Safety Guidelines - Polaris MS4000 Service And Owner's Manual

SAFETY
GUIDELINES
READ THIS FIRST.
These guidelines provide general safety recom-
mendations for using hose and cable reels. However, the
employer should assess and determine if any additional
safety measures are required for its particular applica-
tion and operation, and fully instruct employees on
those safety measures.
Additionally, the employer should make a copy of
this safety manual available to all employees working
with reels. Additional copies of this safety manual may
be obtained upon request. No warranty of the correct-
ness or sufficiency of the information in this manual is
made by Hannay Reels.
Read all relevant manuals and safety instructions
prior to unpackaging reels. If there is ANYTHING you do
not understand about the safe installation and use of
your Hannay reel, please contact Hannay Reels (Attn:
Customer Service). We are always glad to help.

WARNING: PINCH POINT AREAS
USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING NEAR CHAIN AND
SPROCKETS.
Where chain guards are furnished, the reels should not be operated with them removed.
NOTE:
OSHA indicates the appropriate guarding of chains and sprockets is
at least partly the responsibility of the final installer of equipment,
based on the fact that equipment can be installed in so many differ-
ent positions and so many different degrees of accessibility to the
operator.
Please make sure that you have thoroughly reviewed this issue when
making the installation of the reel.
USE CAUTION WHEN GUIDING HOSE OR
CABLE BACK ONTO POWER REELS.
Keep the hand guiding the hose back onto the reel several inches away from the drum so that
there is no possibility of trapped or pinched fingers. Use proper personal protection
equipment.
KEEP HANDS A W A Y FROM SPOKED DISCS WHEN TURNING.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLUID HANDLING
USE A HOSE REEL AND HOSE PROPERLY
RATED FOR THE JOB.
Never exceed the pressure rating (psi) specified for a particular reel and hose. Also, make sure
that the size and material of both the reel and hose are designed for the intended use.
USE A FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR BETWEEN A
SWIVEL JOINT AND INLET PIPING.
CHECK FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS AT FLUID
CONNECTIONS PRIOR TO USE.
RELEASE PRESSURE IN HOSE BEFORE REMOVING
FITTINGS OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
BEFORE WINDING COLLAPSIBLE HOSE ONTO A
LIVE REEL, HOSE MUST BE EVACUATED OF ALL FLUID.

POWER REWIND REELS
USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR ELECTRIC REWIND
MOTORS.
Make sure that the circuit breaker is properly sized for the motor. Also, check all electrical
connections for proper installation prior to use.
REMOVE AUXILIARY CRANK REWIND HANDLE
BEFORE USING POWER REWIND.
DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE BEFORE
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
This applies to both electric and air-powered reels. Also, disconnect electrical power before
removing junction box covers or collector ring housings.
SPRING REWIND REELS
USE CAUTION WHEN SPRING REEL RATCHET
ASSEMBLY LOCK IS DISENGAGED.
When the lock is disengaged, always hold
onto the hose or cable and guide it onto the reel
as it rewinds.
ON SPRING REELS, NEVER REMOVE THE COVER
CONTAINING THE SPRING.
Coiled springs are under tension and removal of cover can result in severe personal injury.
