Tail gate safeguard

If any short-time maintenance or assembly work is carried out
with the tail gate open, the tail gate must be hydraulically
secured against lowering:
maintenance platform). When the valve is shut off, the actuating
lever is at right angles to the flow direction (Figure 2).
In case of longer maintenance or assembly work with the tail
gate open, the tail gate must (in addition to the hydraulic
safeguard) be mechanically secured against lowering - using
suitable means.
After completion of any maintenance and/or assembly work
reset the valve to its initial position (along flow direction, Figure
