s)
The machine and dust collector used in the black area may only operate in the white area after complete
cleaning, including the motor housing. For engines with bypass cooling the cooling air ducts have to be
clean.
t)
When maintenance or repair procedures are carried out, all the contaminated elements that cannot be
properly cleaned, must be destroyed.
u)
These elements must be disposed of in sealed bags according to the applicable regulations and in
accordance with the local laws governing the disposal of such material. This procedure must also be
followed when the filter has to be disposed.
3.10 Maintenance safety
a)
Pull out the main plug and place it in sight, before starting inspections and repairing on the machine. Take
the key of the dead man switch out of the machine.
b)
Wait for standstill of all drives before any inspections, adjustments and/or maintenance work is started.
c)
Block machine in stable position before doing any maintenance work.
d)
Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very
high repair costs
and long
standstill periods of the machine.
Regular
maintenance therefore is imperative.
e)
Operational safety and service life of the machine depends, among other things, on proper maintenance.
f)
Prevent premature wear by keeping the machine as dust free as possible. Clean the machine for this
reason regularly with a dust collector and non-aggressive materials. Never use a high pressure water
cleaner to clean the machine.
g)
Do not use any
aggressive
cleaning materials!
h)
Use lint-free
cleaning cloths
!
i)
It is advisable to stock all spare parts or wear parts that cannot be supplied quickly. As a rule, production
standstill periods are more expensive than the cost for the corresponding spare part.
j)
To allow the user to carry out maintenance operations, the machine must be disassembled, cleaned and
inspected as far as reasonably possible, without causing hazards for the maintenance staff or other
people.
k)
The suitable precautions include decontamination before disassembling the machine, adequate filtered
ventilation of the exhaust air from the room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the maintenance area
and suitable personal protection equipment.
3.11 Transport safety
a)
Be aware of your surroundings and machine operating level. Do not side hill, do not run on steep incline,
this could cause machine to tip over.
b)
The net weight of the BG-250 is 146 kg. Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine, use the lifting
eye of the machine.
c)
Before every use check the lifting eye and welds for:
deformation, damages, cracks, corrosion and wear.
d)
Hold on to the steering handle until the machine is of the ground.
e)
When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be
tensioned at this speed; they must not be slack when the machine is lifted from the ground.
f)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
g)
Never stand directly below the machine.
h)
When transporting the machine do so in such a manner that damage due to the effects of the use of force
or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided.
i)
The lifting eye can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.
j)
Always drive backwards when driving up to a ramp or grade, and forwards when driving of the ramp.
m)
Chock wheels for transport and always put the machine on the machine support which is made especially
for this reason.
n)
Do not let the machine rest on the diamond disc or coupling when it is not in use, this will cause
deformation to the flexible coupling.
k)
Don’t leave the machine unsecured on jobsites.
l)
Park the machine always on a flat horizontal and levelled surface.
m)
Make sure the electrical cable and dust hose are disconnected before transport.
n)
Store the cleaned and dry machine in a humid free room. Protect the electrical motor from moisture, heat
dust and shocks.
o)
Never use the machine for lifting persons or items.
