SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY: THE MACHINE IS TO BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAFETY GUIDELINES AND IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED. The machine is fitted with a stop button, which MUST be activated in all possible emergency situations, disabling the machine.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SOLENOID CONTROL & FULL GUARDS This Pallet Inverter is a highly versatile machine, used for efficient exchanging of pallets from a load. The machine is loaded with a forklift truck. A single table clamps the load, the machine then inverts the load through 180 degrees.
HANDLING The machine MUST only be unloaded and loaded with the use of a suitably rated fork lift truck and a competent, qualified driver. There are two fork tine receiving slots on the machine ‘A’ frame. If required a designated lookout person should be assigned if the drivers visibility is reduced by the load.
GUARD INSTALLATION • Once the Inverter is correctly bolted to the floor. Place the control box to the front of the machine where it cannot get damaged. • Lay out the panels and posts as the layout drawing in the back of this manual with all the two holes on the feet on the outside of the guarded area.
GUARD INSTALLATION CONTINUED • Place the cable tray corners in the back to corners and fasten to the cable tray. • Then fix the control panel in the control box recess by removing the bottom of the control box, fixing the Panel to the Box and replacing the bottom of the box.
CABLE INSTALLATION LIGHT BARRIER/CONTROL PANEL • Once the machine and guards are bolted to the floor replace the light barriers, lay the cables in the tray. Then cable tie them down until you reach the front. Plug in the cable to the light barrier (the cables can not be mixed up as the cable can only be plugged into the correct socket).
CONNECTION SAFETY: THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A FULLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. • Connect the machine to an adjacent suitably rated electrical supply. • Ensure the stop button on the control panel is released. • Switch the electrical isolator on, at the main electrical panel. •...
PRE-USE INSPECTION 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 rotating body is free from debris using a long handled broom, never enter the area under the rotating body at any time.
OPERATORS MANUAL Correctly locate the desired load to be inverted, with the load placed on the fixed table and the leading corner placed against the rotating body back/side wall. SAFETY: ALWAYS ENSURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS PRESENT WITHIN THE GUARDED AREA PRIOR TO STARTING! Turn the key to the on position.
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 CONTROL PANEL IS SWITCHED OFF AND LOCKED. CHOCK THE MACHINE IF WORKING IN THE AREA OF THE ROTATING BODY.
LUBRICATION GREASING WEAR PLATE The wear plate is a sacrificial element which is designed to guide the rack during normal operation, this plate requires regular lubrication to ensure smooth operation. NOTE: It is important to use the correct grade of grease (see specification page). From time to time the plate may also need to be adjusted, this is detailed below and takes any play out of the rack/wear plate assembly which may have occurred due to frictional losses.
LUBRICATION COMBINATION BEARINGS This machine is fitted with precision Combination bearings, these bearings come pre lubricated and do not require greasing. However it is worth checking the condition of the bearings in accordance with the maintenance schedule and if required lightly grease. SAFETY: SUITABLE CHOCKS SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT THE BODY FROM MOVING, WHILST LUBRICATION OF THE MACHINE IS CARRIED OUT.
LUBRICATION GREASING BOSS & PINION iii. The pivot boss houses the main pivot pin and related bush, attached to the pivot pin is the pinion. This pinion is connected to the rack/turnover ram and is used to turn the rotating body.
OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE Tools Required: Materials Required: Part No. 13mm spanner Oil suction filter H-F-SE1320 24mm spanner Return filter element H-F-2012 Oil transfer pump Qualube HM 32 60 litre container Oil absorbent pads NOTE: ALTHOUGH THE WHOLE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONTAINS 60 LITRES OF OIL ONLY 40 LITRES WILL BE IN THE TANK ITSELF.
OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE CONTINUED • Replace the strainer filter with the new filter component. • 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. •...
TECHNICAL INFORMATION LIGHT BARRIERS NOTE: NO ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIGHT BARRIERS MUST BE MADE, UNLESS DIRECTLY INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE MANUFACTURER. The light barriers operate by projecting a beam from an emitter, which is then picked up by the adjacent receiver, if this beam is broken the machine will automatically shut down.
TECHNICAL LIMIT SWITCHES (ROTATION) NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SWITCHES MUST NOT BE ADJUSTED (UNLESS DIRECTLY INSTRUCTED BY THE MANUFACTURER). The limit switches control the limit of the rotating body’s movement, It is important that these switches are not tampered with. The following instructions are laid out in the unlikely occurrence of machine malfunction and must only be carried out if instructed to do so by the manufacturer and only by a competent engineer.
