SAFETY INFORMATION 1. LOW RISKS – SHOCKS & BURNS
Whilst is very unlikely that anyone would be subjected to an electrocution or burn risk whilst operating these units, it is necessary to advise of some potential risks associated with any reduction in the integrity of these units by MISTREATMENT, IMPROPER MAINTENANCE OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS. (A) There is a potential for any person to suffer from an electric shock from one of these units. If wearing " a PACEMAKER or similar type of vital life saving/preserving equipment" you may be adversely impacted by an electric shock or any current invasion to your body. (B) The REMOTE CONTROL UNIT is currently rated at IP65 this means that the unit is "totally protected against DUST and protected against LOW PRESSURE JETS of water from all directions & limited ingress (Penetration) permitted" NOTE: - Exposure to high-pressure water spray directed onto or in the vicinity of the remote control unit may cause water to penetrate the unit resulting in its malfunction. To prevent the remote possibility of this occurring, clients should ensure: (a) The removal of the Remote Control Unit before using a high pressure jet/spray (b) Place the Remote Control Unit in a sealed protective bag strong enough to withstand the pressures being applied to it. (c) Instruct ALL OPERATORS in the care and use of the Remote Control Unit against water penetration. (C) There exists a low risk that BURNS could also be caused by a (D.C.) Direct Current discharge. NOTE: -
These risks do not only apply to equipment supplied and maintained by Tieman Industries, but are risks inherent in the operation of ANY electrical equipment.
3. ALL MANUAL HANDLING INFORMATION
•
In all states there exists OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY Legislation including (Manual Handling) Regulations which require that an employer must ensure that manual handling likely to be a risk to health and safety is examined and assessed.
•
"Manual Handling" generally means any activity requiring the use of force exerted by a person to lift, push, pull, carry or otherwise move or restrain any animate or inanimate object.
•
Owners may find that they need to incorporate training in methods of Manual Handling appropriate for that manual handling task. An employer must make sure that an employee required to carry out any manual handling is provided with appropriate training.
4. SAFETY INFORMATION – STANDING ON WHEELCHAIR LOADER DURING OPERATIONS
•
If it is necessary for any person to stand on the Wheelchair Loader as a necessary work function a safe work procedure must be developed by the employer based on the Risk Assessments provided and an assessment of the actual working environment
•
There is a risk of injury to any operator due to falling off the loader, potential shear/crush injuries, and injury due to sudden movement the Wheelchair either on the platform, inside vehicle or whilst loading a vehicle.
Tieman Industries does NOT accept any responsibility for any injuries sustained for any person riding on the Wheelchair Loader during its operation or standing on it at any time. Authorised by: Eng S’visor MH VA>Owners manuals

SAFETY INFORMATION 5. POTENTIAL SHEAR / CRUSH INJURY ZONES .
•
When a Wheelchair Loader is being operated through any phase of its Functional Capabilities, there is potential for INJURY to occur through CRUSHING or SHEARING to many areas of the body.
•
If correct adherence to the recommended SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS contained within this Manual are observed, then such injuries will not occur or will be prevented to as low as is reasonably possible.
•
The vigilance, care, concentration and competency of anyone operating a Wheelchair Loader at any time must be of the highest level.
•
Injuries can occur not only to the operator, but to other work-mates and to members of the public. Therefore tailgates should ONLY BE OPERATED by FULLY TRAINED and COMPETENT operators.
6
UNAUTHORISED ADJUSTMENTS OF FLOW CONTROL VALVE:
•
No unauthorised adjustments are to be made to any part of the hydraulic system to increase the descent rate of any Wheelchair Loader as this increases the risk of injury, and any resulting injury occurring due to this action would most likely result in a more severe injury.
7
INJURY ZONES.
•
These zones or areas are usually the areas where; (a) The Wheelchair Loader closes up on any part of the vehicle’s body. (b) Any part of the loader or mechanisms that close up on any part, or housed in any part of the tailgate. (c) The surface area at ground level equal to the dimensions of the actual loader platform plus any travel distance due to its mechanical action.
i.e. if a loader is 1.300m x .9m and during its raising/lowering action it moves away .3m from the vehicle body, the potential impact area becomes 1.5m x .9m from its installed position. NOTE: The same principles apply to all Wheelchair Loader regardless of where they are fitted. 8
BATTERY ISOLATION SWITCH
•
Owner to ensure all potential operators of the unit are aware of a potential LOW RISK of injury when ISOLATING the battery switch IF the loader is operated unexpectedly by any persons.
•
This could occur because a person may place an arm between the loader platform and vehicle in some models to reach the battery isolation switch allowing the possibility of a shear/crush injury to occur.
NOTE: This practice is NOT the recommended action to operate the battery isolation switch.
9. MAINTENANCE/REPAIR OF WHEELCHAIR LOADER. - Potential Injuries •
Inadvertent operation during ANY maintenance or repair activity on a Wheelchair Loader could cause injury.
•
To prevent this from occurring, The person performing any maintenance/repair activity is to REMOVE the Battery Isolation Switch Key and keep it securely in their possession until the activity is completed.

SAFETY INFORMATION 10. SAFETY INFORMATION – WHEELCHAIR LOADERS •
If Wheelchairs, powered or non-powered are uncontrolled by operator on attendant and hit the roll stops, there is a potential risk of the Wheelchair & Occupant toppling off the platform.
•
Owners should ensure that all operators are made aware of these dangers.
11. SAFETY INFORMATION - POWER PACKS •
Customers should be aware of the dangers of Power Packs fitted to the "roadside" position of any vehicle.
•
It is TIEMAN INDUSTRIES PTY LTD recommendation that power packs should ONLY be fitted to the "KERBSIDE" of a vehicle.
•
However, there are situations when customers need to have either a single power pack fitted to the "roadside" position or have "dual side" power packs fitted.
•
In this event Owners should ensure that all operators are instructed of the risks of "roadside" operation, i.e. the potential for being struck by other passing vehicles. Operators should be aware of the "recommended" safe positions in which to operate the Wheelchair Loader when using either the "remote control unit".

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL OPERATING PROCEDURES These procedures are also detailed on the operating sign. Should for some reason the power pack or controls not operate the platform you can operate the loader manually in an emergency situation to either raise a Wheelchair/Passenger into the vehicle OR take Wheelchair/Passenger out of vehicle and lower to ground. When using these procedures attendant must observe all the precautions required for normal control. When using the emergency handle to operate the lowering valve do so very carefully. You only need to turn the handle a ½ to ¾ of a turn to make the platform lower. You can stop the lowering at any time by turning the valve back off gently. Caution: Operate the lower valve gently do not wind in or out too far. Do not exert force otherwise valve will be damaged and nothing will work.
Excessive over winding of valve may invalidate warranty.
