Using the Gate System:
Place materials, e.g. palletized goods, between the side gates. Pull down the top gate and confirm that its legs
contact the floor. After the load has been moved, put the bottom gate down.
Inspecting and Maintaining the System:
Written record — after installing the product and before using it for the first time, make a written record that
describes its appearance and functions. Raise and lower the top and bottom gates. Describe the motion of the
gates and any sounds heard as they rotate. Thoroughly photograph the unit and each label. Add the photos to the
record. Describe where each label is located.
This record establishes normal condition
. When conducting the
following inspections, compare your observations to the record to determine if the system is in normal condition. Do
not use it unless it is in normal condition.
Cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat do not constitute
changes from normal condition
. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as
damage occurs. Contact Technical Service (contact information appears on the cover page) if you have questions
that are not addressed in these instructions.
Inspect the following components at least once per month:
1.
Gates
: inspect each gate for damage such as bends, breaks, corrosion, and damage caused by impacts with
vehicles or other objects. Confirm that all welds are intact.
2.
Fasteners/hardware
: closely examine all fasteners including anchor bolts. Make sure that all connections are
solid. Tighten connections as necessary. Inspect the surface where anchor bolts are installed for damage. If the
surface is damaged in a way that affects the connection with one or more anchor bolts and cannot be repaired,
then the mezzanine system will have to be disassembled and reinstalled in another location. Pay particular
attention to the pivot point connections (Step 2 on p. 9). Make sure that the bolts and spacers are not bent,
rusty, cracked, etc. Replace any fastener that is not in normal condition.
3.
Support braces
: inspect both braces. Look for cracks, warps, bends, etc. Replace a brace if it is damaged.
Labeling Diagram:
The unit should be labeled as shown in the diagrams. Label
content and location are subject to change so your product might
not be labeled exactly as shown. Thoroughly photograph the unit
when you install it as discussed in the “Written Record” portion of
the Inspections and Maintenance section on p. 10. Make sure
that your record includes a photograph of each label. Replace
any label that is, or later becomes, damaged, missing, or not
easily readable (e.g. faded). To order replacement labels,
contact the technical service and parts department online at
http://www.vestilmfg.com/parts_info.htm
. Alternatively, request
replacement parts and/or service by calling (260) 665-7586 and
asking the operator to connect you to the Parts Department.
