Instructions for use moving floor
5
Some of the pictograms listed below can be found on the trailer and/or on the following pages of this user manu-
al. The following is an overview of the warnings and safety measures applicable to your trailer.
This pictogram appears in various places in this manual and indicates measures which
should be observed in order to guarantee safety.
This manual should therefore be studied carefully prior to attempting to use the trailer. If
particular chapters or paragraphs are unclear, please do not hesitate to contact STAS nv! You
should also ensure that everyone who is authorised by you to use the trailer, is familiar with
and understands these instructions.
The moving floor system is a machine as described in the machinery directive. The trailers
are therefore designed to ensure that they comply with the fundamental health and safety
requirements as laid down in the 2006/42/EEC machinery directive.
The moving floor system may only be used when the trailer is coupled to the tractor.
This CE marking confirms the conformity with the machinery directive.
This pictogram indicates areas which could present a hazard for fingers and/or other parts of
the body. The hazardous areas themselves are indicated by hatched lines.
This pictogram indicates areas where fingers and/or other parts of the body are at risk of
being cut. The hazardous areas themselves are indicated by hatched lines.
This pictogram indicates the boundary of an area which is not accessible during normal
operation.
This pictogram indicates the outer most moving part of the trailer and is also used to indicate
the hazardous areas where trapping of hands and/or other parts of the body could occur.
This pictogram indicates the presence of electrical voltage. The trailer receives 24V DC from
the towing vehicle.
Damaged electrical conductors should be replaced or repaired immediately as they could
cause short-circuiting, physical injuries or fire.
The components of the electrical system have been carefully balanced. The electrical system
for your trailer therefore conforms to the EMC directive.
This pictogram can be found near electrical connections. It serves to remind the operator
that it is not allowed to disconnect the electrical connections by pulling the cable.
This pictogram can be found near the trailer doors. It serves to remind the operator to ensure
there is no one in the immediate vicinity when the doors are opened or closed. In this way,
any trapping hazards can be avoided.
This pictogram indicates that wearing gloves is strongly recommended.

B. SAFETY REGULATIONS
This pictogram indicates that wearing safety goggles is strongly recommended.
This pictogram indicates that wearing safety boots is strongly recommended.
This pictogram indicates that wearing a safety helmet is strongly recommended.
This pictogram indicates that the person on the catwalk should protect himself by wearing a
safety harness.
This pictogram indicates the danger of falling objects when opening the roof nets or roof
sheet.
This pictogram indicates the date on which the trailer was painted. This date is important
as the trailer should not be cleaned with a high-pressure hose until 4 weeks after it was first
painted.
During cleaning:
• the maximum water temperature should be no more than 65°C,
• only neutral cleaning substances should be used.
This pictogram indicates a slippery surface as a result of spilt oil.
The moving floor system, as well as the hydraulically operated top swinging door and the roof
net (if fitted to the trailer) are hydraulically operated by means of oil pressure. When coupling
or uncoupling these systems, oil may be spilt. Spilt oil should be removed immediately as it is
harmful to the environment and can cause a slipping hazard.
The stability of the trailer, during driving as well as unloading, is determined to a large degree
by the way in which the trailer is loaded. Ensure the load is evenly distributed at all times.
As manufacturers of trailers, we would like to improve lorry safety through optimum distributi-
on of the brake force between the tractor and the trailer.
We therefore recommend a BRAKE SYNCHRONISATION is carried out between the first 2000
and 10000 km each time the tractor is changed in order to achieve the best possible brake
force distribution and pattern of wear. Please contact the truck manufacturer for a brake
synchronisation.
