๐ Once faulty load bars are removed, contact your local Tru-Test retailer. They will organise shipment to an authorised service agent. |
To remove load bars from a Dairy WOW 4000:
Remove the 12 bolts on the top of the platform (six at each end).
Remove the square washers beneath (observe that these are only used where there is no raised grip pattern on the rubber mat).
Peel back and lift off the rubber mat.
Remove the 4 bolts (shown in green) securing the platform to the load bars. Then remove the 8 bolts (shown in blue) securing the 2 deck plates to the platform.โ
โ
Lift the 2 deck plates out from the centre of the platform and put to the side.
Lift the platform off the load bars using machinery (e.g. a tractor with forks or a hi-ab or winch):
๐ It is recommended to use a winch with a SWL (safe-working-load) of 250 kg (~551 lb) or greater. โ The steel support bar holding the winch should be a minimum of 50 mm (~2") x 3 mm (~โ ") WT square hollow bar (can be larger and thicker). It can be spanned over 1 metre of maximum span and rest on the frame rails. |  |
๐ก It is safer to put through bolts on either side of the square bar so that it can never slide off the railings (not shown here). | 
|
๐ Do not place limbs under the suspended platform ever! It could slip and crush you! You can use a flat crowbar to lever and slide out the platform without putting your arms or hands underneath.
๐ The 2 bolts used on each of the 4 foot brackets to fasten the platform to the concrete base can remain in place, and the platform can be lifted free of them.
6. Undo the four bolts securing the load bar to the load bar casing:
7. Lift the load bar assembly (and its cable) up free of its casing.
๐ The 4 bolts used on each of the 2 casings to fasten the platform to the concrete base can remain in place, and the load bar assembly can be lifted free of them.
