TOUCH CONTROL—OWNER’S MANUAL
ISSUE DATE: MAY 23, 2017 REV.6 (PART # 038-844E)
2.4 OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
1. The owner should recognize the inherent danger of the
interface between the dock and the freight carrier. The owner
should, therefore, train and instruct operators in the safe use
of the dock equipment and accessories in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. The owner should thoroughly familiarize themselves with
the following procedures and specifications, and request
immediate replacement of all manufacturer-supplied
documents that are missing, damaged, or otherwise illegible.
• Installation instructions
• Operating instructions
• Planned maintenance procedures
• Inspections procedures
• Replacement parts lists
Upon receipt of any newly purchased dock equipment, the
owner shall verify the presence of owner’s manuals, operating
placards, and any other documentation necessary for
training dock personnel how to use the equipment safely and
effectively.
3. Manufacturer’s recommended periodic maintenance and
inspection procedures shall be followed, and written records
of the performance of these procedures should be kept as per
warranty guidelines.
4. Dock equipment that is structurally damaged, experiencing
performance irregularities, or has been potentially
compromised (i.e. sudden loss of support due to premature
truck departure) shall be removed from service until a trained
and authorized manufacturer’s representative can conduct an
inspection and perform any necessary repairs.
5. As with any piece of machinery, dock equipment requires
routine maintenance, lubrication, and adjustments. Your
local Blue Giant
®
representative offers owners the option
of a Planned Maintenance Program (P.M.P.). As part of this
service, your local Blue Giant
representative will do all routine
maintenance, lubrication, and adjustments.
6. The owner shall ensure that all nameplates, caution/
instruction markings or labels are in place and legible, and
that the appropriate operating/maintenance manuals are
provided to authorized users. Replacement name plates,
caution/instruction labels, and manuals containing operating
and maintenance instructions are available through the
Blue Giant Aftermarket Solutions Department. See Section
10.0 "
Decal Identification and Location
" for more information.
7. Modifications or alterations of dock equipment shall be made
only with written permission of the original manufacturer. These
changes shall also satisfy all safety recommendations of the
original equipment manufacturer for the particular application
of the dock equipment.
8. The owner or a trained and authorized representative shall
verify that all freight carrier brakes have been applied and a
vehicle restraint and/or wheel chocks properly engaged before
cross-docking procedures such as loading and unloading
begin.
9. Unless specifically agreed to in writing by Blue Giant
Equipment Corporation at the time of order (and prior to
manufacture), all Blue Giant Dock equipment is sold as a
complete offering, and must not be altered or added to in
any manner (which includes configuration and function)
without written permission from an authorized manufacturer’s
representative.
10. If, at the request of the owner, Blue Giant does not supply
all or some of the dock equipment power unit and/or control
panel components, the owner shall assume responsibility for
any and all operational and safety issues associated with the
resulting configuration.
