MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
When works require turning on the floor you should take care of that the floor can be shut down
immediately at any time. Places where clamping/clasping of body parts is possible may not be
approached when the system is moving.
For more detailed explanation of the execution of the works we would like to refer you to our website:

Check for the end user / owner after receipt of the new Cargo Floor trailer
Check a couple of days after receipt of the new trailer and / or after 10 loads / unloads and after one
month the connection between the aluminium floor profiles and the Cargo Floor system. You do this by
placing your finger half on the screw and half on the floor profile when the floor is operating.
Important: if you feel a difference in movement between the screw and the floor profile it means the floor
profile is not fastened enough. The screw connection of the whole profile group this concerns needs to
be renewed with new screws in accordance to the fastenings guidelines mentioned in the assembly
instructions (see www.cargofloor.com, downloads). Also the countersunk hole needs to be cleaned
properly. Do not check the screw connections with the help of an Allen key and do not simply just tighten
the screws, the Loctite connection will be broken.
Specifications of the screws:
M12 x 30 countersunk screws with hexagon socket, class 10.9, galvanized. DIN 7991 (dacromet). The
torque is 100
– 140 Nm [72 – 105 lbf.ft.]
Regular checks and preventive maintenance
To ensure that your Cargo Floor system operates reliably and has a long life, it is important that you
regularly perform careful checks on the following aspects:
- Replace the filter element every year, or more often if needed
- Change the oil every 2 years, or more frequently if required;
- The level of oil in the tank. See for oil levels and the oil specifications the wet kit information
- Floor profiles: are they still fixed, replace screws if necessary!
- Check the guide blocks for the 3 piston rods for wear
- Check the coupling nuts and couplings of all hydraulic components, and adjust if necessary!
- Oil tank: by taking the lid off the tank, you can remove any remains (condensation, dirt etc.) from the
bottom.
- Return-/pressure filter: by removing the filter lid/chamber you can check the filter element, or after
about one year replace it.
- Check the seal between the two fixated floor profiles and the moving profiles. If a margin exists in-
between, then adjust the fixated floor profiles, in order for the sealing to be optimal and leakage via
the side walls is prevented.
This is all necessary to avoid internal wear (of the pump/cylinders etc., for example).
New filter parts are available at your system builder.
For the right type we refer you to our “exploded
views” which you can find on our website: www.cargofloor.com, downloads.
We want to emphasize that the minimal costs of replacing dirty parts or oil do not match the costs and
discomfort that can arise.
