2 Safety
2.1 General
Safety measures are a combination of measures taken by the manufacturer when
designing and building the machine and measures that have to be taken by the user.
The machine has been designed to function for its intended purpose. It has been
designed and manufactured in such a way that configuration and maintenance can
take place with the least possible risks to the operator, provided such work is carried
out according to the instructions laid down in the User’s Manual.
The objective of the safety measures is to eliminate all accident hazards during the
operational life of the machine which also includes the assembly and dismantling of the
machine, including any hazards arising as a consequence of such abnormal
circumstances as can be anticipated.
Accessories and spare parts that have not been approved by Range Servant can lead
to personal injuries and/or equipment damage and affect the operational reliability of
the machine. For the sake of safety you should therefore exclusively use accessories
and original Range Servant spare parts recommended by Range Servant.
Such accessories and spare parts are specially intended for the machine and are
approved by us with regard to safety.
All Range Servant retailers keep accessories and spare parts at your disposal along
with competent advice. They also have the technical qualifications necessary for
installing your machine and are informed about what technical changes are authorised.
Damage caused by the use of accessories and spare parts not having been approved
by Range Servant and damage due to unauthorised technical modifications are not
covered by the warranty obligation.
2.2 Conformity with mandatory requirements
The Range Servant ball management machines fulfil the personal safety requirements
of the EU Machine Directive 89/392/EEC as amended by Directives 91/368/EEC,
93/44/EEC and 93/68/EEC, with a special reference to Annex I of the Directive
concerning essential health and safety requirements in connection with the design and
manufacture of machines, as amended by Directive 91/368/EEC. Furthermore the
harmonised standards 292-1, 292-2 and 292-2A (or parts thereof) have been applied.
The electrical equipment fulfils the safety provisions laid down in the EU low voltage
directive 73/23/EEC, as amended by directive 93/68/EEC.
2.3 Remaining risks
There are warning signs serving as a reminder and warning to the user of any
remaining risks, i.e. risks that we have not been able to eliminate, or sufficiently
minimise, in our design and against which technical safety measures do not provide
complete, or sufficient, protection. The warning signs shall be written in the local
language and, on request, in the language understood by the respective operator. The
signs are yellow with black characters. They are big enough to be readable from a
distance of three meters.
