SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read Carefully Before Operating Any Wulftec Machinery
Wulftec stretch wrap machinery should be handled with the same caution and care as with any other industrial
equipment. Many automatic functions may be potentially hazardous. For this reason, except for the authorized
operator(s) and maintenance crew, other personnel should keep clear at all times. It is especially important to be
aware that mechanical or electrical components may suddenly become active when the electrical panel is turned on.
These operating instructions serve as information for operating personnel as well as mechanics, electricians and the
maintenance department. These operating instructions shall help to operate the wrapping machine in a safe and
appropriate way and to avoid injuries to personnel and damages to the machine.
Unless specifically stated, preceding all instructions in this manual, it must be well understood that all inspection,
maintenance, and repair should be performed only when the electrical power is disconnected from the machine.
However, dangers may still arise from this machine if it is inappropriately used by untrained personnel or if it is used
for purposes it is not intended for. In order to avoid operating errors and to assure quick rectification of faults, the
operating instructions must always be accessible to the operating personnel at all times.
Unstable loads being wrapped at high speeds are liable to fly apart and cause machine damage or personal injury.
For this reason, it is suggested that whenever attempting to wrap an unusual or new load configuration, all personnel
should be well clear of the wrapping area. The load should not be wrapped at a higher speed than the machine was
designed to handle. Always assume the machine is in an active mode. Disconnect control power prior to servicing,
adjusting or performing routine maintenance procedures.
Please use extreme caution if it should become necessary to inspect, diagnose, or adjust the machine while it is in
operation. Only qualified individuals thoroughly familiar with the particular machine should perform regular
maintenance or inspections.
Unless specifically stated, preceding all instructions in this manual, it must be well understood that all
inspections, maintenance work, and repairs should be performed only when the electrical power is
disconnected from the machine. Refer to the Lock out / Tag out procedure on page 66.

INSPECTION
TRANSPORT INSPECTION
Immediately upon arrival, visually inspect machine for damages caused in transport. If damage to the machine has
occurred, it must be reported to the freight carrier immediately and Wulftec should be notified. As stated in the
warranty, Wulftec is not responsible for damage caused in transit. If no damage is apparent, carefully remove all
wrapping material, strapping, blocks, etc.
The liability of the insurer may become inapplicable in events of damage, if the following instructions are not
complied with.
In case of a suspected damage, reception of the goods should only be acknowledged under proviso, (e.g. on the
freight document) with information concerning the suspected damages.
In case of goods in containers make sure that container as well as locks or seals are checked by responsible persons
of the shipping company or the carrier. If containers are damaged or locks and seals have been broken, are missing
or deviate from the freight documents, acknowledge the receipt only under proviso with information concerning the
suspected damage and keep damaged or wrong locks and seals in a safe place.
Secure compensation claims against third parties.
Shipping companies, other forwarders, haulage companies, storage companies, customs and harbor authorities
should be
 requested for mutual rectification of the damage,
 asked for certification of the damage,
 made liable and describe the damage in detail,
in the event of externally visible damage before acceptance of the goods, damage not visible from outside
immediately after discovery.
Find out deadlines for complaints and comply with them!

GENERAL SAFETY
The wrapper has been built in compliance with the presently valid technical rules and is reliable in operation. It has
been submitted to a final test on the functionality of components, protections, controls and emergencies. However,
dangers may still arise from this machine if it is inappropriately used by untrained personnel or if it is used for
purposes it is not intended for.
Each person instructed to operate or service the wrapper must have read the complete operating instructions before
starting to perform the respective work. This applies also if the person has already worked with a wrapping machine
of the same or a similar type, or if the person has been trained by a qualified Wulftec representative. For the
customer it is recommended to obtain a written confirmation from the personnel that the contents of these operating
instructions have been read.
Knowledge about the contents of these operating instructions is a prerequisite to protect persons against dangers as
well as avoidance of errors and safe and trouble free operation of the machine.
The operating instructions must be available and accessible to the operating and service personnel at any
time! All information in these operating instructions must be strictly observed!
In the end, the customer or the personnel authorized by him who must operate the stretch wrapping machine in
compliance with his duties is fully responsible for accident-free operation. Apart from the notes on industrial safety in
these operating instructions, the generally valid safety regulations and the instructions for the prevention of accidents
must also be complied with.
