6 Welding
When carrying out welding work to or in the vicinity
of SCHOTTEL products, the earthing terminal must
be connected directly at the position of welding, so
that no current can flow uncontrolled via bearings,
bevel gears or similar.
7 Noise protection
Units may only be put into operation when all noise
protection facilities have been properly installed and
closed.
In the case of units where operators or mechanics
are exposed to a noise level of
≥
85 dB (A), noise
protection must be worn and used.
8 Use of appliances causing noise fields
Use of walkie--talkies, mobile phones as well as other
noise field generating appliances within the immedi-
ate proximity of SCHOTTEL--steering systems may
cause breakdowns, and possibly to the failure of the
electronical steering unit.
Installation of external components into the
SCHOTTEL made steering electronics may cause
system breakdowns. Therefore it is absolutely
necessary to settle details with SCHOTTEL prior to
taking any action.
9 Environmental protection regulations
The relevant environmental protection regulations
must be observed.
Substances causing damage to the environment (i.e.
oils, acids, preservatives and detergents) must be
collected and disposed of in a non--polluting manner;
the relevant laws governing water pollution control
must be complied with.
Used filter cartridges must be collected in a separate
container marked for this purpose and disposed of in
a non--polluting manner.
When carrying out maintenance or assembly work
on products which have to be filled with oil or fuel, the
seals and washers removed should be replaced by
new ones. Following maintenance and assembly
work, the unit and its connections must be checked
for tightness.
Old batteries must be disposed of in a non--polluting
manner.
Before transporting any SCHOTTEL products con-
taining oil, the latter must be drained off first.
