Safety
These operating instructions contain basic require-
ments to be observed during the installation, opera-tion
and maintenance of the machine. Therefore, the
instructions must be read by the mechanical fitter and
by the technical personnel/operator responsible for the
machine prior to assembly and commissioning, and
kept available at the operating site of the machine/plant
at all times.
Compliance is required not only with the general safety
instructions given in this section but also with the
detailed instructions, e.g. for private usage, given
under the other main headings in these operating
instructions.
2.1
Labeling of Advice in the Operating Instructions
In these operating instructions safety advice whose
non-observance could lead to danger for life or limb is
labeled with the following general hazard symbol:
safety symbol acc. to ISO 3864 - B.3.1
Warnings regarding electric power are labeled with:
safety symbol acc. to ISO 3864 - B.3.6
Safety instructions whose non-observance could
jeopardize the machine and its functions are labeled
by the word
CAUTION
Always comply with instructions mounted directly on
the machine, e.g.
- rotational direction arrow
- fluid connection indicators
and ensure that the information remains legible.
2.2
Personnel Qualifications and Training
Personnel charged with operation, maintenance,
inspection and assembly must be in possession
of the appropriate qualifications for the tasks.
The company operating the machine must define
exact areas of responsibility, accountabilities and
personnel supervision schemes. Personnel lacking
the required skills and knowledge must receive
training and instruction. If necessary, the opera-ting
company may commission the manufacturer/ supplier
to conduct these training courses. Further-more, the
operating company must ensure that the personnel
fully understand the contents of the operating
instructions.
2.3
Dangers Resulting from Failure to Observe Safety
Instructions
Failure to comply with the safety instructions may lead
to hazards to life and limb as well as dangers for the
environment and the machine. Non-obser-vance of
safety instructions can invalidate the right of claim to
damages.
The following are just some
examples
of possible
dangers resulting from failure to comply with the
safety instructions:
- Failure of important machine/plant functions
- Failure of prescribed methods of service and
maintenance
- Danger to life and limb due to electrical, mechanical
and chemical influences
- Danger to the environment due to the leakage
of hazardous substances
2.4
Safety-conscious Working
Always comply with the safety instructions listed in
this document, the existing national accident
prevention regulations and any company-internal
work, operating and safety rules.
