aspects for optimal protection of personnel as well as safe and
trouble-free operation.
Disregarding this manual and safety regulations specified therein
may result in considerable danger.
2.1 Customer’s
responsibility
The system is used commercially. The owner of the machine is
thus subject to the legal obligations for health and safety at work.
As well as the operational safety instructions in this operator's
manual, the applicable safety, accident prevention and
environmental regulations for the application must also be
complied with. The following particularly apply:
The owner must inform himself about the applicable health and
safety conditions and also determine hazards arising from the
special operating conditions at the usage location of the
machine in a risk analysis. He must implement this in the form
of operating instructions for the operation of the machine.
During the complete usage time of the machine, the owner
must check whether the operating instructions created by him
correspond with the current status of the regulations and must
adapt these if necessary.
The owner must clearly regulate and specify the responsibilities
for installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning.
The owner must ensure that all employees involved with the
machine have read and understood the operating instructions.
He must also train the personnel and inform them about the
dangers at regular intervals.
The owner must provide the necessary protective equipment for
the personnel.
The owner is also responsible that the machine is always in proper
working condition. Therefore, strictly observe the following:
The owner must ensure that the maintenance intervals
specified in this manual are complied with.
The owner must arrange for all safety equipment to be checked
regularly for functionality and completeness.
The owner must ensure that antifreeze is filled for engines with
radiators.
Explosive and easily flammable substances must always be
kept away from the engine as the engine can become very hot
during operation.
