IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS AND GUIDELINES
Before putting the Cargo Floor loading and unloading system into operation, follow the recommendations
provided below and check the specified checkpoints to avoid damage to the Cargo Floor system and the
vehicle.
Please review the important instructions before operating the Cargo Floor system and loading cargo into
the vehicle. Likewise, before loading cargo, check the operation of the various control switches/valves to
familiarise yourself with how the system works. We strongly recommend that you perform these checks
when picking up the vehicle from the dealer so that your skilled supplier can answer your questions and
provide you with any necessary advice or guidance you may require.
Important:
Always check that the selected loading or unloading direction is actually activated and occurring!!
If the system fails to start, turn off the Cargo Floor system and the hydraulic pump and follow the
recommendations and guidelines provided below. Do not repeatedly try to start the system as this
may result in damage to your Cargo Floor system and/or vehicle.
After use, turn off the Cargo Floor system and hydraulic pump. Set switches to the "0" position and
the lever in neutral.
In case of doubt or uncertainty about these recommendations and guidelines, always contact your dealer
or an official workshop.
The Cargo Floor system comes standard with an operating manual, but is this has not been supplied,
please contact your dealer or download it from the official Cargo Floor website: www.cargofloor.com,

A)
Always open the vehicle's doors before turning on the hydraulic pump. Note! Build-up of pressure
against the doors can open them with force. Also some of the cargo can fall out of the vehicle by
itself after opening the doors, therefore KEEP CLEAR AT ALL TIMES, product could fall on top of
you! Both could result in damages and/or injuries! It is always advisable to use the pneumatic door
lock, if provided.
B)
1. Check that the vehicle's (quick-detachable) couplings are properly connected to the P (Pressure
line) and the T (tank/return line). Also check that the couplings are fully tightened or slid completely
into each other.
IMPORTANT: the pressure and return line connectors may not be reversed or exchanged
to
prevent dirt or water from entering the lines when connecting them!
2. Before connecting, check that the non-return valves can open easily (check: the non-return
valves should open easily when pressed with the finger, if not, potential pressure build-up in the
hydraulic lines may be preventing the system from starting).
NOTE: Incorrectly connected or unopened hydraulic couplings will cause serious damage to the
Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
C)
The vehicle (pump) must be fitted with a pressure relief valve that is set at the maximum pressure
according to the system, see the technical specs. If fitted, check that the dual-function lever
(function: tipper/Cargo Floor) is in the Cargo Floor position. Pressure may not exceed the
maximum adjusted and allowable operating pressure of the Cargo Floor system. An incorrectly
adjusted pressure relief valve can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
D)
During operation, the (hand)brake of the vehicle must always be applied. You must, however,
move the vehicle forward on time to unload it quickly in order to prevent unnecessary strain and
wear to the floor and the vehicle.
E)
Use of a wireless remote control is permitted only if it is fully tested before the start of each loading
or unloading operation. Always check if the function you have selected is actually activated and
taking place. If, for example, you have accidentally pressed the load function when you actually
meant to press the unload function, irreversible damage may occur to the Cargo Floor system and
the vehicle.
F)
During operation of the Cargo Floor system, all existing STOP and control knobs/levers must be
freely accessible.
