1. Safety instructions
1.1 General safety instructions
The owner must ensure that safety information has been read by
any persons entrusted with works on the product or by those per-
sons who supervise or instruct the before-mentioned group of per-
sons. In addition, the owner must also ensure that the relevant per-
sonnel are fully familiar with and have understood the contents of
the Instructions.
The manual must be kept at hand along with the product.
Note that the manual is part of the product and must accompany
the product if sold to a new owner.
The described products were manufactured according to the state
of the art. Risks may, however, arise and may result in harm to per-
sons or damage to material assets.
Any malfunctions which may affect safety must be remedied
immediately. In addition to the manual, general statutory regulations
and other regulations for accident prevention and environmental
protection must be observed and applied.
1.2 General behaviour when
handling the product
• The product may be used only in awareness of the potential dan-
gers, in proper technical condition, and according to the informa-
tion in this manual.
• Specialists must familiarize themselves with the functions and
operation of the product. The specified assembly and operating
steps and their sequences must be observed.
• Any unclear points regarding proper condition or correct assembly/
operation must be clarified. Operation is prohibited until issues
have been clarified.
• Unauthorized persons must be kept away.
• Precautionary operational measures and instructions for the res-
pective work must be observed.
• Responsibilities for different activities must be clearly defined and
observed. Uncertainty seriously endangers safety.
• Safety-related protective and emergency devices must not be
removed, modified or affected otherwise in their function and are
to be checked at regular intervals for completeness and function. If
protective and safety equipment has to be dismantled, it must be
reassembled immediately after finishing the work, and then
checked for correct function.
• Remedy occurring faults in the frame of responsibilities. Immedia-
tely inform your superior in the case of faults beyond your
competence.
• Wear personal protective equipment.
• Observe the relevant safety data sheets when handling lubricants.
1.3 Qualified technical personnel
Only qualified technical personnel may install, operate, maintain, and
repair the products described in the manual. Qualified technical per-
sonnel are persons who have been trained, assigned and instructed
by the operator of the installation. These persons are considered
capable of such tasks due to their education, training, and experience
with valid standards, conditions, accident prevention regulations in
effect, and installation conditions. They should be able to carry out
the required tasks and to recognize – and thus avoid – any dangers
that might otherwise occur. The definition of qualified electricians
and the prohibition against employing non-qualified personnel are
laid down in DIN VDE 0105 and IEC 364.
Relevant country-specific qualifications for technical personnel
apply for countries outside the scope of IEC 364.
The core principles of these country-specific qualification require-
ments for technical personnel cannot be below those of the two
standards mentioned above. The operator of the final product is res-
ponsible for assigning tasks and areas of responsibility and for the
responsibility and monitoring of the personnel. These areas must be
precisely specified by the operator.
The personnel must be trained and instructed if they do not pos-
sess the requisite knowledge.
Product training can also be performed by SKF in exchange for
costs incurred.
1.4 Electric shock hazard
Electrical connections for the described product may only be establi-
shed by qualified and trained personnel authorized to do so by the
operator, and in observance of the local conditions for connections
and local regulations (e.g. VDE/ IEC).
CAUTION
Electric shock
Working on products that have not been disconnected from
the power supply can cause serious injury to persons and
material damages.
Installation, maintenance, and repair work may only be
carried out by qualified experts on products that are not
connected to a power supply.
