Installation and commissioning may only be performed by specially
trained personnel.
read the operating manual before installing and commis-
sioning the support device.
Observe the accident prevention regulations relating to vehicle mainte-
nance issued by the professional association and the Machine Safety Law.
Rear support devices are major safety components for tank truck opera-
tion. They are subject to high loads during the unloading process. Great
care and attention should therefore be given to their installation.
It is the vehicle builder's responsibility to specify the ground clearance.
The ground clearance has to be dimensioned such that no spacers are
necessary for height compensation.
The vehicle manufacturer has to adequately dimension connection and
bracing of the rear support devices and secure them free of tension. This
has to be clearly documented for the fitter and user.
We recommend that stops be fitted to relieve the strain on the securing
screws above the screw-on plate.
procedure:
z
Turn in both rear support devices up to the stop
z
Vertically align the rear support device
z
Install according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications
z
Observe required ground clearance!
Always install and use the holder for the crank handle. it
is for your own safety!
z
After installation, perform a function test.
If the components are not installed correctly, manufacturer and suppliers
will not accept any claims under the warranty.
Vehicle painTing:
when painting the rear support device, switch gear into low
gear to prevent paint from penetrating into the grooves on
the selector shaft!
6. hAnDLing of reAr support DeVice
Perform loading and unloading according to the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions. Observe all specifications, notes, warning and safety
instructions.
exTending The rear supporT deVice
it is not permitted to use spacers for height compensation.
z
Park the tank truck on firm, even ground
(see the operating manual for the tank truck)
z
Check the rear support device for signs of damage, if neces-
sary have the support repaired before use
z
In order to actuate the rear support device, swing the crank
handle out of its holder and engage it on the crankshaft.
z
Switch to high gear:
Pull out the crankshaft with the crank handle until the
catch engages (a slight turning movement will make it
easier to engage).
z
Extend the rear support device by turning the crank
handle clockwise.
the rear support device should be extended and
retracted quickly to bridge ground clearance
z
Switch to high gear:
Push the crankshaft in with the crank handle until the
catch engages (a slight turning movement will make
it easier to engage).
switch from high gear to low gear before the
foot reaches the ground.
z
Ensure both supports are making ground contact
