1. Safety Instructions
The entire work area must be sealed off to prevent access from unauthorised persons during
assembly and/or other work on the Wedge K12.
During the entire transport and assembly all regulations and safety precautions for persons and
machines are to be adhered to without fail.
Operation of the Wedge K12 is only permitted when one is absolutely sure that no danger
exists.
2. Transport
The drive cabinet is to only be transported with a horizontal base plate in order to prevent the
hydraulic fluid from leaking out of the tank or shifting of the mounted parts.
The Wedge K12 can be transported easily on a truck or inside a standard container. While the
height of the Wedge is only 400mm it can be stacked separated by some wooden bars and under
notice of the sufficient safety requirements.
The housing for the hydraulic cylinders is separated from the Wedge K12 while the transport and
has to be reassembled before installation.
3. Foundation
The foundation can be completed first or together with the installation of product.
When providing the foundation for the WEDGE K12 underground housing it must be ascertained
that sufficient work space is available for its positioning as well as for the assembly of the
necessary conduit pipes and the correct connection of reinforcement to the underground housing.
When building the foundation adequate housing drainage must be provided. Ensure that the
ground features a good water absorption. Depending on the local environmental and soil
conditions the drainage can be done by a electrical pump in a pump sump.
When providing the foundation for the underground housing and the drive cabinet (control box) it
is especially important that the built-in conduit pipe for the electrical and hydraulic lines is free from
contamination of any kind.
Before assembly begins the foundation dimensions must be checked.
The WEDGE K12 was designed according to Regulation Class SLW 60 (DIN
1072) for a wheel load of 100 kN (wheel load 10 tons or axle load 20 tons) or
an alternative area load per unit of 33,3 kN/m².

4. Assembly
In order to complete the assembly the following tools and devices are needed:
- a mobile lifting device and harness
- key for hexagon socket M6(A/F 5)M8(A/F 6), M10(A/F 8), M12(A/F 10)
- open-jawed and ring spanner M5(A/F 8), M8(A/F 13), M10(A/F 17), M12(A/F 19),
M20(A/F 30)
- water level
- steel plates for load levelling

4.2. Assembly Procedure
(1) Mount the separate control cabinet in the specified location.
(2) Assemble the housing(4) for the hydraulic cylinders to the underground housing(1). The
required screws and washers are attached to (1). Remove the cover plate.
(3) Connect the top bearings(6) of the hydraulic cylinders(5) to the blocking part(2) of the wedge
(4) Lift the housing (1) into the foundation ( use all 4 eyebolts).
(5) Align the housing (1) horizontally and vertically using underlain steel plates.
Attention!
The drainage water must be able to completely flow off from the housing (1).
(6) If a roadway gradient is present a drainage channel is to be placed over the entire barrier
length at the highest place. Thus the entrance of most surface water into the housing is
prevented.
(7) Connect the cable feeder connection (3) and the drainage pipe connection (4) with the
appropriate conduit pipes. The connections are to be professionally sealed. These must
continue to remain contamination-free even in the case that it must be externally filled with
concrete.
(8) Permeate the electrical and hydraulic lines in the specified conduit pipes.
(9) Bolt all hydraulic lines and the connections of the hydraulic unit in the control box with the
two-way adapter of the hydraulic cylinders (hydraulic cylinder) (5) according to the mark (.
(10) Attach the current entry electrical lines (3 phase alternating current 230 / 400 V, 50 Hz) and
the control in the terminal box and the terminal box in the control box.
Attention!
The electrical connection should only be made by an Electrician according to the
enclosed connection diagram and function description.
(11) After connection of all cables and hoses finish the concrete work.
(12) Conduct a functions test of the Wedge K12 and visually inspect its condition.
