SAFETY
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and main-
tenance of your Stringer Trailer. You must ensure that
you and anyone else who is going to operate, maintain or
work around the machine are familiar with the operating
and maintenance procedures and related safety informa-
tion contained in this manual. This manual will alert you to
all good safety practices that should be adhered to while
operating the machine.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety prac-
tices not only protect you but also the people around you.
Make these practices a working part of your safety program.
Be certain that EVERYONE operating this equipment is
familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance
procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most
accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by
ignoring good safety practices.
• Owners must give operating instructions to opera-
tors or employees before allowing them to operate
the equipment, and annually thereafter per OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
regulation 1928.57.
• The most important safety device on this equipment
is a safe operator. It is the operator’s responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating
instructions in the manual and to follow them.
• A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified
to operate the equipment. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible seri-
ous injury or death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthor-
ized modification may impair the function and/or
safety and could affect the life of the equipment.

SAFETY
1. Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral before dis-
connecting from tractor or working on hydraulic system.
2. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system
are kept in good condition and are clean.
3. Relieve pressure before working on the hydraulic
system.
4. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or crimped
hoses.
5. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements.
The hydraulic system operates under extremely high-
pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and create a
hazardous and unsafe condition.
6. Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching
for a high-pressure hydraulic leak.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard
as a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
7. If injured by a concentrated high-
pressure stream of hydraulic fluid,
seek medical attention immedi-
ately. Serious infection or toxic re-
action can develop from hydraulic
fluid piercing the skin surface.
8. Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all components are tight and that
lines, hoses, and couplings are not damaged.
2.6 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
1. Make sure you are in compliance with all local regula-
tions regarding transporting equipment on public roads
and highways.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to know the lighting
and marking requirements of the local highway authori-
ties and to install and maintain the equipment to provide
compliance with the regulations. Add extra lights when
transporting at night or during periods of limited visibility.

OPERATION
5.2 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the Stringer Trailer requires
that each operator reads and understands the operating
procedures and all related safety precautions outlined in this
section. A pre-operation checklist is provided for the opera-
tor. It is important for both personal safety and maintaining
the good mechanical condition of the equipment that this
checklist is followed.
Before operating the equipment and each time thereafter,
the following areas should be checked off:
1. Service the machine per the schedule outlined in the
maintenance checklist.
2. Use only a tractor of adequate power and specifications
to operate the machine.
3. Check that all guards are installed, secured and func-
tioning as intended. Do not operate with missing or
damaged shields.
4. Ensure that the equipment is properly attached to the
tractor and that mechanical retainers, such as quick
pins, are installed.
5. Visually inspect the hydraulic system for leakage, loose
fittings, and damaged hoses. Tighten fittings, replace
damaged components and wipe up leaked or excess
hydraulic fluid.
5.3 LOADING TILE
1. Hitch the trailer to an acceptable tow vehicle.
2. Rotate the trailer table so one of the folding table wings
is at the rear of the trailer.
3. Engage the table lock.
4. Remove the table wing lock and fold the wing up under
the table and secure with a snap pin.
5. Use the switch pendant to raise the trailer table so that
the trailer top is just above ground level.
6. Remove the spool top manually by lifting and pulling
until the top has been removed. Set the top aside.
7. Back the trailer spindle into center of roll of tile while
looking through viewport on table deck, so as not dam-
age tile by striking it with mast tube.
8. Back into tile until tile contacts the table.
9. Place the top ring back on trailer spindle ensuring it is
fully seated.
10. Keeping a safe operating distance raise the stringer
table and top.
11. Once fully raised release the table wing and lock upright
and remove the table lock to string tile.
NOTE
Tile stringer works best by having the outer tile wrap at
the table and the inner tile wrap at the top so the table
rotates counter clockwise.
Spool top is heavy.
CAUTION

Stringer Trailer Owner’s/Parts Manual
14 PN:90806-00 R090114
OPERATION
5.4 STRINGING TILE
1. Remove the tile tie downs and pull off enough tile to feed
down into plow boot to hookup to outlet pipe or main.
2. While carefully having someone hold the pipe begin to
drive forward slowly allowing for the table to gradually
speed up to ground speed and not stretch the tile.
3. Maintain a consistent speed to help with a constant
tile feed.
4. Use the brake by pressing the top button on the switch
pendant to slow the table to prevent uncoiling on the
ground.
5. Top extensions are used for preventing improper uncoil-
ing of the tile spool due to windy conditions and can
be extended when necessary and should be retracted
when loading tile.
6. When finished stringing tile secure the remaining tile
to the table.
NOTE
Avoid over application of the brake to prevent inconsistent
feed and stretching of the tile.
5.5 USING OPTIONAL SPOOL
1. Load the spool onto the trailer with the back wing locked
up under the table and the table raised.
2. Load tile onto the trailer and secure the spool top with
the snap pins.
3. Unload the spool to store partial tile spool until reuse.
