Southworth PalletPal Pallet Inverter/Rotator
INSTALLATION &
INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
1. Before you start to install the machine, check for local codes and
ordinances, which may apply in your area. It is your responsibility
to obtain any necessary permits.
2. Read all of these installation instructions carefully. Be sure to
read and understand all of the warnings!
WARNING!
Protect the hydraulic power unit from rain or moisture.
If the electrical parts in the power unit get wet, workers
may be hurt by electrical shock or the electrical parts
may fail.
WARNING!
The electric motor in the Pallet Rotator can create sparks.
Do not install the hydraulic power unit in an area where
flammable gases may be present.
Positioning the lift
1. Remove the shipping material and unskid the machine.
2. Move the machine into position, supporting the base frame.
Mount the machine on a firm level surface, if necessary, insert
shims to level.
3. Adjust the clamping pressure to the desired load pressure using
the adjustable pressure knob on the side of the unit.
WARNING!
If the Pallet Rotator is mounted on an unstable surface,
it may tip over when in use. You may be hurt, and the
machine or the load may be damaged.
NOTICE
It is very important to keep the hydraulic oil free from
dirt, dust, metal chips, water and other contamination.
Most of the problems with hydraulic systems are caused
by contamination of the oil.
Electrical Connections
DANGER!
The Pallet Rotator may use a power supply of up to 460
Volt AC. This voltage can kill you. Do not work with the
electrical parts unless you are a qualified electrician.
1. A machine with a 115 Volt power unit needs to have a designated
outlet and breaker of at least 30 AMP service. Consult Customer
Service for performance concerns.
2. A machine designed for three phase AC, you must be sure the
pump and motor is turning in the right direction. The machine should
start to move quickly when you press the up or down button. If the
machine does not move in 2 or 3 seconds, do not try to operate the
machine! Exchange any two of the three phase leads. If this does
not correct the problem, please contact Southworth ‘s Customer
Service Department.
Testing
1. Check the level of the hydraulic oil. With the machine in the home
position the tank should be full, add oil if necessary.
2. Clear the area around the machine. Remove any loose wires,
lumber or other material that might get in the way of the machine
as it is in use.
3. Operate the rotator through its full range of motion and operate
the clamp and unclamp function. The rotator and clamp functions
should operate smoothly and quietly. Raise and lower the lift a few
times to check the clearances around the lift table.
WARNING!
As the machine moves, “pinch points” are created. If
you are standing too close to the machine when it is
moving, your arm or leg may be caught in the moving
parts and you may be hurt. Stay away from the pinch
points when the lift is moving.
Completing Installation
1. Test the machine with the rated load. If the machine does not
move and you hear a loud squealing noise, this means the pres -
sure relief valve is operating. Contact Southworth for instructions.
NOTICE
Do not continue to use the machine if this happens. The
pump will overheat very quickly and may be permanently
damaged.
NOTICE
Excessive clamping forces may damage the load. Re -
lease the clamp from the load before making any adjust-
ments.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Load dimensions and weight must be within the pa -
rameters of the Pallet Inverter – 4,400 lbs max, and
anywhere between 30” and 60” in height.
• Load must be placed into and removed from the In -
verter using a fork lift.
• Press and hold the Unclamp button until the opening
is large enough to accept the pallet load.
• Press and hold the Clamp button until the load is secure
within the platens of the Inverter.
• Press and hold the Clockwise or Counterclockwise
button until the pallet load is in the desired orientation.
• Press the Unclamp button until the pallet load is free
of the platens and can be removed with the fork lift.
When adjusting the clamping pressure on the SR-44 ensure the
load is in a safe position so none of the product will transition to
the operator. Adjust the pressure knob counter clockwise for lower
clamping forces and clockwise for higher clamping forces. Test the
load to ensure proper settings.
