In case of safety notes the non-observance of which can cause danger to the machine and its
functioning, the word ATTENTION! is inserted.
Notes that are directly attached to the machine, such as - arrow indicating the direction of rotation
- marking of fluid connections
have to 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 have to be regulated precisely by the operator. If the personnel do not
possess the necessary knowledge, they are to 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 has to 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/plant
-
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 are
to be observed.
2.5 Safety notes for the operator/user
-
Hot or cold machine components which could cause danger have to 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) have to be discharged in such a way that no danger arises for persons or the environment.
The legal requirements are to be observed.
-
Endangerments through electric power are to 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).
