* The electrical equipment of the machine must be inspected at regular intervals. Any faults such
as loose connections and/or scorched cables must be cleared immediately.
* In the event of a defect on the electrical equipment, further operation of them machine is prohibited.
That is valid until authorised expert staff confirms that all faults have been successfully eliminated.
* Extinguish fire in the electric control with a CO2 extinguisher.
* Location and operation of fire extinguishers must be made public. The possible measures of fire
detection and fire fighting must be observed.
* The switch cabinet must always be kept closed. Access is only allowed for authorised staff.
* Plugged connections have to be loosened and/or plugged in when the current has been switched
off.
* When connecting equipment to the mains, the local EVU-regulations must be observed.
* The adjustment of the motor protection switch must not be changed.
* Dust deposits may lead to dangerous explosions in connection with electric components. Therefore
deposits must be removed at regular intervals.
* Due to extreme temperature differences (especially in winter), condensation can never completely
be ruled out in the console enclosures and switch boxes. In the event of a fault, the mains plug
must be pulled and the console housing and control cabinet must be inspected by a qualified
professional and, if present, the condensation must be removed.
3.2.5 Hazards through hydraulic energy
* Only staff with specialised know-how and experience may work on the hydraulic equipment.
* The hydraulic equipment must be inspected at regular intervals. Any faults such as chafe marks
on the hoses or leakages at the screwed connections must be corrected immediately.
* System sections and pressure pipes that can be opened must be depressurised prior to the start of
repair (see chapter 3.2.6). Liquids that escape under high pressure can penetrate the skin and may
cause severe injuries.
3.2.6 Switching the machine pressure-free
* The machine must be set up on a firm, level surface.
* Disconnect the PACK-BIN from the power supply and secure against switching on.
* For machines with BIN-LIFT-TIP DEVICE (BLT), both hydraulic cylinders of the BLT must be
fully moved in. This means, the BLT must be in home position. In home position, the container can
be slid in.
3.2.7 Maintenance and repair
* The operating instructions are no instructions in order to carry out extensive servicing. These
works must be carried out by recognised specialised staff.
* The above mentioned maintenance and service must be carried out within the prescribed time
limit (see chapter 11 “Maintenance and care”).
* Maintenance and repair may be carried out only be qualified staff with the corresponding know
how. On this occasion the machine must be disconnected from the mains and be secured against
