Inspection instructions
When containers are tipped, locks – particularly at the rear – are
subjected to greater wear than during simple transport; there is
also a considerably greater risk of accident due to component fail-
ure.
WARNING!
If locks are faulty, the higher forces exerted while tipping
pose a risk of the container falling off. Therefore, replace
faulty parts with genuine spare parts immediately.
ADVICE!
You or the operator must visually inspect all locks to
ensure they are complete, undamaged and in perfect
working order
every day before driving commences
.
At least every six weeks, have the following tests performed by a
qualified specialist:
Housing
Function test of internal lock parts (all operating positions
described in the instructions for use can be reached).
Check housing for abnormal deformation (minor deformation
due to operation, e.g. of the upper panel, is admissible).
Check guide bush for deformations that adversely affect func-
tion (the pivot can be clamped between the two cams of the
guide bush with the clamping nut without problem).
Check for visible cracks.
Safety catch
Check that the safety catch is present, is not damaged and
functions correctly (when tightened, the clamping nut is
secure so it cannot work loose).
