On the word "fondo"...
Since I don´t know whether the vehicle in questions is being hoisted down a well, down a mine shaft or the sunk into the Mediterranean Ocean, I don´t know whether "bottom" is the correct word to use here. It may be that the vehicle is being rolled into a barn, a warehouse or my Tío Zoquete´s garage, so I include an alternative for "fondo". And kimberlee, if you track the writer down, give him or her a couple of whacks from me too. Translation:
1)During the first few minutes, ensure that the vehicle has reached the bottom (endpoint) and that the Hazadous Energy Blocker is set/is in position</B>.

"pulsado" or "presionado" or "accionado"
In general terms "acuñado" would mean "coined" but it seems that the text writer has not got a clue of Spanish language, and by the context given it looks as if referring to pressing a button or any sort of key mechanism. It sounds as weird as if they had written it with an automatic translator, I'm afraid then you'd be retranslating a terrible translation, so I guess the final outcome is hard to predict. Hope I helped you and best of lucks!

Sorry, no offence, I agree with Anabela Echevarria. I am willing to bet that this a typical case where some Anglophone (maybe with some knowledge of Spanish) is trying to make sense out of Spanish gibberish generated by a computer translation software.
If you send me the original English wording I can help you.

What about wedging? Does it have anything to do with this folks?
Entregue la operación de acuñamiento del camión a personal de Operaciones Grúa.
In any case, "chocked" seems like a good choice that may fit my context:)
