with this machine, carefully read and understand the
contents of these operating instructions.
Keep this manual near the machine and consult it as
needed during operations.

Before you Begin
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as
soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is
acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good
conditions of the shipment covered by our invoice. If
any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are
shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the
carrier makes a notation on the freight bill of the
shorted or damaged goods. Do this for your own
protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden
loss or damage is discovered after receipt and ask
the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will
not do so, prepare a signed statement to the effect
that you have notified the carrier (on a specific date)
and that the carrier has failed to comply with your
request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR
DAMAGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support
your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if available. Although
COATS’ responsibility ceases upon delivery of the
shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist in tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in every
possible manner does not make COATS responsible
for collection of claims or replacement of lost or
damaged materials. Shipping damage claims will not
be handled under warranty.
Safety Devices
The Coats wheel lift is equipped with a pressure
relief device (Fig. A) that prevents air supply pressures higher than 145 psi.
Figure A - Pressure Relief Device
This device comprises:
- a pressure relief valve factory set and locked at
145 psi.
- a maximum pressure valve factory set at 145
psi which cuts in if the relief valve fails.
Removing or tampering
with these safety devices
may lead to personal
injury and damage to property

Move it with a fork lift truck inserting the forks under
the crate as shown in Fig. B.

Unpacking
