USING THE CARPET TRUCK

1. Center the roll of carpet on the truck. Do not load the truck beyond its capacity (500 pounds; 227.3kg). If a carpet roll weighs more than 500 pounds, use another device to move it. The end/edge of the carpet should be on top of the roll.
2. Retract both leg sets. Each leg set is fixed in the extended or retracted position by a spring pin. Grasp the wire ring and pull the spring pin out of the pin hole of the leg bracket. Push the leg set towards the frame and release the spring pin. The pin should seat into the semicircular hole in the leg bracket.
3. Grasp an end of the roll and carefully push the truck. Do not traverse sloped ground with a loaded truck unless you can easily control it. Always remain uphill from the truck. If you cannot push or control the truck when it is loaded, enlist a coworker to assist you. Both persons should grasp the same end of the roll and push the truck wherever needed.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)

Record the condition of the truck before putting it into service. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles. Take close range photographs of all labels, the leg sets, rollers, and spring pins. Load the truck with a roll of carpet. Describe how the truck reacts to the load. How much to the tires compress? Push the loaded truck. What sounds do you hear as the wheels rotate? Park the truck on even, level ground and unroll a short length of carpet. Describe the operation of the rollers as the carpet roll rotates. Collate all photographs and writings into a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This file is a record of the carpet truck in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of each inspection to this record to determine whether the truck is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged surface finish (paint or powdercoat), are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all areas as soon as damage occurs.

INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE

At least once per month, thoroughly inspect the unit. Compare the condition of each component to the RECORD. Repair or replace all components that are not in satisfactory condition.

Wheels: Examine the wheels for cracks, cuts, bulges, and significant tread wear. Recommended tire inflation pressures are provided on the sided wall of both tires. Determine whether each tire should be inflated. Add air, if necessary, but do not overinflate the tires. Make sure that both cotter pins are in place. The arms of the pins should be bent in opposite directions around the axle. Push the (unloaded) truck. Make sure that it does not wobble. It should roll smoothly and easily. Apply lubricant between the wheel hubs and axle.

Roller mechanisms: Confirm that each roller turns freely. Examine PVC tubes for cracks. Tighten fasteners that connect the rollers to the (blue) frame.

Leg sets: Inspect each leg for cracks and severe corrosion/rusting. Tighten all fasteners that connect the legs to the truck frame. Make sure that both spring pins function properly.

Frame: Check all welds for cracks. Inspect the frame members for damage, such as warps, cracks, and thinned regions. Apply touchup paint wherever the finish is damaged.

LABELING DIAGRAM

The unit should be labeled as shown in the diagram. However, label content and location are subject to change so your product might not be labeled exactly as shown. Thoroughly photograph the unit when you first receive it as discussed in the Record of Satisfactory Condition section of this manual. Make sure that your Record includes a photograph of each label. Modify this diagram, if necessary, to indicate labeling actually applied. Replace all labels that are, damaged, missing, or not easily readable (e.g. faded). Contact the Parts Department online at http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_inf o.htm to order replacement labels. You may also call 260-665-7586 and ask the operator to connect you to the Parts Department.
