DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
3.2 POSSIBLE DEfECTS
If failures occur, the risk of unsafe operation of the leveller increases. Operation of the defec-
tive leveller may cause injury to people and damage to objects. For troubleshooting refer to
organisations accredited by the ALUTECH group of companies.
3.3 OPERATION IN EXTREME CONDITIONS
In case you need to immediately halt the dock leveller, turn the red-yellow power switch into
the ‘
0
’ position. This will result in leveller movement blocking. Leveller movement blocking
happens in the following cases:
•
when the switch is moved into ‘
0
’ position;
•
when the mains power supply is cut.
After the mains power supply is restored it is necessary to press the platform lift button. The
dock leveller will return into freewheel mode.
3.4 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Maintenance procedure is described in detail in the relevant section of the service book, which
you can download from the website alutech-group.com .
Difficult equipment handling operations call for professional knowledge. For your safety we
strongly recommend that you take out a contract for aftersales service with an organisation
accredited by ALUTECH GC.
The place under the platform needs to be kept clean. Debris accumulation prevents dock leveller
from functioning normally. Leveller pivot joints should be clean and free from dirt, stones and
other rubbish. Platform surface should be clean and dry. Don’t use aggressive substances or salt
to clean the platform. This may lead to corrosion.
4. DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
If dock leveller is out of order it should be carefully disassembled and recycled. The disassembly
procedure is given below:
•
before disassembly make sure the platform is in the inoperative position;
•
deactivate supply voltage;
•
drain any hydraulic oil, disassemble all hydraulic units and recycle them according to
current requirements and directions;
•
after that fully disassemble the platform and take away all its parts. Appropriate
organisations may recommission dock leveller parts. If the platform is to be installed in
another place it is necessary to check operation safety according to new conditions of use;
•
pass this manual and documentation on the control unit together with the platform to
the company dealing in disposal.
