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 SWT units may operate or service the SWT.

• Operators shall wear appropriate PPE suitable for working with or around large reels of electrical cable or similar product while operating the SWT.

• 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 SWT.

• The spooling zone must blocked from personnel traffic while SWT is in use.

• Only the SWT operator shall be inside the spooling zone during SWT operation.

• Keep hands and arms outside the confines of the spooling area while operating the SWT.

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

• SWT units are designed to work with BHS Parallel Reel Payout (PRP) units as well as similar types of nonBHS manufactured equipment. All users must be familiar with the operation and capacities of any product or equipment to be used in conjunction with the SWT and ensure said product is in satisfactory operating condition prior to use.

DO’s AND DON’T’s

• DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity of the reel being spooled.

• DO NOT overfill the reel being spooled. • Ensure the reel can safely hold the desired amount of cable to be spooled.

• Ensure the product to be spooled is compatible with the reel on which the product is to be wrapped (i.e. the reel hub diameter meets the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for the product) to prevent potential damage to the product.

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

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

• Disconnect the SWT from all power sources before attempting to perform service or maintenance to the SWT.

• DO NOT operate the SWT if the reel to be spooled is not centered front-to-back between the rollers.

• DO NOT operate the SWT with the roller arms set at unequal lengths.

• DO NOT operate the SWT if the rollers do not contact the reel at “10 and 2”.

• DO NOT operate the SWT with any personnel inside the SWT.

• Ensure retractable personnel barriers (or other visible safety barriers) are in place, restricting access to the spooling zone, prior to operating the SWT.

• DO NOT operate the SWT with any personnel except the operator standing inside the spooling zone.

• Inspect the reel rims for defects prior to spooling product to prevent damage to the reel or the SWT.

• Inspect the overall reel condition prior to spooling product to prevent damage to the reel or the product being spooled.

• Ensure reels from which product is dispensed from:

 » Are properly secured and stable for payout 
 » Are free from obstructions that may interfere with product during payout
 » Spin freely during payout 

• The E-stop must be engaged prior to preparing the reel for spooling or once spooling has completed and the reel is prepared to be removed from the SWT.

• The individual responsible for attaching the product to the reel MUST have the remote control on his/her person the entire time the reel is being prepared to prevent unintentional/accidental activation of the SWT while personnel are inside the confines of the SWT.

• DO NOT touch or manipulate the cable by hand while spooling is in progress.

• Immediately stop operation if any of the following are observed:

 » Product being spooled becomes obstructed, tangled or snagged 
 » Spooling reel becomes unstable or begins to move unintentionally 
 » SWT becomes unstable or begins to move unintentionally 
 » Dispensing reel becomes unstable or begins to move unintentionally 
 » Product spools unevenly on reel » Personnel enter immediate vicinity of SWT or product being spooled

DE-ENERGIZATION

1. Remove any reels inside the SWT.
2. Fully lower the roller arms.
3. For wireless pendant equipped units, press the wireless pendant E-Stop.
4. Turn the disconnect handle on the electrical enclosure to the “OFF” position.
