Spool Winding Trolley (SWT)

GENERAL SAFETY

• Read and understand all instructions and warnings before using or servicing this equipment.

• Keep these instructions for future reference.

• Spool Winding Trolley (SWT) units shall only be operated by suitable persons of at least 18 years of age, who have been trained in the proper and safe operation of the SWT and expressly certified/charged, in writing, by the user or their representative.

• Only One person is permitted to operate the SWT at any time.

• SWT units shall only be used indoors in an industrial setting on a hard, nonslip, and level floor without defects including but not limited to holes, gouges, cracks, drains or obstacles, comprised of concrete or other suitable industrial material meeting the minimum requirements specified by BHS as well as any local requirements.

• SWT units are not designed to be shipped or transported after initial delivery and setup.

• SWT units are designed for use with multiple types of products and/or equipment which will be referred to as “reels”. Reels may also be called “spools” and can be made of wood, steel or other materials.

• SWT units are designed for spooling multiple types of product such as, but not limited to, “cable”, “wire”, “conductor” etc. and these terms may be used interchangeably.

• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may result in property damage, personal injury or death

WORK AREA

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work areas and poor lighting can lead to accidents.

• Keep aisles clear of debris and obstructions.

• Ensure there are no objects projecting into the aisle that could cause trip hazards or could pose a collision hazard with the SWT.

• Clean up/contain any fluid spills immediately to prevent slips or falls.

• Be aware of potential hazards when performing any service or maintenance to the unit.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Service personnel shall wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate for the task being performed.

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT

Lockout/tagout the SWT per your corporate policy, if damaged or not functioning properly. Lockout/ tagout and de-energize all systems prior to performing any maintenance or service to unit.

HYDRAULIC HAZARD

AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS-Escaping fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from pin holes which eject fl uids under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. DO NOT use your hand.

Any fl uid injected into the skin under high pressure should be considered a serious medical emergency despite an initial normal appearance of the skin. There will be a delayed onset of pain, and serious tissue damage may occur. Medical attention should be sought immediately.

SPOOLING ZONE

The area between the SWT and the cable rack from which the cable is being pulled will be referred to as the “Spooling Zone”. This area must be restricted from all personnel and equipment traffi c during SWT operation as severe personal injury or death could result. Only the SWT operator may be within the spooling zone during SWT operation.

SWT units are equipped with retractable personnel barriers with magnetic ends to attach to the legs of the cable rack and should be utilized to identify and block access to the spooling zone. If the retractable barriers cannot be utilized, other high visibility barriers must be put in place such as traffi c cones, posts or barricades on both sides of spooling zone during operation of SWT.

MOVING COMPONENTS

ROLLER ARMS-SWT units are equipped with roller arms which move up and down under hydraulic power. Moving components can cut or crush. All personnel must be familiar with and keep arms, hands and fi ngers clear of any potential crush points to prevent severe personal injury.

SPOOLING CABLE-Spooling cable passing through cable counter or locator guides could crush hands or fi ngers. Keep hands clear of cable and keep hands and fi ngers away from cable counter and locator guides while operating the SWT.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

• Only personnel trained in the proper and safe operation of BTC units may operate or service the BTC.

• Operators shall wear appropriate PPE suitable for working with industrial lead-acid batteries while operating the BTC (see prior page).

• All data plates, warning labels, placards, etc shall be in place and legible at all times. Contact BHS for replacement data plates, warning labels, placards or instructions.

• All users and service personnel shall be familiar with the meaning and risks associated with all data plates, warning labels, etc.

• All operators and service personnel shall be aware of potential crush and shear points while operating or servicing the BTC, including the casters and brakes.

• BTC should be operated in an area with ambient light levels of at least 50 lux.

• Keep hands and arms out of the battery compartment while operating the BTC.

• Engage the battery stop(s) and properly secure the battery prior to transporting the battery.

• Attach the hook and chain (if equipped) to the battery prior to transporting the battery.

• Avoid abrupt changes in direction when transporting a battery in the BTC to prevent loss of the battery and/or loss of control of the BTC.

• Remove BTC from service if damaged, defective, or operating improperly (or becomes such while operating) until repairs can be made to correct any problem(s).

DO’s AND DON’T’s

• DO NOT exceed the maximum capacity of the BTC.

• DO NOT modify or fit the BTC with attachments without prior, written approval from BHS.

• DO NOT perform any maintenance or service to the BTC with a battery loaded on the BTC.

• DO NOT allow anyone to ride in or on the BTC.

• DO NOT operate the BTC with any guard or cover removed unless required for maintenance or repair.

• DO NOT travel with the stop bar in the raised position.

• DO NOT lower the inside frame on any person or object.

• Disconnect the battery (if equipped) before attempting to perform service or maintenance to the BTC.

• DO NOT use the BTC in a manner for which it is not intended. Some examples of prohibited use are but not limited to:

           >>As a scooter or to transport people 
           >>As a vehicle jack
           >>To lift loads greater than its rated load capacity
           >>Where unintentional movement may exist
           >>Having direct contact with foodstuff
           >>In a potentially explosive atmosphere

DE-ENERGIZATION

BTC/BTC-MPP:

1. Turn the pump release handle counterclockwise to lower the inner carriage and release hydraulic pressure. See Figure 1

Failure to lower the inner carriage when performing service to the BTC could result in injury from the roller bed lowering unexpectedly.


FIGURE 1

BTC-MPPEL/MPPEE/MPPAE:

1. Unplug the battery charger (if equipped).
2. Disconnect the positive cable from the battery post. Secure the positive cable so it cannot contact the positive battery post. See Figure 2.

Failure to disconnect electrical power to the BTC could result in electrical shock.


FIGURE 2

3. Cycle the manual valves several times to relieve stored hydraulic pressure. See Figure 3.

Failure to release any stored hydraulic pressure could result in injury from: Escaping hydraulic fluid under high pressure (see HYDRAULIC HAZARDS in the GENERAL SAFETY section). Unexpected movement of hydraulic components.
