H)
Moving parts must be shielded. Always maintain at least 10m distance from the Cargo Floor system when it
is in operation.
I)
In the event of malfunctions/maintenance work, you may approach the Cargo Floor system only if all
equipment, including the hydraulic pump, have been shut off, and the Cargo Floor system and the electro-
hydraulic aggregate have been disconnected from the power supply and pump.
J)
Regularly check and, if necessary, tighten any loose bolts that secure the aluminium floor profiles to the
Cargo Floor system. All such checks can simply be performed inside the vehicle itself by qualified personnel.
The Cargo Floor system must, however, be turned on in unloaded condition and the person performing the
check must place his finger half on the floor profile and half on the bolt. There should be no appreciable
movement/space between the floor profile and bolt. Failure to check these bolts may lead to damage to the
Cargo Floor system. During this check, a second person must also be present to switch off the Cargo Floor
system.
K)
Check that the minimum required amount of oil is present (150L). Too little oil in the hydraulic tank will
cause damage to both the pump and the Cargo Floor system.
L)
Do not allow the number of strokes to exceed the maximum allowable 16 power strokes per minute. Only a
Powerspeed Cargo Floor system may deliver up to 23 beats per minute. A higher number of power strokes
can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
M)
Hydraulic lines, couplings and hoses with very small diameters will cause damage.
N)
If the Cargo Floor system fails to start or operates incorrectly, the Cargo Floor system and the hydraulic
pump must be shut down immediately. Subsequently, check all the checkpoints before switching the pump
and the Cargo Floor system back on. To prevent the oil from overheating, regularly check the oil temperature
by CAREFULLY and CAUTIOUSLY touching the line and or oil tank. If either is too hot to the touch, stop
touching them right away. WARNING: TOUCHING OVERHEATED OIL AND COMPONENTS CAN
CAUSE BURNS!
O)
The cause of failure or malfunctioning of the Cargo Floor system may also be due to other hydraulic
components that may or may not be connected to the same hydraulic circuit of the Cargo Floor system.
P)
Jamming of the floor profiles caused by the transport of abnormal loads and or the freezing of the floor or of
the product to the floor may result in damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle. Recommendation: in
the event of freezing, stop the system and try to find a hall (heated area) to allow the product to thaw.
Q)
Because the electrical power supply of the Cargo Floor system is often connected to the lighting circuit of the
vehicle, it is advisable to turn on the lighting throughout the operation of the system.
R)
Maintenance and repairs to the Cargo Floor system may be only performed by qualified personnel. Use only
original Cargo Floor components to ensure maximum reliability and long service life.
S)
Maximum cargo weight is subject to the limits set by law and applicable regulations. Even if the system can
transport heavier loads, the law determines the maximum limit. Excessively heavy cargo can cause damage to
the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
T)
Check that the correct type and quality of hydraulic oil is used. The use of incorrect oil type may cause
damage to the Cargo Floor system and the pump.
U)
Check the vehicle for correct voltage. Make sure there are no open electrical connections. A faulty electrical
system can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the vehicle.
V)
Check that the bulkhead, if present, is functioning smoothly and properly. A properly functioning bulkhead
ensures that the product is unloaded in a clean and quick fashion. A malfunctioning bulkhead may extend the
unloading time and cause damage to the vehicle.
W)
Use of the Cargo Floor system by unqualified personnel can cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and the
vehicle.
X)
Excessively high oil temperatures will cause damage to the Cargo Floor system and other hydraulic
components, such as the pump.
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.
