PREPARATION
OPERATOR;
START BY READING AND FULLY UNDERSTANDING OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. IF SOMETHING IS NOT
UNDERSTOOD, HAVE SOMEONE ELSE READ AND EXPLAIN THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE OPERATOR OR
CALL THE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION. AN UNINFORMED OPERATOR CAN SUBJECT HIMSELF
AND OTHERS TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WEAR PROPER ATTIRE
Safety glasses are recommended and must be worn if any roof cutting or scraping is being done in the vicinity. Safety
glasses and or face shield are also necessary when working with hot stuff.
Wear properly fitting clothes. Tight clothing can restrict movement and slow down reaction time in a dangerous situation.
Loose fitting clothing can be dangerous and cause serious injury if it gets caught in moving mechanical parts. Wear a
long-sleeved shirt, buttoned at the cuffs, safety shoes, and pants without cuffs, and knit wrist type gloves.
A hard hat must be worn by operator when working on a job site.
ROOF PREPARATION
INSPECT ROOF DECK
Before allowing equipment and personnel access to roof, make certain roof is strong enough to support the weight. Check
load limits of deck with owner, builder or architect. Clear the work area of all potentially dangerous obstacles that could
cause personal injury to the operator or others. Keep unauthorized people away from construction area. Check to see that
all roof openings are guarded to protect against falls.
WARNING LINE SYSTEM
When operating parallel to roof edge warning line system must be at least six feet from edge. When operating perpendicular
to edge warning line must be ten feet from roof edge.

HOISTING TO ROOF
WARNING; ALWAYS CHECK DECK LOAD LIMITS WITH BUILDER, OWNER, OR ARCHITECT
BEFORE DECIDING TO USE ON THE ROOF.
INSPECT THE HOIST
Make certain hoist is in safe operating condition, to be operated by trained personnel. The hoist should be clear of ground
objects and overhead obstacles, such as power lines; it should be secure and properly counterbalanced. Hoist should be
inspected for frayed cables, bent frame members of faulty mechanical parts. Make sure everyone on the ground is completely
clear of the hoisting area. Do not exceed the weight and size capacity of your hoist. Do not use if you are in doubt.
CONNECTING TO LIFT RINGS
One hoist ring is located on frame (see Fig. 2). Connect hoist line to ring when lifting wheelbarrow only (always lift
wheelbarrow empty). Make sure the hoist, cable, hook, etc. are in good running order or damage or injury may occur.
WEIGHT: 202 000 with 4.80 X 8 wheels 70 LBS
203 000 with 18 X 8.50 wheels 86 LBS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never operate equipment that is damaged in any way. Repairs or replacement of damaged components must be made
by a qualified mechanic.
Do not modify the wheelbarrow. Do not operate a modified piece of equipment.
Avoid slick areas on the roof to prevent slipping.
Wear safety footwear and snug fit clothing.
Be trained to do the specific job before operating the equipment on an actual job.
Do not exceed weight carrying capacity of the deck. Check with owner or architect for deck capacity.
Use on flat, level roofs only.
Guard all openings in the roof.
Do not operate within 10 feet of roof edge (or within 6 feet, if operation is parallel to the edge.)
Do not operate this machine if you are under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or drugs that could impair judgment
and ability.
Keep the equipment in good condition.

OPERATION
Before Operation
Check wheelbarrow for cracks, broken welds and other damage. Repair or replace if damaged.
Tire servicing: Check tire pressure
Always check tire manufacturer’s recommendations for correct tire pressure before inflating tire.
(Correct tire pressure should be imprinted on the side of the tire).
Basic Equipment Operation
The 202 000 and 203 000 Wheelbarrows are designed for use inside a perimeter warning system. They are a push type
machine. Do not operate within 10 feet of roof edge (or 6 feet if operating parallel to roof).
The wheelbarrow is designed for gravel and rubbish carrying. It is a typical lift and push type machine and operator must
respect this. Large capacity makes every trip count. The wheelbarrow’s two wheel design makes it extremely stable with
large loads. Heavy tubular steel frame will last for years and the built in bumper tube protects the roof from damage when
dumping.
Care must be taken when lifting heavy loads.
The proper lifting techniques described below can minimize the stress on your muscles and back.
• Plan your move, size up the load and make sure your path is clear
• Use a wide-balanced stance with one foot slightly ahead of the other.
• Tighten your stomach muscles as the lift begins.
• When lifting, keep your lower back in it’s normal arched position and use your legs to lift.
• Make sure you don’t roll and walk over debris.
• Lower the load slowly, maintaining the curve in your lower back.
• Do not run with the wheelbarrow, serious injury can occur.
• Do not pull the wheelbarrow, serious injury can occur.
• Loaded material must not extend outside of tray perimeter or top, or injury can occur.
After reading through all of the instructions, the 202 000, 203 000 Wheelbarrow should be ready for operation. When
operating equipment for the first time, position the equipment on the ground or in an open level area away from obstructions
and roof edges. With no load on the wheelbarrow, practice manoeuvring the equipment.

SAFETY HAZARDS
Safety hazards are not always obvious to workers. Unlike exposure to health hazards, where illness or injury develop slowly,
safety hazards usually result in immediate injury or death.
Broken bones, cuts bruises, sprains, burns and loss of limbs, eyesight and hearing are the kinds of injuries caused by safety
hazards.
The rate of occupational injuries in roofing, in fact, ranks in the top ten of all major occupational groups.
Falls
Falls are the number one cause of serious injury and death to roofers. An estimated 10 percent of all roofing accidents result
from falls off roof edges, through roofing openings or off ladders, more than half of the non-fatal accidents result in serious
injury.
Unprotected and unguarded roof edges and roof openings create extremely hazardous conditions.
Ladders with cracked, loose or missing steps: with side rails broken or cracked and not attached firmly to the steps; with
broken, loose or missing locks, or coated with grease, oils or hardened bitumen can lead to serious injury. Ladders should
always be inspected to make sure they’re properly maintained and constructed and that they’re long enough to extend three
feet above the roof’s surface.
Improperly balanced or unstable hoists overturn and will often carry the worker along. Rolls of roofing felt should never be
used as counterweight. Workers should know the load capacity; it should be posted.

Burns
Skin contact with hot asphalt and hot coal tar pitch usually results in second and third degree burns. They usually involve
deeper portions of the skin and are easily infected.
An estimated 16 percent of all injuries are burns from hot stuff. The major causes of burns have been from:
Kettle flashes
Kettle splashes from dropping pieces of coal pitch or asphalt into the kettle
Slips and trips while carrying hot bitumen in open containers
Splashes involving transfer operations like from the hot pipe outlet to a hot lugger, from a hot lugger to a mop
cart or a pail, or from the kettle to a pail.
Heavy Lifting
Sprains and strains, a majority of which involve the back, are the most common roofing injury and one of the most severe.
Almost 30 percent of these injuries result in 10 or more days away from work.
Fire/Explosion
Two conditions must be met in order for fires and explosions to occur. First, there must be an ignition source, a welding arc,
spark, cigarette, flame or simply a hot spot as in a kettle or tanker. Secondly, there must be the right mixture of vapours
(from asphalt, pitch, solvents) and oxygen.
For kettles and tankers, fire/explosion conditions arise when:
oversized burners are used to fire the kettle, causing localized overheating of the heating tubes creating a hot spot
the temperature of the bitumen is brought up to the desired operation temperature too quickly allowing the level
of bitumen to drop to the level of the firing tubes, allowing excessively high surface temperatures
heating the bitumen to its flash point (for asphalt, about 525°-540°; for pitch, about 450°-475°)
the temperature of the bitumen is hot enough to reach the auto-ignition level
in tankers, the vent pipe is clogged or plugged so that flammable vapours can build up to explosive levels

Many solvents evaporate quickly at roof temperatures. Explosive mixtures of vapours can be readily formed within confined
spaces like high parapet walls, in atriums or in any space where little or no ventilation exists. And any kind of spark or flame
can ignite the vapours.
Electrocution
Low voltage electricity can cause shock, muscle contractions, breathing difficulty, irregular heartbeat, severe burns and death.
The route that the current takes through the body affects the degree of injury. Current flowing from one finger to another
would not pass vital organ, while from one hand to another would pass through the heart and lungs.
Electrical tools should be properly grounded. The electrical cord should end in a three-prong grounding contact, or the wires
should be enclosed in a metal case with a special grounding attachment.
Employers are required to provide ground fault circuit interrupters for all outlets on construction sites that are not part of the
permanent wiring of the building. This is actually a fast-acting circuit breaker, which can shut off electricity in a fraction of a
second.
Aluminum or other metal ladders pose a serious electrical hazard around electrical equipment and energized lines.
Falling Objects
Tools, bricks, materials, buckets, boxes, pallets or almost anything dropped from a sufficient height can cause severe
damage. Head injuries, one of the highest compensated injuries to workers, often include brain damage.
Workers need protective head gear when working beneath people, tools and equipment.
Flying Objects
Objects can be projected by machines, from welding or grinding operations and can be windblown. Tear-off operations,
where power cutters, power brooms and power spudders are generally used, are the major source of flying substances.
The part of the body most often injured is the eyes.
Unguarded Machinery
Exposed blades and chains on powered machinery like hoists and roof cutters can severely lacerate and crush parts of the
body. Guards should always be fitted over moving parts to protect workers.
