4. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Transport the safety trestle to the work area by either wheeling it or lifting and carryingit.

The safety trestle should always be wheeled to the work area if possible– only lift and

carry the safety trestle if it cannot be wheeled safely. Wheel the safety trestle only across

smooth surfaces. If the surface is rough or uneven, lift and carry the safety trestle instead of

wheeling it.

Jolting caused by the wheels catching on uneven surfaces can cause physical strain

and personal injury.

1. How to wheel the safety trestle

1. Make sure the safety trestle is rolled on flat and smooth surfaces. If the surface is rough

or uneven, lift and carry the safety trestle instead of rolling it.

2. Pull the lever up to raise the forefoot from the ground. Now the safety trestle can roll

freely on its wheels.

2. How to lift and carry the safety trestle

1. Determine the lifting points on the safety trestle. Hold the grey frame to carry the safety

trestle.

Never lift the safety trestle by the transport lever or by the red lifting frame

2. Lift and carry the safety trestle. When possible, have someone help you lift and carry the

safety trestle.

DO NOT attempt to lift the safety trestle if you suffer any physical condition that

prevents you from lifting the safety trestle safely.

Store the safety trestle level, in a clean environment, preferably indoors and in a dry area to

protect the trestle from moisture.

Also protect your safety trestle from direct sunlight. Make sure that the room temperature

remains constant.

If the equipment is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to

ensure the equipment stays in good working condition.

If you store the equipment in another environment please note that the internal workings of

the stands can be affected by high moisture, gravel or sand, salt, grit or other dust-laden air.

The trestle should have its inner components frequently cleaned, inspected and lubricated.

6. OPERATION

6.1. Safety instructions for operating the product

• Keep the work area well illuminated.

• Make sure that the support legs are completely down and make a firm contact with

the ground.

• When the safety trestle is in use make sure that no persons are in the vicinity of the

safety trestle or walk underneath the trailer to prevent serious injuries.

• Do not place the safety trestle directly against the trailer but keep a margin of

±10cm (±4inches).

• Consult the manual of the truck and/or trailer to know where to place the safety

trestle.

• A damaged or malfunctioning product must never be used. If damage or

malfunctions are discovered during pre-operation inspection or function tests,

theproduct must be tagged and removed from service.

• Use the safety trestle only on hard level surfaces. Uneven or sloped surfaces create

dangerous working conditions and dangerously obstruct the function of the safety

trestle.

• Disconnect the pressure line between the truck and the trailer so that the brakes

are on the rear wheels.

• Only when the person who has safely placed the safety trestle gives the sign that

the installation has been completed, the driver can safely remove the truck.

• Others who are not working on the vehicle must keep a minimum distance of 0.5 m

from the vehicle.

6.2. Operating instructions

Carry out the daily maintenance check listed in chapter7.

1. Correct positioning of the safety trestle:

1. Place the safety trestle behind the back wheels of the cabin.

2. Push the handle down to lift the wheels from the ground.

Thesafety trestle is now steady and firm on the ground.

3. Lift the wooden beam support as close to the trailer as

possible, but leave a margin of ±10cm (±4inches).

14/20

4. Place the safety pins in the height adjustment holes.

5. Now the trailer is secured and the truck can drive away.

2. Correctly remove the safety trestle:

The safety trestle may only be removed if the work has been completed. Make sure

that there are no persons or vehicles in the trailer when you remove the safety

trestle.

1. Push the handle upwards so that the wheels touch the ground

again.

2. Remove the safety trestle from underneath the trailer.

3. Remove the safety pins from the height adjustment holes.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in serious and/or fatal injuries

and/or serious damage to the material.

3. Lubrication 

D: daily, W: weekly, M: monthly

7.3. Maintenance instructions

1. Inspect for damage or cracks

A daily check of the safety trestles can limit wear to a minimum:

• Ensure that the instruction manual is complete, legible and available for reference;

• Ensure that all decals are legible and in place;

• Check entire machine for: damage, corrosion or cracks in structural components.

This maintenance may be carried out by the operator.

2. Cleaning

• Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.

• When you use a high-pressure cleaner, do not direct the jet onto the bearings and seals,

otherwise the grease will be washed out and the lifespan of the trestle will be shortened.

• Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!

This maintenance may be carried out by the operator.

16/20

3. Lubrication

A periodic coating of lubricating oil at pivot points will help to prevent rust and assure that

the wooden support beam assemblies move freely.

This maintenance may be carried out by the operator.

Where to lubricate

Please see pictures below for the pivot points that need a periodic coating of lubrication.

Use a non-abrasive grease to lubricate the mechanical parts. For example REF107TA8448 is

the best choice because it is water-repellent and resistant to weather influences.
