5.18 Maintenance
The maintenance guidelines for normal pallet trucks apply to the chassis of the mobile
weighing system. From experience we know that the integrated weighing system still functions
when the chassis is damaged by overloading.
Main guidelines:
•
Because the steering wheels are mounted in the front, pulling of the pallet truck is
preferred above pushing it.
•
When the lifting mechanism is not used, the handle should be kept in the neutral, middle
position. This prolongs the life span of the sealings.
•
The weighing system meets up to the protection class IP65. This means that dust or
moisture (rain or water beam from all sides), will not influence the operation of the
electronics. However, high-pressure cleansing in combination with warm water or
chemical cleansers will lead to the entry of moisture and therefore negatively influence
the operation of the system.
•
Only specialists may undertake any welding. This is to avoid damage to electronics and
load cells.
•
The bearings of the wheels (non-polyurethane) and the pivoting points of the levelling
bar of the loading wheels must be cleansed and greased regularly.
•
All safety regulations that apply to the pallet truck remain valid and unchanged;
•
No weighing operations are allowed if any persons or objects are in the vicinity; around,
under or close to the load;
•
Any modifications done to the system must be approved in writing by the supplier, prior
to any work being completed;
•
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to train their own employees in the proper
use and maintenance of this equipment;
•
Do not operate this unit unless you have been fully trained in its capabilities;
•
Check the accuracy of the scale on a regular basis to prevent faulty readings;
•
Only trained and authorized personnel are allowed to service the scale;
•
Always follow the operating, maintenance and repair instructions of the pallet truck and
ask the supplier when in doubt;
•
RAVAS is not responsible for errors that occur due to incorrect weighings or inaccurate
scales.
