IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE COMMISSIONING
Before putting the Cargo Floor loading and unloading system into operation, follow the recommendations
provided below and check the specified checkpoints to avoid damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
Please review the important instructions before operating the Cargo Floor system and loading cargo into the
vehicle. Likewise, before loading cargo, check the operation of the various control switches/valves to familiarise
yourself with how the system works. We strongly recommend that you perform these checks when picking up the
vehicle from the dealer so that a resident expert can answer your questions and provide you with any necessary
advice or guidance you may require.
Important:
Always check that the selected loading or unloading direction is actually activated and occurring!!
If the system fails to start, turn off the Cargo Floor system and the hydraulic pump and follow the
recommendations and guidelines provided below. Do not repeatedly try to start the system as this may
result in damage to your Cargo Floor system and/or vehicle.
After use, turn off the Cargo Floor system and hydraulic pump. Set switches to the "0" position and the
lever in neutral.
In case of doubt or uncertainty about these recommendations and guidelines, always contact your dealer or an
official workshop.
The Cargo Floor system comes standard with an operating manual, but is this has not been supplied, please contact
your dealer or download it from the official Cargo Floor website:

A)
Always open the vehicle's doors before turning on the hydraulic pump. Note! Build-up of pressure against
the doors can force them open, which may cause some of the cargo to fall out of the vehicle. That is why it is
always advisable to use the pneumatic lock, if provided.
B)
1. Check that the vehicle's (quick-detachable) couplings are properly connected to the P (Pressure line, min.
20mm) and the T (tank/return line, min. 25mm). Also check that the couplings are fully tightened or slid
completely into each other.
IMPORTANT: the pressure and return line connectors may not be reversed or exchanged
to prevent
dirt or water from entering the lines when connecting them!
2. Before connecting, check that the non-return valves can open easily (check: the non-return valves should
open easily when pressed with the finger, if not, potential pressure build-up in the hydraulic lines may be
preventing the system from starting).
NOTE: Incorrectly connected or unopened hydraulic couplings will cause serious damage to the Cargo Floor
system and the vehicle.
C)
The vehicle (pump) must be fitted with a pressure relief valve that is set to 250 bar. If fitted, check that the
dual-function lever (function: tipper/Cargo Floor) is in the Cargo Floor position. Pressure may not exceed the
maximum adjusted and allowable operating pressure of the Cargo Floor system. An incorrectly adjusted
pressure relief valve can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
D)
During operation, the (hand)brake of the vehicle must always be applied. You must, however, move the
vehicle forward on time to unload it quickly in order to prevent unnecessary strain and wear to the floor and
the vehicle.
E)
Use of a wireless remote control is permitted only if it is fully tested before the start of each loading or
unloading operation. Always check if the function you have selected is actually activated and taking place. If,
for example, you have accidentally pressed the load function when you actually meant to press the unload
function, irreversible damage may occur to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
F)
During operation of the Cargo Floor system, all existing
STOP and control knobs/levers must be freely accessible.
G)
The pressure filter element needs to be replaced at least once a year. If the couplings between the vehicle and
the Cargo Floor system are regularly removed, it is advisable to check the pressure filter for dirt build-up and
replace the pressure filter element more often, if necessary. If provided, also check the return filter (not
supplied with the Cargo Floor). Failure to replace a filter element on time may cause damage to or
malfunctions in the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
