BLUE GENIUS™ TOUCH CONTROL MASTER CONTROL PANELS—OWNER’S MANUAL
5ISSUE DATE: OCTOBER 17, 2016 REV.1 (PART # 038-918E)
2.4 OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
1. The owner should recognize the inherent danger of the
interface between the dock and the freight carrier. The owner
should, therefore, train and instruct operators in the safe use
of the dock equipment and accessories in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. The owner should thoroughly familiarize themselves with
the following procedures and specifications, and request
immediate replacement of all manufacturer-supplied
documents that are missing, damaged, or otherwise illegible.
Below is a list of Best Practices for dock equipment usage and
maintenance.
• Commissioning instructions
• Operating instructions
• Daily maintenance procedures checklist
• Inspections procedures
• Recommended spare parts lists
Upon receipt of any newly purchased dock equipment,
the owner shall verify the presence of owner’s manuals,
operating placards, and any other documentation necessary
for training dock personnel how to use the equipment safely
and effectively.
3. All Blue Giant dock equipment should undergo regularly
scheduled planned maintenance. Maintenance requirements
will vary according to usage frequency and application,
so the owner shall consult with their authorized Blue Giant
distributor for schedule recommendation. Written records of
the performance of these procedures should be kept as per
warranty requirements.
4. Dock equipment that is structurally damaged, experiencing
performance irregularities, or has been potentially
compromised shall be removed from service until a trained
and authorized manufacturer’s representative can conduct an
inspection and perform any necessary repairs.
5. As with any piece of machinery, dock equipment requires
routine maintenance, lubrication, and adjustments.
Recommended procedures are itemized in the Planned
Maintenance Program (PMP) checklist included in installation
and technical manuals. It is recommended that for anything
other than the basic maintenance procedures outlined in this
manual, you contact your local Blue Giant representative.
6. The owner shall ensure that all name plates and safety labels
are in place and legible, and that the appropriate manuals
are provided to authorized users. Replacement name plates,
safety labels, and manuals are available through the Blue
Giant Aftermarket Department. See “Decal Identification and
Location” section in this manual for more information.
7. The owner or a trained and authorized representative shall
verify that all freight carrier brakes have been applied and a
vehicle restraint and/or wheel chocks properly engaged before
cross-docking procedures begin. For safety reasons trailers
must be held securely in place to avoid accidental separation
from the loading dock.
8. Unless specifically agreed to in writing by Blue Giant Equipment
Corporation at the time of order (and prior to manufacture), all
Blue Giant Dock equipment is sold as a complete offering and
must not be altered or added to in any manner (which includes
configuration and function) without written permission from
an authorized manufacturer’s representative. These changes
shall also satisfy all safety recommendations of the original
equipment manufacturer for the particular application of the
dock equipment.
9. If, at the request of the owner, Blue Giant does not supply
all or some of the dock equipment power unit and/or control
panel components, the owner shall assume responsibility for
any and all operational and safety issues associated with the
resulting configuration.
