SAHLINS 7152 Series User manual

During the design and manufacture of the equipment, we have taken great care
to reduce health and safety risks.
Laying cables or installing ropes involves a variety of risks, and to reduce these it
is important:
-to study and follow the instructions
-to train staff in maintenance and safety on an ongoing basis
-to ensure that appropriate equipment and tools are available
-that the owner and supervisor are responsible for ensuring that effective safety
programmes and regulations are developed and followed by all staff
Our instructions contain important information that all users should know and
understand before they use the equipment. To ensure the safety of yourself and
others, you should pay particular attention to the points/sections with following
headings:
Important information that warns you about the risk of serious personal injuries
or danger of life if the instructions are not followed.
Important information that describes how you should prevent damage to ma-
chinery and equipment or how to avoid a situation that can cause personal inju-
ry.
Advisory information regarding the operation, care and maintenance of machin-
ery and equipment.

1. Read and acquaint yourself with all of the warnings, precautionary measures
and instructions in the user- and service manual, and read and learn the im-
portance of all the signs on and around the equipment. In the case of any doubt,
ensure that you have answers to all your questions before beginning work.
2. Do not work with machinery or equipment if you're under the influence of al-
cohol, strong medications, sedatives or other drugs that can make you less alert
or affect your judgement.
3. Take safety measures such as not wearing loose clothing which can get stuck
in moving parts or controls.
4. If possible always wear gloves to protect your hands and fingers against cuts
and abrasions, burns and solvents.

dust or other objects that can damage your eyes, or where safety regulations
require this.
6. Always use a protective helmet and safety shoes during work that requires
this.
7. Always use hearing protection in work areas with high noise levels.
8. Keep the work area clean and free of material.
9. Do not permit unauthorised personnel to be present within or around the
work area. Always keep complete control of who is present.
10. Areas that will be touched with hands or feet must be kept clean, dry and
free of oil or grease.
11. Store spare parts and tools in the designated places when these are not in
use.
12. Do not stand beneath or permit anyone else to stand beneath equipment
that is lifted or suspended.
13. Acquaint yourself with the weight limitations in ropes and lifting equipment
and the free space required for these.
14. Warning, prohibition and information signs may not be concealed, changed,
damaged or removed.
15. Before direction of portable equipment, ensure that the ground surface is
firm and flat. Check that supports and locks are securely in place. Follow the in-
structions for locking and erection of equipment where applicable.
16. Check the components in the equipment before each operation to ensure
that no parts are damaged or are suspected to be damaged. Repair or replace
damaged parts or parts which are suspected to be damaged. Repair or replace

damaged parts before starting and operating the equipment. Only use original spare
parts.
17. Before starting on operating equipment, ensure that no people, animals, tools,
spare parts or other foreign objects are present in, on, under or around it. Check that
all protective and safety equipment is correctly installed and in satisfactory condition.
18. Do not permit untrained personnel to use any equipment without supervision by a
trained operator.
19. Never leave the equipment without control and supervision.
20. Pay attention when using the equipment to visible defects or unusual noises that
can indicate a fault. Immediately halt use if any fault is suspected.
21. Carry out all inspection, maintenance, lubrication and adjustment with great care
and according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
22. Carry out all inspections, maintenance, lubrication and adjustments with great
care, and in accordance with the manufacturer´s recommendations. The machine must
always be stopped during maintenance work.

It is important to use the right sized reel lift, as otherwise there may be a risk of acci-
dents.

Check the cable reel's weight. Check that:
- the reel lift to be used is intended for the reel.
- all other components to be used can cope with the reel weight.
- none of the equipment is deformed or damaged in any way.
- the ball bearings and all joints run freely.
1. Place the cable reel horizontally.
2. Run the reel lift to the extended position and place it in the central hole.
3. Install the lifting equipment in the reel lift's bracket and lift. The reel lift will auto-
matically spread and grip against the inside of the cable reel.

As the reel lift has ball bearings, the reel will rotate slightly when cable is being
pulled off.
Make sure you respect safety distances and that the reel does not get out of control
or start to sway dangerously.
To reduce these phenomena, you can attach a reel brake (item no. 7152-1000) as an
accessory. This reel brake fits 7152-1012 and 7152-1022.
1. When you have finished pulling off cable, place the reel on a flat surface.
2. Remove the lifting equipment from the reel
lift's bracket.
3. Hold onto the fluted sleeve of the reel lift
and lift straight up.
4. The reel lift will now automatically fold up
and can be taken out of the central hole.

The reel lift's component parts are permanently attached to each other. There are no
loose spare parts.
