OPERATION
Seals shall be wet while operating. If the slide gate has not been used for a long period of time under dry
conditions, the seals shall be wetted with clear water before operating the slide gate. Operating the gate with dry
seals may damage them, and additional thrust might be required to operate the slide. Please refer to section 7.1 for
detailed information about the required grease type.
The following equipment can be used to lift up the gate or logs:
o
Hand-pull: the slide or logs are equipped with handles. ORBINOX recommends the use of other methods
for pull out forces higher tan 50kg [110 pounds], or 25kg per person [55 pounds]. Refer to the GAD for
pull out force detailed information. Hand poles can be supplied for remote operation.
o
External crane: the slide or logs are equipped with bull eyes to be lifted with an external crane.
Optionally, a lifting device (beam) can be supplied.
