IMPORTANT NOTICE!
You must advise and pass this information along to those who
will use the casters. Place the proper instructions on your
product to relay this information to the user of your product. |
Casters are a
consumable item. Just like any other consumable item, when they
wear down their life is over and they should be replaced.
Material handling equipment users, in general, are responsible
for the proper operation and
maintenance of the equipment they use.
DO NOT overload or
drop heavy loads on carts or trucks.
DO NOT use on rough
or obstructed floors.
DO NOT use at
speeds over five miles per hour.
For the proper operation of your Payson casters, we recommend
you develop a regular maintenance schedule for the following:
CASTERS (BASE & BRACKET ASSEMBLY)
Check the swivel assembly to see if excessive play exists due
to wear. If the swivel assembly is loose, it should be replaced.
If the caster has a king bolt
nut, do not retighten. If it is loose, it is worn and should be
scrapped. If the swivel assembly does not turn freely, replace
it. If the rigid or swivel bracket
is bent or distorted, replace immediately.
Caster brakes or swivel locks should be checked at each use to
insure proper working order. Damaged or inoperative parts must
be replaced immediately. |

FRAMES &
FASTENERS
Tighten loose bolts and nuts and look for broken welds.
Always use lock nuts or lock washers.
Examine the frame, platform, legs, or equipment for any
distortions, bending, or other damage. Discontinue use and replace
immediately.
WHEELS
Check wheels and replace at the first sign of any problem
including:
Flat spotsmay be caused by a build-up of string, thread, etc.,
which bind
the wheel (Use thread guards to delay build-up of these materials.)
Badly worn or chunked out tires can also cause erratic steering
and a very
rough ride.
Fractured or cracked hubs caused by sudden shock or overload.
LUBRICATION
Relubricate on a regular schedule according to the environment of
the application.
Frequent cart washings may require lubrication after each washing.
Regular lubrication adds to the life and performance of wheel and
swivel bearings. |
