5.6 Emergency! Platform moved by mechanical means
In an emergency – for example, the liftgate breaks down while open – lifting and/or
closing the liftgate by mechanical means instead of hydraulically causes the hydraulic
cylinders to be filled with air. This means that the safety valves (solenoid valves) are out
of order. Under these circumstances, the careless and/or incorrect opening and lowering
of the liftgate could result in serious injury or death due to the liftgate free-falling to the
ground. In this case, secure the liftgate using ropes, straps, or chains and affix a
clear
warning notice
:
DANGER
Caution!
Serious risk of death or injury!
The liftgate is unsecured and must be operated only by trained personnel.
All the safety devices are out of order.
The platform was closed by mechanical means and opening it could result
in death!
IMPORTANT
If the liftgate breaks down in this way, contact customer service or an authorized repair
shop for more information.
DANGER
Danger! Serious risk of death or injury!
When the liftgate is unsecured and the safety devices (e.g. solenoid valves) are out of
order, the operator can lose control of the liftgate.
Under these circumstances, the
careless and/or incorrect opening and lowering of the liftgate could result in serious injury
or death due to the liftgate free-falling to the ground.
The platform must be secured against opening.
Drive no further than the nearest repair shop.
The platform may be opened only with the aid of a crane or forklift.
