Section 2 – Safety Information
Warning!
Risk of injury when searching for and rectifying faults.
Only appropriately trained and authorized persons are allowed to search for and rectify faults. See
the Section 2.4, “Selection and qualifications of personnel”.
Warning!
The device has been built for “single-person operation” (raising and lowering). Risk of injury caused
by other people using the device.
Ensure that during operation, only one person is using the device.
Exception: As a general rule, two people are required to set up and dismantle the conveyor belt.
Warning!
Risk of crushing or shearing by the linkage of the Flex-Lifter when raising and lowering.
Keep your hands and limbs away from the hazardous area when raising and lowering the conveyor
belt.
Caution!
Danger of electrostatic charging.
If you install the Flex-Lifter on an electrically non-conductive base, possible electrostatic charges
cannot flow. In this case, earth the Flex-Lifter.
Warning!
If the conveyor belt is too heavily loaded on the Flex-Lifter, the Flex-Lifter can buckle or break. Note
the maximum permissible lifting capacity, depending on the lifting height, see Section 3.2.2.
If in doubt, you must relieve the belt by removing the conveying material and, if necessary, reducing
the belt tension.
Limit the torque of the ratchet or the power wrench whilst raising the Flex-Lifter.
Ensure that the safety distance from the head and end rollers of the conveyor belt is at least 6m.
