8.11 Variofloor segment floor
WARNING
Risk of accident from unsecured load!
Improper securing of the load on the Vari-
ofloor segment floor can result in personal
injury and material damage.
► Secure the load between the segment
floors with locking beams.
► Additionally secure non positive lock-
ing cargo towards the rear and sides
using tension straps.
► Lash the load on the segment floor on
the external frame of the trailer.
► Do not lash down the load to the
chassis rails.
WARNING
Risk of accident caused by the move-
ment of a segment floor!
When lifting or lowering a segment floor
using a forklift, objects on or underneath
the segment floor can cause severe per-
sonal injury and material damage.
► Secure the load between the segment
floors with locking beams.
► Do not lift or lower the segment floor if
there are people or objects on or be-
low the segment floor.
WARNING
Risk of accident from a front wall that
is not braced!
A front wall that is not braced or braced
too steeply can result in personal injury
and material damage.
► Before departure, lash the fixed ten-
sion straps of the front wall from the
corner posts of the top front wall to
the centre posts below.
► Release the fixed tension straps on
the front wall only for loading and un-
loading.
WARNING
Risk of accident from actuating the
lock with an unsecured segment floor!
Folding out the internal lock of the seg-
ment floor without securing it, e.g. with a
forklift truck, can cause the segment floor
to fall down and result in personal injury
and material damage.
► Before unlocking the internal lock, se-
cure the segment floor with a forklift.
NOTE
Material damage due to improper fold-
ing out of the internal lock of the seg-
ment floor!
Forced folding out of the internal lock of
the segment floor can result in material
damage.
► Avoid folding out the internal lock of
the segment floor by force or with the
help of tools (e.g. lever, hammer).
► Only fold out the internal lock of the
segment floor when pressure on the
rocker bolt is relieved.
► Only fold out the internal lock of the
segment floor if a forklift lifts the seg-
ment floor horizontally so that the
rocker bolt is relieved of pressure and
does not lie on the post.
NOTE
Material damage caused by lowering a
segment floor with the internal lock fol-
ded out!
Lowering a segment floor to a new posi-
tion with the internal lock folded out can
result in material damage. The rocker
bolts will not engage in the posts.
► Do not lower the segment floor to the
new position if the internal lock of the
segment floor is still folded out.
► Before lowering a segment floor to a
new position, ensure that the signal
flag is retracted and the rocker bolt
engages in the post.
