SAFETY

These instructions use signal words to direct the user's attention to important safety-related messages. These messages describe uses of the product that could result in personal injury or property damage. Each signal word corresponds to a specific hazard level.

STOP

WARNING! Improper or careless use could result in serious personal injuries or death.

• Before using this product, 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 pole until forklifts are marked.
• Read and understand these instructions before installing, using or servicing the product. Read the instructions to refresh your understanding of proper use, inspection and maintenance procedures whenever necessary.

• Do not exceed the capacity or maximum rated load of unit. See label on the right side of the carriage back plate.

• Inspect the carpet pole before each use.

• Before attaching the carpet pole to the carriage of the forklift, inspect the carriage and confirm that all parts are structurally sound and in nominal condition.
• Always test the soundness of the connection between the carriage back plate of the carpet pole and the carriage of the fork truck before loading the carpet pole. Lift the roll a few inches above the ground. Load swing should be minimal, and the carpet pole should not shift. If the load is unstable, return it to the ground and use another piece of equipment to transport the carpet.
• Inspect the carpet pole before each use as described in the Maintenance section on page 3.

SAFETY CONTINUED

• Always apply the rules governing use of forklift front end attachments applied at work site.
- Do not cover or remove any label. Verify the location and legibility of all labels. 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 (i.e. the carpet roll must not hang over the end of the pole). See Operation on page 3 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 obtaining written approval from Uline. Contact Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 for assistance.

OPERATION

1. Engage a roll of carpet by driving forklift forward and inserting pole through center of roll. Drive forward until the roll contacts the roll stop (see parts diagram on page 2). User should see at least the yellow tip of pole. The carpet roll must not be longer than the pole. If roll is too long, use another device to transport it.

2. Raise forks only as high as necessary to lift roll of carpet off of the ground and to avoid contact with objects during transport. Always watch and listen to the pole for abnormalities during use. Do not leave a raised roll unattended. Always unload the carpet pole before leaving the forklift.

MAINTENANCE

End-users should implement a maintenance program to ensure 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. The following steps should be utilized in conjunction with those procedures. Only trained, authorized personnel or contractors should perform inspection, maintenance and repair work.

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

1. Tag the carpet pole "Out of Service."
2. Remove dirt or other matter from all surfaces.
3. Conduct a "Before each use" inspection. If deformity, severe corrosion/rusting or excessive wear is found, do not use the product. Permanently remove it from service.

MAINTENANCE CONTINUED

1. Perform all necessary adjustments, replacements and/or repairs but do not modify the carpet pole.

NOTE: User should understand the significant difference between necessary adjustments and repairs, and modifications. An "adjustment" is a simple correction that restores the device to normal condition, such as tightening loose fasteners, or removing dirt or other debris from the surface. "Repair" refers to removing worn parts and installing manufacturer-approved replacement parts. A "modification" is a change that alters the carpet pole from normal condition, like bending the structural members or removing a part or several parts.

CAUTION! Never modify the device without the express, written approval of Uline. Contact Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 for assistance. Modifications might make the device unsafe to use and automatically void the limited warranty.

1. Make a dated record of any repairs, adjustments and/or replacements.
