2.2 Operator responsibility
In addition to the occupational safety information in these operating instructions, the safety,
accident prevention and environmental prevention regulations applicable to the operation site
of the appliance must also be observed. Thereby, the following applies in particular:
• The operator must inform himself regarding the applicable occupational safety
regulations and carry out a risk assessment to identify additional dangers arising
from the special work conditions at the operation site of the appliance.
• The operator must clearly regulate and determine responsibility for installation,
maintenance and cleaning.
• The operator must ensure that all persons engaged with the appliance have
completely read and understood the operating instructions.
• Furthermore, he must train the personnel at regular intervals and inform them of
the dangers associated with handling the appliance.
The operator is also responsible for ensuring that the equipment is always in a technically
flawless condition. Therefore, the following applies:
• After each time the equipment is used, or at least once a year, a visual inspection of
the appliance by an instructed person is required (per DGUV guideline 305-002 or
country-specific rules).
• Every three years, or whenever a doubt is raised about the safety or reliability of the
appliance, a function and load test must also be carried out (per DGUV guideline
305-002 or country-specific regulations).
• After each use, but at least once a year, check the seal on the battery cover and the
housing in the sealing area for cracks and damage. Lubricate the seal with colourless
lubricant WD40 or MegaÖl Plus with PTM.
• The appliance must be tested for leaks at least once a year or if there is any doubt
about its reliability.
NOTE!
Maintenance work can be carried out by instructed persons. Maintenance
measures and repairs may only be carried out by the appliance manufacturer,
or by specialist personnel trained by the appliance manufacturer and the
authorised service partners. Continuous training and instruction by the
appliance manufacturer is mandatory for a valid training certificate.
