and complied with.
For machines without brakes a brake system
may need to be retrofitted if the permissible
weight limits are exceeded.
In case of changes concerning data mentioned

data must be attached.
In case of changes which concern the data in

be renewed.
Care and maintenance
Inappropriate care and maintenance put the
operational safety of the machine at risk. This
can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
¾
Conform to prescribed schedules for repetitive
tests or inspections.

components. The ground connection must
be as close as possible to the welding point.
¾
Before cleaning the machine with high-
pressure cleaner cover all openings, which
should stay clear of water, steam or cleaning
agents for reasons of safety or operation. Do
not aim the water jet directly at electrical or
electronic components, bearings or the fan.
When cleaning with high pressure cleaning
equipment or steam jet keep a distance of at
