Operating Instructions Overview:
This document provides detailed operating instructions for the STE01-DRU01-RH-SS unit, a four-wheeled pedestrian stacker with a drum rotator band. It is designed for use on level surfaces with drums ranging from 50 to 220 litres, either steel or plastic.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
PPE is mandatory at all times. Minimum requirements include safety shoes, with additional gear such as safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and overalls required during servicing and maintenance. A hard hat is necessary when operating overhead loads.

Environmental and Operational Hazards:
Parts and oils must be disposed of according to environmental regulations. Hydraulic hoses and lift chains require regular maintenance to prevent accidents. ATEX certified units have specific operational hazards related to static electricity and potential ignition sources.

Lifting and Transporting the Unit:
Safe lifting involves using designated lifting points and qualified personnel. The unit must be securely fastened during transport to prevent accidents.

Unit Description:
The unit is electric-hydraulic powered with manual drum rotation. It features enclosed geometry for safe handling and a fully enclosed ram operated from the rear. The safe working load is 350kg, and it is designed for flat, level floors only.

Pre-start Inspections:
Operators must inspect the unit for damage, check wheels, labels, battery charge, and test emergency stops and brakes before use.

Charging and Controls:
The unit should be parked securely and turned off before charging. It includes an on/off isolator switch, lift and lower buttons, an emergency stop button, and a battery condition meter.

Moving and Operating the Unit:
The unit should be moved on flat, level ground, with loads transported at low heights for stability. The lift and lower functions are controlled via buttons, with an emergency stop available.

Clamping and Rotating Drums:
Drums must be clamped correctly before lifting. The document details the procedure for clamping and rotating drums, including the use of a manual rotation handle and the maximum allowable torque for rotating offset loads.

Optional Extras:
An optional 25-litre drum insert is available to reduce the clamping width for smaller drums.
Maintenance Checklist
The document outlines a maintenance checklist for the STE01-DRU01-RH-SS unit, specifying operations and intervals: weekly (W) and annually (A). Key tasks include testing brakes, checking hydraulic systems, inspecting chassis and superstructure, and ensuring ATEX compliance for specific models. Maintenance must be performed by competent individuals, with electrical tasks reserved for qualified personnel.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues such as the unit not starting, load handling problems, and movement restrictions. Solutions involve checking emergency stops, battery charge, hydraulic oil levels, and ensuring proper load securing. If issues persist, contacting the manufacturer’s technical helpline is advised.

Consumables
Consumables like hydraulic oil and ratchet straps must be original STS products to avoid warranty voidance. Instructions for oil replacement and ratchet strap replacement are detailed, emphasizing the use of Shell Tellus 32 oil or equivalent.

Battery Maintenance and Safety
Battery handling requires trained personnel, with strict adherence to fire protection and disposal regulations. Safety measures include avoiding contact with battery acid, ensuring proper ventilation during charging, and using only the designated charger. The document warns against using unsuitable batteries due to safety risks.

Battery Charging Safety
Charging safety is critical due to explosive gases produced. The document advises on proper charging procedures, including checking cables for damage, ensuring a well-ventilated area, and maintaining a 2-meter clearance from flammable materials. Fire protection equipment must be available, and metallic objects should not be placed on batteries.
Operating Instructions: Wheel Replacement
Wheels should be replaced if damaged, cracked, or delaminated. Ensure the unit is isolated, disconnected from power, and on a flat surface. For front wheels, remove the wheel guard, jack up the leg, unbolt the wheel, and replace it. For rear wheels, lower the unit head, use a wooden block for support, jack up the wheels, unbolt, and replace them. Do not over-jack to avoid instability.
Technical Specification
Key dimensions include a straddle of 850mm, maximum width of 1100mm, and maximum length of 1700mm. The mast height is 1980mm, with a lift stroke of 1600mm and a maximum height of 2500mm. The unit supports a maximum load of 350kg, operates at a noise level of 79dBa, and has a nominal power of 1600W.
Decommissioning the Unit
If out of service for over a month, store in a frost-free, dry room. Clean the unit, test brakes, check hydraulic oil, and charge the battery every two months. Apply oil or grease to non-painted parts. Final decommissioning must comply with local regulations, especially for batteries and electronic components. Recommissioning involves reconnecting the battery and following maintenance checklists.
Safety Tests
Conduct safety checks annually or after unusual incidents by a qualified inspector. The focus should be on safety, not operational or economic factors.
