Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Roller Head:

  1. Prepare the Jack Stand: Ensure your summer jack stand is fully assembled, stable, and placed on a flat, level surface. Refer to your jack stand's instruction manual for proper setup.
  2. Mount the Roller Head: Align the mounting plate of the Roller Head with the top of your jack stand. Secure the Roller Head to the jack stand using the appropriate fasteners or locking mechanisms provided with your jack stand. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
  3. Adjust Rollers (if necessary): The Roller Head is designed to accommodate pipes from 2 to 10 inches. The rollers are adjustable to ensure proper contact and support for different pipe diameters. Adjust the roller spacing as needed to cradle the pipe securely.
  4. Verify Stability: Before placing any pipe on the Roller Head, gently test its stability and ensure all connections are tight.

Operating Instructions

To operate the Roller Head safely and efficiently:

  1. Position the Pipe: Carefully lift and place the pipe onto the rollers of the Roller Head. Ensure the pipe is centered and rests evenly on both rollers.
  2. Maintain Balance: While working with the pipe, always maintain its balance on the rollers. The rollers are designed to allow smooth rotation and movement of the pipe for various tasks such as cutting, welding, or threading.
  3. Monitor Load: Do not overload the Roller Head or the jack stand. Excessive weight can lead to instability or damage.
  4. Supervise Movement: Always supervise the pipe's movement on the rollers to prevent it from rolling off or causing injury.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the safe operation of your Roller Head:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the Roller Head to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Use a damp cloth if necessary, and dry thoroughly.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the rollers for smooth operation. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the frame and rollers.
  • Lubrication: The roller bearings are designed for durability, but occasional light lubrication with a general-purpose grease can help maintain smooth rotation, especially in dusty or wet environments.
  • Storage: Store the Roller Head in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and corrosive materials.
