Instructions Before Use - Facom DL.700 Guía De Instrucciones

USER LIABILITY
Before using the wheel dolly, read the following instructions and precautions.
Keep these instructions handy for any future reference.
Any inappropriate use of the wheel dolly results in the manufacturer's liability being cancelled.
The non-application of these precautions may result in damaging the wheel dolly, and may even hurt users.
Inform appropriately the workers in charge of using and maintaining the work equipment, and notably on the conditions of use of work equipment, instructions, or guidelines concerning them.
Check the lifting devices:
- Check when initiating a task, upon first use of the device, whether new or second-hand, in the workshop.
- Check upon start-up, to be performed upon dismounting and refitting, modification, major repair or accident caused by a device failure.
- General periodical checks, performed on a regular basis, aiming at timely detection of any damage likely to create a hazard.
These checks concern devices powered mechanically as well as devices powered by human force. The result of these checks must be recorded in the safety log opened by the site manager.
When devices are faulty, forbid their use or repair immediately.
For manual handling, provide the staff with the individual protections required: safety shoes, preferably in materials resistant to hydrocarbons, protection gloves, etc.
In mechanical handling, unless during tests or proofing, never lift a load exceeding that specified on the device.
When using wheel dolly, the following must be ensured:
1. the maximum operating load must be mentioned on the wheel dolly,
2. each wheel dolly must be checked:
- every year in the case of normal use,
- every 6 months in the case of heavy use,
- immediately after use in special conditions, notably after an accidental overload.
Use the wheel dolly only to lift or lower a wheel. Do not use the wheel dolly to move a vehicle or a load.
Do not use the wheel dolly to lift or move persons.
When working under a raised vehicle:
- set a block to protect the staff from any untimely lowering of the vehicle, as well as any horizontal displacement,
- place a device signalling worker presence,
- if required, wear protection glasses and a cap.
WARNINGS !
1. Before lifting a mechanical device, ensure it is on a stable, flat, horizontal and clean surface (no grease nor oil) (1).
2. Check the vehicle to lift is perfectly immobilised (2).
3. To prevent the assembly from slipping, always centre the load on the wheel dolly properly (3).
4. Strap the mechanical device before moving the wheel dolly (4).
5. When using the wheel dolly, no person must be inside the vehicle or lean on it.
6. Check the oil level regularly (5). Conversely, too much oil can damage or alter the adjustment of the devices (see " instructions before use ").
7. When changing the oil, never use brake fluid, alcohol, glycerine, detergents, motor oil or used oil. Using dirty oil can cause major internal damage to your equipment.
8. Check the precaution label is legible at all times. When retrofitting your equipment, these labels are available (6) as well as the operating instructions (NU-DL.700/0215).
9. Do not use the wheel dolly in case of gale force winds, freezing, under extreme climates, near strong magnetic fields or in potentially explosive atmospheres.
10. Prevent any contact of the wheel dolly with food.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERFECT USE
1. Before each use, check the wheel dolly. You must particularly check for oil leaks, damaged or missing parts.
2. Faulty parts must be replaced by skilled staff with FACOM original parts. In case of oil overflow, contact a dealer for a repair.
3. Each part in the wheel dolly must be checked in case of load considered abnormal or following a shock.
4. The operator must be able to monitor the lifting device and load throughout the operation. In hazardous situations, such as when moving a vehicle, etc. interrupt the lifting operation immediately.
5. Position the wheel dolly as to avoid any part of the user's body from being located under the vehicle. Never work under a raised vehicle without first securing it on jack stands or other vehicle supporting means.
Always stay clear from the wheel dolly's moving elements.
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
1. Checking the oil level
Before using the wheel dolly, drain the hydraulic circuit to eliminate any air in the valve system.
- Place the command arm in its housing with the appropriate screw.
- Pull the command lever back, turn it clockwise and pump several times to obtain interior lubrication and bleed the air.
- Release the handle to ensure the wheel dolly return to its initial position automatically
- The wheel dolly is now ready for use.
Important: Before lifting the load, check that the safety instructions above are actually applied.
In case of necessity, check the oil level or top it up.
Set the wheel dolly in the operating position, piston in short position and open the valve. Open the cap. The tank must be filled exactly up to the opening (5).
With the wheel dolly horizontal, fill the quantity of oil necessary as indicated in the table (page 2). Prevent the oil from being contaminated.
After extended periods of use, change the oil to extend the wheel dolly's lifetime.
IMPORTANT: Excess oil above the maximum level may result in a malfunction of the wheel dolly.
If required, fill the appropriate quantity with FACOM oil (reference WA.22) (5).
2. Internal lubrication
Actuate the lever, with the valve open, several times to ensure perfect lubrication.
3. Fast bleeding the hydraulic system
During the wheel dolly's transport, some air can enter the system, reducing its effectiveness. To bleed the hydraulic system, open the valve (a) (7). With the handle, pump up to maximum displacement (b) (8).
Close the valve (a) (7).
INSTRUCTIONS OF USE
1. Lifting the load
Before lifting an assembly, check the vehicle is fully immobilised on a flat and horizontal surface (1) and (2). The jack must be on a stable surface void of greasy compounds.
Close the valve (7) by turning it clockwise until it is locked (not too tight). Pump (8).
Continue this pumping operation until the position required is reached.
2. Lowering the load
Press the lower pedal (a) (12).
