INSPECTIONS
Written records – Before using carpet pole for first time,
make a written record of its appearance. Describe the
condition of the frame, pole, clamping bolts, safety
chain, and snap hook. Take photographs of each item
and add them to the record. Take photographs of all
labels applied to the carpet pole. Describe where
each label is located. This record establishes normal
condition. When conducting the following inspections,
compare observations to the record to determine if a
component is in normal condition. Do not use carpet
pole unless every component is in normal condition.
Cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat,
do not constitute changes from normal condition.
However, touchup paint should be applied to all
affected areas as soon as damage occurs.
Before each use – perform the following inspections.
1. Check the surface of the pole for dirt or other matter.
2. Confirm integrity of hardware and fasteners,
including but not limited to bolts, nuts, pins, snap
hook and quick link. Normal operability of manually
operated mechanisms (by hand or foot).
3. Examine pole and pole clamp for looseness or
excessive wear, damage or indications of metal
fatigue.
4. Inspect fork tubes for damage such as severe wear,
thinned walls, significant corrosion and warps.
5. Confirm that the safety chain is in satisfactory
condition. Look for broken, elongated and twisted
links.
6. Check all labels. Replace labels that are damaged
or not easily readable.
7.
Examine the whole structure for rusting/metal erosion.
Remove rust/corrosion with a steel bristle brush or
steel wool. Clean the area and apply touchup paint.
During use – Check for abnormal, unstable or noisy
movement.
Annual evaluation – At least once per year, authorized
inspection personnel should use carpet pole to list a
full capacity load. Afterwards, conduct a frequent
inspection to confirm product is in normal condition.

MAINTENANCE
End-users should implement a maintenance program
to ensure product functions properly and is adequately
maintained. The OSHA "General Industry" standard for
"Powered industrial trucks" (29 CFR 1910.178) provides
recommended maintenance procedures. The following
steps should be utilized in conjunction with those
procedures. Only trained, authorized personnel or
contractors should perform inspection, maintenance, or
repair work.
NOTE: End-user is responsible for selecting and
training employees to work on carpet pole.
"Work on" means use, inspect and maintain the
product.
1. Tag the carpet pole, "Out of Service."
2. Remove any dirt or other matter from all surfaces.
3. Conduct a "Before each use" inspection. If
deformity, corrosion, rusting or excessive wear of
structural members is found, do not use the product.
Permanently remove it from service.
4. Perform all necessary adjustments, replacements
and/or repairs, but do not modify the carpet pole.
NOTE: User should understand the significant
difference between necessary adjustments
and repairs, and modifications. An "adjustment"
is a simple correction that restores the device
to normal condition, such as tightening loose
fasteners or removing dirt or other debris
from the surface. "Repair" refers to removing
worn parts and installing replacement parts.
A "modification" is a change that alters the
carpet pole from normal condition, like
bending the structural members or removing a
part or several parts. Never modify the device
without first obtaining express, written approval
from Uline. Contact Uline Customer Service at
1-800-295-5510 for assistance. Modifications
automatically void the limited warranty and
might make the device unsafe to use.
5. Make a dated record of any repairs, adjustments
and/or replacements.
