OPERATION
2.1
GENERAL
The Combilok should only be used for locking vehicles that are loaded and discharged from the rear side on a
loading/discharging dock.
No persons are allowed in the travel range of the Combilok.
The Combilok may only be operated by personnel appointed by the company management.
The Combilok prevents vehicles from undesired movement forward. It is possible (in the event of a small load and/or
sufficient drive torque from the vehicle) to drive over the wheel block. Under normal circumstances though, the driver
will experience sufficient resistance to refrain from pulling away.
Under normal usage conditions the Combilok offers sufficient protection against (premature) moving off or
gradual rolling away of vehicles.
The device has a preventative function against theft attempts. However, it is not intended as protection against theft.
In the event of a malfunction, or when the activities have been completed, the main switch must be put into the
0-position. It is only possible to render the Combilok voltage-free by switching off the main switch.
2.2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To gain a better understanding of the locking system see para 1.8. Read the general instructions in para 2.1. first.
Vehicles should be docked (with open rear doors) on the rear side. In order to avoid wearing out the fender rubbers on
the vehicles and/or the dock, some space can be left between the vehicle and the leveller. It is advisable to use
moveable bumpers on the dock to minimize wear of the bumpers. According to normal procedure, the parking brake
of the truck is engaged.
The free space for the rear wheels must be 350 mm in height and 250 mm in length. This space is needed for
pushing the block in. If this clearance is not provided for, the extendable block of the lateral movement will
jam. An operating time control facility then ensures that the Combilok takes up the alarm position.
Operation of the Combilok takes place with the buttons
on the control panel inside the building (see FIG. 2A).
The mains voltage is passed to the system when the main
switch is turned to position "1". The control voltage is
switched on by pressing button 4 'control voltage in'
once.
