6.1 Safety instructions
WARNING
•
Observe the statutory accident prevention regulations.
•
Before the vehicle inspection, remove any foreign particles stuck in the tyre tread.
•
Drive the vehicle on/off/over the test bench with the vehicle slowly (walking
speed) and centrally.
•
The driver must hold an appropriate driving licence for the vehicle to be tested
and must not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication that impairs
driving ability.
•
Perform regular visual inspections for damage in lines, hoses, actuators and sen-
sors. If there are any defects or damage, the test bench must not be operated.
•
Replace hydraulic hoses which are installed depending on the option (e.g. roller
set lift) according to the specifications of DIN 20066 (or according to the locally
applicable regulations, directives and standards) and carry out an assessment of
the functional capability at regular intervals.
•
The system must only be operated within its performance limits.
•
The system must only be operated by instructed staff (qualified persons).
•
The system and its work area must be kept clean. Adequate lighting of the work
area must be provided.
•
When the system is not being used, it must be switched off and the main switch
must be secured with a padlock to prevent it from being switched back on.
•
In emergency situations, switch off the system with the emergency stop main
switch or emergency stop pushbutton.
•
No persons may be present in the danger zone of the system during driving and
vehicle testing. Rotating or moving parts (e.g. test bench rollers) are dangerous.
•
When vehicle engines are running in enclosed spaces, there is a risk of poisoning.
The operator must ensure that there is sufficient air exchange.
•
Unnecessary stress to the vehicle and test bench must be avoided.
•
Once the vehicle is positioned in the roller set with the driven axle, the roller set
must only be exited with the roller drive running. To protect the drive motors, an
automatic test roller engagement takes place in the event of impermissible accel-
eration of the axle. In conjunction with an exit aid (electromechanical motor brake
or DC brake), it is also possible to drive out of the test bench when the test rollers
are stationary.
•
Never externally start a vehicle with the system or apply regenerative braking. This
may cause damage to the test bench.
•
Vehicle doors shall be closed during the test. If other persons outside the vehicle
