Special hazards
The following section lists residual risks determined on the basis of a risk assessment.
Follow the safety instructions listed here and the warnings in other sections of this installation manual in order to reduce health
hazards and avoid dangerous situations.
WARNING!
Risk of death due to suspended loads!
When lifting loads, there is a risk of death due to parts falling or swinging out of control.
Therefore:
- Never walk under suspended loads.
- Only move loads under supervision.
- Follow the specifications for the attachment points provided
- Do not lash to protruding machine parts or eyelets on attached components. Be sure the lashing
elements are firmly seated.
- Use only authorized lifting accessories and lashing elements with sufficient load capacity
- Do not use torn or worn ropes or straps
- Do not attach ropes or straps at sharp corners and edges, and do not knot or twist them
- Set loads down when leaving the workplace
WARNING!
Danger of injury from moving components!
Incautious handling of the festoon system can lead to severe injury or damage to the festoon system.
Therefore:
- Be sure that the festoon system does not start by itself.
- While it is moving, do not reach into moving parts, particularly the interface between the buffer and
buffer plate.
- Block off the dangerous area under the system.
DANGER!
Danger of injury due to electrocution!
Danger of severe injury or death due to electric current.
Therefore:
- Before working on the cable-festoon system, the system must be disconnected from power using
the main switch, and secured against unauthorized, unintentional, and/or erroneous activation. In
special cases where there is no main switch, the power disconnection must be carried out
according to the specifications of the system manufacturer. Check that parts disconnected from
power are voltage free, then ground and short-circuit them. Insulate adjacent live parts!
- Before each commissioning, an insulation test must be carried out in accordance with the local
technical standards, guidelines, and law.
