Y)
It is at all times advisable to stop the Cargo Floor system when all the piston rods are retracted.
This is usually the case when the floor profiles are positioned towards the unloading end (vehicle
doors). Unretracted piston rods may cause damage to the Cargo Floor system.
Z)
To prevent damage to the floor profiles, exercise caution and limit the dump height as much as
possible. The transport of unauthorised goods, such as aggressive, corrosive, hot, hard, sharp and
viscous materials may cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle. Avoid loading
and unloading sharp objects. Loads that are softer than the hardness of the floor profiles will
extend the service life of your system; if in doubt, use a protective cloth or consult your dealer.
AA) Forklift trafficable. In principle, the floors are completely trafficable and can be driven over by
forklifts, but always consult your dealer for advice on the maximum loads allowed on your vehicle.
Overloading will cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
BB) Always return emergency control(s) to their original non-activated position after use.
CC) During the operation of the system, test the temperature of the oil by touching the side of the tank.
If the oil is so hot that you cannot continue to touch the tank, switch off the pump to allow the oil to
cool off and determine what is causing the overheating. Stop loading or unloading if the oil is too
hot, as this will irreversibly cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the other hydraulic
components.
WARNING: TOUCHING OVERHEATED OIL AND COMPONENTS CAN CAUSE BURNS AND
INJURIES!
Option: your Cargo Floor system could be equipped with an oil temperature safety switch which will
switch off the system automatically when it starts to overheat.
DD) During loading and unloading operations, the load should be spread to give an even weight
distribution over the floor area, otherwise the load may stall. Tip: when transporting pallets, place
softwood boards of 300 x 18 x 2350 mm. [12” x 0.75” x 92.5”] to distribute the pressure more
evenly.
EE) The constant pressing of the load against the head board or the doors can lead to extra wear of
the complete system. Also the construction can be damaged. Please consult your supplier about
the optimizing possibilities or in order to prevent problems occurring.
FF) The user/operator/driver that is operating the Cargo Floor system is compelled to remain a safe
distance from the Cargo Floor system at all times, from the time of switching on the hydraulic pump
until turning it off. He should ensure that no dangerous situations can occur. When the process
malfunctions or if other people are present he should shut down the Cargo Floor system, or
hydraulic pump, immediately.
GG) No unauthorized alterations/modifications/changes/adjustments may be made to any part of the
Cargo Floor drive unit and system.
