearance. Describe the condition of the frame, pole, clamping bolts, safety chain, and snap hook. Take photographs of each item and add them to the record. Take photographs of all labels applied to the ram. Describe where each label is located. This record establishes satisfactory condition. When conducting the following inspections, compare your observations to the record to determine if a component is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the carpet ram unless every component is in satisfactory condition. Cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs.

INSPECTIONS

Inspections and repairs should only be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (the "RECORD"). Do not use the carpet ram unless all parts are in satisfactory condition. Replace parts that are not in satisfactory condition before returning the ram to service. DON'T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your ram, contact the TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual. Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts. Only use manufacturer-approved replacement parts. Replace the entire unit if it cannot be restored to satisfactory condition.

Before each use — perform the following inspections.

1. Check the surface of the pole for dirt or other matter.
2. Confirm integrity of hardware & fasteners, i.e. bolts, nuts, pins, snap hook, quick link, et al.
3. Abnormal, unstable or noisy movement during use.
4. Examine pole and pole clamp for looseness or excessive wear, damage, or indications of metal fatigue.
5. Inspect the fork tubes for damage such as severe wear, thinned walls, significant corrosion, and warps.
6. Confirm that the safety chain is in satisfactory condition. Look for broken, elongated, and twisted links.
7. Check all labels. See LABELING DIAGRAM on p. 5. Replace labels that are damaged or not easily readable.
8. Examine the whole structure for rusting/metal erosion. Remove rust/corrosion with a steel bristle brush or steel wool. Clean the area and apply touchup paint.

Annual evaluation — At least once per year, authorized inspection personnel should use the carpet pole to list a full capacity load. Afterwards, conduct a Frequent Inspection to confirm that the product is in satisfactory condition.

MAINTENANCE

End-users should implement a maintenance program to ensure that the product functions properly and is adequately maintained. The OSHA "General Industry" standard for "Powered industrial trucks" (29 CFR 1910.178) provides recommended maintenance procedures for front end attachments. The following steps should be utilized in conjunction with those procedures. ONLY trained, authorized personnel or contractors should perform inspection, maintenance, or repair work.

NOTE: The end-user is responsible for selecting and training employees to work on the carpet ram. "Work on" means use, inspect, and maintain the product.

Step 1: Tag the ram, "Out of Service."

Step 2: Remove any dirt or other matter from all surfaces.

Step 3: Conduct a "Before each use" inspection. If deformity, corrosion, rusting, or excessive wear is found, DO NOT use the product. Permanently remove it from service.

Step 4: Perform all necessary adjustments, replacements and/or repairs but DO NOT modify the ram.

NOTE: The reader should understand the significant difference between necessary adjustments and repairs, and modifications. An "adjustment" is a simple correction that restores the device to satisfactory condition, such as tightening loose fasteners, or removing dirt or other debris from the surface. "Repair" refers to removing worn parts and installing replacement parts. A "modification" is a change that alters the carpet pole from satisfactory condition, like bending the structural members or removing a part or several parts. NEVER modify the device without the express, written approval of Vestil. Modifications might make the device unsafe to use and automatically void the LIMITED WARRANTY on p. 6.

Step 5: Make a dated record of any repairs, adjustments and/or replacements.
