operation and maintenance must be precisely defined!
•
Refrain from any operation that adversely affects the safety of the material lift!
•
The material lift may only be operated in a technically good order, while keeping safety
and potential dangers in mind. In case of any malfunctions, the material lift must be shut
down immediately!
•
If the operator identifies any safety-relevant changes in the material-installation lift, he
has a duty to shut down the material-installation lift immediately and report this to the
competent person!
•
For the security of the operator, all arising maintenance, cleaning and repair work may
only be carried out without the lift being loaded and appropriately secured!
•
Prior to the commencement of all cleaning, servicing and repair works, the material lift
must be secured against rolling away unexpectedly or the rails extending. For this
purpose, the following procedure must be followed:
•
Push down the locking brake at the castors, let the rail safety mechanism snap in
•
Set up and place appropriate warning signs, cordon off or secure the area

Distance to live overhead lines of at least 5 m (up to 200kV), at higher voltage, the
distance must be correspondingly larger. While doing so, follow the respective official
regulations.
•
The load centre must never be a distance of more than 330 mm from the back of the
