For this goal to be achieved, it is essential that all the authorized users/operators (“user”) read this man-ual carefully, and understand and practice the precautionary safety measures recommended in it. The owner and/or operating authority determines who the user is. This User Manual can only be of any use if the oper-ator and/or user has access to it at all times. Therefore, always keep a copy of it accessible to the oper-ator and/or user near this device.

ANYONE OPERATING THIS DEVICE MUST READ THIS USER MANUAL.

1.0 RECEIVING INSPECTION

1.1 Inspect for visible damage of the crate(s). If there is outside damage, note on the shipping doc-uments, and report to commercial carrier. Determine whether or not to accept or refuse the crate(s).

Sign if appropriate.

2.0 UNCRATING

2.1 Upon acceptance of the container, inspect for any damage to the device immediately following uncrating. In the event the device is damaged, DO NOT use parallel bar if damaged, file a merchandise damage report immediately with the delivering carrier. DO NOT return damaged merchandise to Tri W- G unless instructed to do so. Call for a Return Authorization Number prior to returning any merchan-dise. DO NOT use parallel bar and/or any bar sections if they have been damaged.

2.2 Locate the assembly components/tools in the cardboard box containing the hand rails; you will need them to assemble the parallel bar after uncrating. Remove all packaging material from the paral-lel bar sections. Once again, inspect device for damage, including, but not limited to, the chain system underneath each of the parallel bar platform sections. In the event of shipping damage, report it to the delivering carrier and Tri W-G, Inc. immediately.

Figure 2.3.1

Figure 2.3.2

Figure 2.3.3

2.4 Properly dispose of/or recycle all packaging material.

3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 WARNING! Excessive Weight Hazard. Use appropriate pallet jack(s), lifting devices, and/or equipment, adequate to lift approximately 650 lbs minimum, and we recommend four or more people to move/install the platform sections. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, death, and/or proper-ty damage. When moving the parallel bar sections/parallel bar to its desired location, use proper mov-ing/lifting techniques and/or body mechanics per commercial carrier and/or the facility handling protocol or guidelines; this due to its immense weight and overall size.

3.2 Stationary Device; the parallel bar is not intended to be moved from one place to another. If applicable state laws require the device to be fastened or otherwise secured at a specific location either permanently or so that it can only be detached by means of a tool, this is an acceptable install. However, prior to affixing the parallel bar temporarily and/or permanently, installer must obtain specifications for doing so from Tri W-G, Inc.; placing fasteners in the wrong location may cause the parallel bar to become inoperable.

3.3 There is some assembly required. (Refer to Assembly Instructions on page 3, Sec. 4.0)

3.4 Complete assembly process described in Sec. 4.0, Assembly Instructions, before powering-up (connecting to a live electrical receptacle or mains power source).

Figure 2.3.4

3.5 The power supply cord serves as a disconnect device from the main power source and/or as the on/off switch. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. DO NOT handle mains plug with wet hands. The receptacle shall be installed near the parallel bar and shall be easily accessible. The device has an appliance inlet with external accessible fuses in the line and neu-tral. The replacement fuses must be 5 x 20mm-10 Amp-Time Lag Fuses with High Breaking Capacity with a rated voltage of 250 VAC, 150 VDC. When changing the fuses, one must unplug the power sup-ply cord from the main source of power.

3.6 The parallel bar should be placed in a location based on its intended use. Position the parallel bar in an area having flat/level floors so that the parallel bar is not distorted out of alignment.

3.7 Arrange power supply cord away from the traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

3.8 DO NOT use with an extension cord.

3.9 STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and apply common sense.

4.0 ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -- A & B SECTIONS

4.1 Instructional Steps:

Step 1--LOCATION/ORIENTATION. Recheck the parallel bar location and its orientation: 1) floor must be level; 2) orientation of parallel bar allows for adequate space at each end of the paral-lel bar for wheelchair maneuverability; 3) a hospital grade electrical receptacle is nearby. Using an extension cord in conjunction with the parallel bar mains power cord does not meet the elec-trical code; therefore, any use of an extension cord is not acceptable.

Step 2--ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS. 1) Power Cord, 1 ea.; 2) Allen Wrenches, 6 ea. (1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16 and 1/4); 3) Shaft Line Cover Screws, 4 ea.; 4) Handrail Socket Head Cap Screws, 5/16-18 x 1, 4 ea.; A small rubber mallet and a 1/2 inch socket wrench are required to assemble, but not provided.

Step 3--CAUTION. DO NOT rotate line shafts extended from the motors on section “A” or those located on the non-motor section “B”. The line shafts have been timed and limit control adjust-ments set at the factory. Any questions you may have during assembly regarding the line shafts, please call the Tri W-G Service Deptartment at 1-800-437-8011.

Step 4--CONNECT SECTIONS “A” & “B”. Align the motor section “A” with the non-motor section “B” as shown in Figures 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. As previously noted, the line shafts, keyways and cou-plers are already in alignment from the factory. Gently slide the motor section “A” into the non-motor section “B” and fasten the two together using the 5/16-18 x 3/4 hex head cap screws w/ star washer (use the hex head cap screws and star washers removed from the shipping crate mounts as the fasteners). Connecting plates are located on both sides of the section platforms and tapped to receive hex head cap screws.

Figure 4.1.1

Figure 4.1.2

Step 5--CONNECT LINE SHAFT COUPLERS. Slide the line shaft couplers located on section “B” onto the line shafts in section “A”. A gentle tap, using a rubber mallet, on the line shaft couplers on section “B” may be necessary to slide them onto the line shafts on section “A”. Align the line shaft couplers directly across from each other, fully engaging them onto the keyway; then tight-en set screws on couplers with allen wrenches provided.

Step 6--INSTALL LINE SHAFT COVER. Simply place the line shaft cover over the line shaft mecha-nism and fasten using the four self-tapping screws provided.

Step 7--ATTACH HANDRAILS. Connect the handrail sections as shown in Figure 4.1.3 as follows:

Two of the handrails have a handrail sleeve inserted into them at the factory with the set screws tightened. Take the two handrails without sleeve inserts and insert them as per the markings on the handrails. Make sure the tapped holes are aligned with on both handrail tubes. Once joined, tighten the set screws; you now have two handrails ready to install onto the parallel bar stan-chions. The countersunk holes on the handrail supports must be facing toward the middle or center of the parallel bar. Then, fasten the handrails to the stanchions of the parallel bar as shown in Figure 4.1.4, using the socket head cap screws, 5/16-18x1 provided.

Figure 4.1.3

Step 8--FINAL INSPECTION PRIOR TO POWERING UP DEVICE. Visually inspect handrails for horizon-tal and vertical alignment. If the floor is not level or is irregular, some variation will be apparent.

The parallel bar will operate with the handrails slightly distorted; however, there may be exces-sive noise and due to the possibility of a slight distortion existing, some binding may occur;

hence, the life cycle of the parallel bar may be shortened. Every effort should be made to cor-rect any distortion of the parallel bar and/or move the parallel bar to a different location. If need be, give our Tri W-G Service Department a call at 1-800-437-8011

Step 9--RUNNER MAT PLACEMENT. A runner mat has been provided to lay on top of the parallel bar platform. It should be placed down the center of the parallel bar as shown in Figure 4.1.5.

It is approximately 12 inches longer than the overall length of the parallel bar, including any tapered extension attachments. After runner has been positioned on the parallel bar platform, allow it to lay flat at room temperature allowing any distortions in the runner mat to dissipate. End user may cut runner mat to length desired. With runner mat cut to desired length, cut double sided tape to the correct overall width of the mat. Peel one side off of the tape, place it at the edge of the platform or tapered extension (if one has been added), as shown in Figure 4.1.6.

Using one’s hand, press the tape down onto the platform or tapered extension. Now, peel the tape protector film off the double backed tape and lay the runner mat down (make sure it is aligned correctly prior to laying it down). Using your hand, press runner mat down on top of tape.

Upon completion of placement, by observation, make sure there are no issues which would cause someone to trip on the runner mat.
