Safety
4.1
Basic Safety Instructions
Work and assembly benches can be dangerous if used improperly. Therefore, observe the safety instructions
listed in this chapter and the accident prevention regulations of your employer's liability insurance association!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions resulting from failure to
observe these operating instructions.
4.2
Application Area and Intended Use
The foot pedal operated, hydraulically adjustable work and assembly benches of the Ergoplan series conform to
the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and are therefore suitable as technical equipment for both industrial and
commercial applications as well as for training purposes in educational institutions.
Improper use can lead to danger to persons and to a defect or damage to the work and as-
sembly bench.
The work and assembly bench is primarily intended for operation in covered indoor areas, but it can also be
used outdoors for loading and unloading purposes (e.g. from the service vehicle to the place of use).
Work on the work and assembly bench may only be performed at sufficiently illuminated workplaces.
The work and assembly bench is intended for processing, equipping, assembling and transporting assem-
blies, workpieces and similar components as well as for lifting, lowering and moving loads.
The work and assembly bench may only be used on horizontal floors for lifting loads.
The work and assembly bench may only be moved when the load is lowered.
The work and assembly bench must be positioned freely in the room when lifting and lowering. This means
that no shearing or crushing edges may be caused by the movement of the work and assembly bench.
The maximum load (see
“
Techn
ical Specifications”
) with load center in the middle of the work and as-
sembly bench must not be exceeded. If the work and assembly bench is loaded unevenly, outside the load
center of gravity, the load capacity is of the maximum permitted load capacity (see
The Ergoplan is not intended for moving and transporting persons.
The Ergoplan must not be operated in potentially explosive working areas. Any other use is considered im-
proper and prohibited.
4.3
Improper Use
Improper use is when the work and assembly bench is used for purposes other than those prescribed in this
operating manual and in section
4.2, for example
Use and application for private or non-commercial purposes,
Use in disregard of the regulations in the operating manual,
use after unauthorized conversions or modifications,
Exceeding the maximum permissible load (see
“
Techni
cal Specifications”
)
Transporting or conveying persons with the work and assembly bench
Entering the work and assembly bench
In case of improper use of the work and assembly bench, any warranty, liability and other claims for damages of
the operator against the manufacturer are excluded!
