C)
The vehicle (pump) must be fitted with a pressure relief valve that is set to 250 bar [3,625 psi]. 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.
G)
The pressure filter element needs to be replaced at least once a year. If the couplings between the vehicle and
the Cargo Floor system are regularly removed, it is advisable to check the pressure filter for dirt build-up and
replace the pressure filter element more often, if necessary. If provided, also check the return filter (not
supplied with the Cargo Floor). Failure to replace a filter element on time may cause damage to or
malfunctions in the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
H)
Moving parts must be shielded. Always maintain at least 10m [30’] distance from the Cargo Floor system
when it is in operation.
I)
In the event of malfunctions/maintenance work, you may approach the Cargo Floor system only if all
equipment, including the hydraulic pump, has been shut off, and the Cargo Floor system and the electro-
hydraulic aggregate have been disconnected from the power supply and pump.
J)
Regularly check and, if necessary, tighten any loose bolts that secure the aluminium floor profiles to the
Cargo Floor system. All such checks can simply be performed inside the vehicle itself by qualified
personnel. The Cargo Floor system must, however, be turned on in unloaded condition and the person
performing the check must place his finger half on the floor profile and half on the bolt. There should be no
appreciable movement/space between the floor profile and bolt. Failure to check these bolts may lead to
damage to the Cargo Floor system. During this check, a second person must also be present to switch off the
Cargo Floor system.
K)
Check that the minimum required amount of oil is present (150 ltr. [40 gallon]) Too little oil in the hydraulic
tank will cause damage to both the pump and the Cargo Floor system.
L)
Do not allow the number of strokes to exceed the maximum allowable 16 power strokes per minute. Only a
Power speed Cargo Floor system may deliver up to 23 beats per minute. A higher number of power strokes
can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
M)
Hydraulic lines, couplings and hoses with very small diameters will cause damage.
N)
If the Cargo Floor system fails to start or operates incorrectly, the Cargo Floor system and the hydraulic
pump must be shut down immediately. Subsequently, check all the checkpoints before switching the pump
and the Cargo Floor system back on. To prevent the oil from overheating, regularly check the oil temperature
by CAREFULLY and CAUTIOUSLY touching the line and or oil tank. If either is too hot to the touch, stop
touching them right away. WARNING: TOUCHING OVERHEATED OIL AND COMPONENTS CAN
CAUSE BURNS!
O)
The cause of failure or malfunctioning of the Cargo Floor system may also be due to other hydraulic
components that may or may not be connected to the same hydraulic circuit of the Cargo Floor system.
P)
Jamming of the floor profiles caused by the transport of abnormal loads and or the freezing of the floor or of
the product to the floor may result in damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle. Recommendation:
in the event of freezing, stop the system and try to find a hall (heated area) to allow the product to thaw.
Q)
Because the electrical power supply of the Cargo Floor system is often connected to the lighting circuit of
the vehicle, it is advisable to turn on the lighting throughout the operation of the system.
R)
Maintenance and repairs to the Cargo Floor system may be only performed by qualified personnel. Use only
original Cargo Floor components to ensure maximum reliability and long service life.
S)
Maximum cargo weight is subject to the limits set by law and applicable regulations. Even if the system can
transport heavier loads, the law determines the maximum limit. Excessively heavy cargo can cause damage
to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
