SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY: THE MACHINE IS TO BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAFTEY GUIDELINES AND IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED. The machine is fitted with a run button, which MUST be released in all possible emergency situa‐ tions, disabling the machine. The following guidelines MUST be obeyed and the machine operated in strict accordance with the operators manual: • Only fully authorised personnel may operate this machine. • Only fully authorised, suitably qualified personnel may carry out maintenance operations on this machine. ...
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LEVER CONTROLS The Retriever is designed for the efficient exchanging of pallets from a load. The machine is loaded at a floor level, with either fork or pallet truck. It then tips the load through 95 degrees, ena‐ bling the pallet to be easily exchanged. The load is then returned to its original orientation and removed from the machine. The lever controls for this machine are affixed to the guards. A “RUN” start button is fitted to the control panel, ensuring ...
HANDLING There is only one method of lifting the Pallet Retriever: The machine MUST only be unloaded and loaded with the use of a suitably rated fork lift truck and a competent, qualified driver. The retriever must be in the position illustrated (Fig 1). With the transportation supports placed under the machine frame. NOTE: If the machine is to be set down before it reaches it final desti‐ nation, it is important that the transport supports are kept in position, as it will be difficult to move the machine once removed. Fig. 1 Transportation support The supports should be set down near each corner of the frame (Fig 1). When the machine is in its desired final position, remove the supports before attaching the machine to the floor. SAFETY: CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHILST MANEUVERING THE EQUIPMENT AROUND OBJECTS AND PEOPLE TO AVOID DAMAGE/INJURY. 09/2012 RAR VERSION 5 ...

GUARD INSTALLATION NOTE: THE HOLES FOR ASSEMBLY ARE PRE DRILLED IN THE GUARD FRAMES, ENSURE THE GUARDS ARE IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION BEFORE COMMENCING ASSEMBLY. • Place the 5.5m lever control cables at the front of the machine (be careful not to trap these while assembling the guards). • Locate the guard panels, electrical box and cable trays in their respective positions (see lay‐ out drawing). There are 8 panels in total, including two which make up the front returns. • Loosely assemble the guards as per plan using 12 x M8 fasteners to secure between panels. Fit the cable trays to the guards as this will help with alignment (there are 4 attachment lugs for the cable trays located on each guard panel). NOTE: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE GUARD PANELS DOWN AT THIS POINT. ...
CONNECTION SAFETY: THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. • Connect the machine to an adjacent suitably rated electrical supply. • Switch the electrical isolator on, at the electrical panel (see below). NOTE: POSITION CAN VARY DEPENDING ON SPECIFICATION. • Start the machine by pressing the RUN button. • check for the correct clockwise rotation of the motor. If necessary, change the motor con‐ nections to reverse the polarity. 09/2012 RAR VERSION 5 ...
PRE‐USE & START UP PROCEDURE Pre‐use Inspection: • Visually inspect the machine for any obvious deformities or irregularities. • Ensure there are no oil leaks and the hydraulic oil level is correct on the tank sight glass. • Ensure the area under the body is free from debris using a long handled broom, never en‐ ter the area under the body at any time. • Ensure any load placed in the machine is correctly located against the fixed rear wall and sliding side table. SAFETY: ALWAYS ENSURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS PRESENT WITHIN THE GUARDED AREA PRIOR TO STARTING! SAFETY: NEVER START UP THE MACHINE IF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA ARE NOT MET ...
OPERATORS MANUAL • Ensure any load placed in the machine is correctly located against the fixed rear wall and sliding side table. SAFETY: ALWAYS ENSURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS PRESENT WITHIN THE GUARDED AREA PRIOR TO STARTING! • Depress the RUN button (Fig 4) with one hand and with the other hand press the right‐ hand lever downwards until the load is fully clamped, then allow the lever to return to its ...
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SAFETY: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION ENSURE THE MACHINE IS IN ITS DEFAULT (AT REST) POSITION AND THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISOLATOR ON THE MAIN CON‐ TROL PANEL IS SWITCHED OFF AND LOCKED. Weekly: • Grease all lubrication points including: i. Table slides (Page 13) ii. Body centre pin (Page 13) Monthly: • Check the hydraulic oil level at the tank sight glass, replenish with correct grade oil if necessary (See specifications page) ...
LUBRICATION GREASING POINTS Lubricate all grease points shown below (Fig 3 & 4) in accordance with the maintenance schedule on the previous page. NOTE: It is important to use the correct grade of grease (see specification page). SAFETY: DISPOSE OF WASTE GREASE AND SOILED RAGS CORRECTLY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AUTHORITY GUIDELINES. LUBRICATION POINT Fig. 3, Table slides Fig. 4, Pivot points 09/2012 RAR VERSION 5 ...
OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE CONTINUED • Examine the tank lid seal for deterioration, signs of perishing or damage and replace the seal if necessary. At this point drain any excess oil from the motor/pump assembly. • Carefully refit the complete tank top lid assembly. • Refill the hydraulic tank through the filler breather with Mobil Pegasus 32 grade oil until it reaches the top mark on the sight glass. Fill the tank carefully, to prevent a build up of air in the system. NOTE: THE OIL LEVEL MAY DROP A SMALL AMOUNT AFTER THE MACHINE HAS BEEN RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS IS NORMAL AS THE OIL HAS TO FILL THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. • Re‐fit the tank filler/breather cap. •...
TECHNICAL FLOW DIVERTER VALVE NOTE: NO ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT TO THE FLOW DIVERTER VALVE SHOULD BE REQUIRED. 1. The flow diverter valve acts only on the return operation of the machine. It is a 2 position valve with no neutral. It operates by switching flow from the turnover ram back to the hy‐ draulic reservoir tank. • When the body is reaching the end of travel the plunger is depress by means of an adjustable buffer (located on side of body). NOTE: This buffer should not be adjusted as it may cause the machine to malfunction. • The plunger operates the valve which in turn diverts the feed from the turnover ram back into the hydraulic tank, thus disabling the ram.

OIL DATA SHEET Pegasus 32 Hydraulic and Circulatory Fluid: Pegasus 32 is a high quality hydraulic and circulatory fluid manufactured from solvent refined mineral oils and incorporating an extremely high performance additive system. Specifically developed to meet or exceed the very stringent performance specifications demanded by ma‐ jor original equipment manufacturers. Primarily recommended where maximum equipment protection is required when the severest of opera‐ tional conditions are to be encountered. Performance Benefits: Extremely sophisticated additive system meets the highest performance requirements of current equip‐ ment manufacturers of both static and mobile plant. Excellent anti wear protection dramatically reduces mechanical abrasion even under the most severest of operational conditions, greatly reducing the frequency and level of maintenance requirements. Corrosion, foam and oxidation inhibitors produce an extremely stable lubricant even under the most ardu‐ ous of working conditions, greatly extending fluid life and substantially reducing maintenance costs.
