must be observed and kept in completely readable condition at all costs.
2.2 Personnel development and training
The personnel responsible for operation, maintenance, inspection and assembly must have
the corresponding qualifications for those types of work. Area of responsibility, competence
and the surveillance of the personnel must be regulated precisely by the operator. If the
personnel do not possess the necessary knowledge, they must be trained and instructed. By
order of the operator, the instruction and training, if necessary, can be carried out by the
manufacturer/supplier. Furthermore the operator must make sure that the personnel have
completely understood the content of the operation manual.
2.3 Dangers in case of non-observance of the safety notes
The non-observance of the safety notes can cause dangers to persons as well as to the
environment and the machine. If the safety notes are not observed, this can result in the loss
of all compensation claims.
In detail, non-observance can for instance result in the following damages:
-
Failure of important functions of the machine/unit
-
Failure of the prescribed methods for maintenance and repair
-
Endangerment of persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical influences
-
Endangerment of the environment through leakage of hazardous substances
2.4 Safety-conscious way of working
The safety notes listed in this operation manual, the existent national regulations on accident
prevention as well as possible internal working, operating, and safety instructions of the
operator must be observed.
2.5 Safety notes for the operator/user
-
Hot or cold machine components which could cause danger must be secured against
contact by the customer.
-
Protection against contact with moving parts (e.g. coupling) must not be removed while the
machine is operating.
-
Leakages (e.g. of the shaft sealing) of hazardous materials to be conveyed (e.g. explosive,
toxic, hot) must be discharged in such a way that no danger arises for persons or the
environment. The legal requirements must be observed.
-
Endangerments through electric power must be eliminated (details concerning this, see
e.g. the regulations of the VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic and
Information Technology) and the local energy suppliers).
2.6 Safety notes concerning maintenance, inspection, and assembly works
The operator must make sure that all maintenance, inspection, and assembly works are
carried out by authorised, skilled, and qualified personnel which are adequately informed by
having thoroughly studied the operation manual.
Generally, works on the machine are only to be carried out when the machine is turned off.
The procedure of switching off the machine, which is described in the operation manual, must
be observed at all costs.
