S
If the following damage or malfunctions are discovered on the machine, operation of the machine must be
stopped immediately.
Defects, damage or cracks on the load-bearing parts, bearings, hydraulic components or safety equip-
ment
Damage to electrical cables
Unusual noises
Unusually fast or slow movements on the machine
Errors in the operation or control of the machine

Procedures for switching the machine on and off as well as inspection of the control indicators must be carried
out as described in the operating manual.
Before switching on or starting up the machine, it must be ensured that no one will be endangered by the start-
ing up of the machine.
The correct functioning of the control must be checked before the start of work. Before startup, all tools and as-
sembly aids must be stored safely to prevent accidents.
The maintenance, configuration and inspection intervals specified in the operating manual must be complied
with. The specified intervals are maximum deadlines and may not be exceeded. Such work as well as the re-
placement of components may only be performed by qualified personnel.
During transport of the Plug & Play Separator System, measures must be taken to ensure sufficient securing of
the transport area.
The required switch-on and switch-off procedures according to the operating manual and the instructions for
maintenance work must be observed during all work involving the operation, production adaptation, conversion
or configuration of the system and its safety-related features as well as all work involving inspection, mainte-
nance and repair.
The operating personnel must be informed of special work, repair work or conversion work in a timely fashion
prior to starting the work. A supervisor must always be appointed during the performance of such work.
The work area must be blocked off and secured by a wide margin during such work, if necessary. Unauthorized
persons must be prevented from entering.
As a rule, maintenance and cleaning work as well as repairs of malfunctions may take place only with the drive
switched off and the motor at rest (switch off and lock the main switch or disconnect the supply of electricity).
Watch out for the unexpected starting of the system.
It must be noted that a pressed EMERGENCY OFF button does not provide any protection against unauthorized
starting of the machine.
During disassembly and assembly, large individual parts and entire assemblies must be carefully fastened and
secured to lifting equipment. Only suitable lifting equipment and load handling devices with sufficient carrying
capacity and no technical operating defects may be used. Standing or working under suspended loads is not
permitted. Grips, steps, railings, landings, platforms and ladders must be cleaned of oil, dirt, snow and ice be-
fore all activity on the system.
Securing of personnel with suitable supporting elements is required during all maintenance work on an elevated
system.
During assembly work above head height, climbing aids and work platforms intended for such work or specially
adapted for purposes of safety must be used. Never use system components as climbing aids. The system and,
in particular, connections and bolt connections must be cleaned of oil, grease or care agents prior to the start of
maintenance or repair work. No aggressive cleaning agents may be used. Only fiber-free cleaning cloths may
be used.
Before cleaning the system with water, steam, high-pressure cleaners or other cleaning aids, cover / tape over
all openings into which no water, steam or cleaning agents may enter for safety and/or functional reasons. Elec-
tric motors and electronic switch cabinets are at particular risk. After cleaning, the applied covers / tape must be
completely removed again.
Wear appropriate protective gear to protect against flying particles while cleaning with compressed air or steam
jets.
