Troubleshooting

Cover is difficult to remove or replace.

Ensure the correct SLK lifting keys are used. Check the recess and frame for debris or obstructions and clean thoroughly. Verify the paving infill is not protruding.

Water pooling around the manhole cover.

Confirm that the surrounding area has adequate drainage. Ensure the manhole cover itself is seated correctly and not trapping water.

Signs of corrosion on the steel cover.

Clean the affected area. For minor surface rust, an abrasive pad may be used, followed by a galvanizing repair paint or suitable metal primer and paint.

Paving infill has settled or become uneven.

The paving blocks/slabs may need to be reset. Carefully remove the cover, adjust the sub-base beneath the paving, and re-instate the infill to be level with the frame.
