General Safety Information
WARNING:
WESCO Pallet Leveler is designed to
automatically maintain a load at the ideal
height for loading or unloading. To insure
proper use, the following instructions must
be adhered to:
1.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when setting up
and operating your Pallet Leveler.
2.
Do not exceed the rated capacity. The rated
capacity is the total weight of both the pallet and
the
load.
3.
Do not use this unit with damaged or broken pallets.
4.
Never operate the unit if the load is off center.
5.
Never sit or ride on the turntable.
6.
Keep a safe distance from the the turntable when it
is
moving.
7.
When installing the fi rst (black) spring, have an
additional person to assist.
8.
When installing the fi rst (black) spring, use the
shock absorber pivot pin to support the frame
(Figure 1). This will prevent the frame from a
sudden
drop.
9. Make sure after installing springs that they are
seated properly and that the spring locks are in
place.
10. When placing load on unit, make sure the
unit is supporting the weight, not the fork lift,
before removing the fork lift.
11. When removing a load with a fork lift, make
sure that the load is clear of the Pallet Lev
eler before moving the fork lift. If the load is
not clear of the Pallet Leveler, it may
suddenly release when the fork lift is
moved.
12. Never move the Pallet Leveler when it is
loaded. This would damage the base frame
since the fork pockets are designed to
support the weight of the unit, not the
extra load weight.
Start-up
1. Choose the place where you want to mount the
unit. The Pallet Leveler must be set up on a
clean
and
fl at surface. Use optional leveling
pads
P/N 273000 to compensate for uneven fl oors.
2. Remove the plastic ties which secure the unit
to the base frame. Unpack three springs.
Remove all packing materials.
3. Check that frame of the unit is sitting fi rmly on
the
fl oor. Pallet Leveler must be stable and
level. If unit is not level within 1/2" you must
use the optional leveling pads P/N 273000.
4. Remove the springs and place them on the
fl oor.
Installing the springs:
1. The Pallet Leveler can handle loads up to
4500 lbs. In order to adjust the Pallet Leveler
to adapt to different loads, the springs are
changed per the weight and height of the fully
loaded pallet. The Pallet Leveler may have
one to three springs, depending on the load.
