Spare parts, replacement parts and accessories
WARNING
Risk of damage, malfunction or complete failure of the device!
Incorrect or faulty spare/replacement parts and accessories will put the functional safety
and reliability of the device at risk. This could result in the failure of components or
a device malfunction, as well as material damage and consequential damage.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
Only use the manufacturer's original spare parts.
We expressly draw attention to the fact that spare parts and accessories NOT supplied by AWH have
NOT been checked or approved by AWH. The installation and/or use of such products could therefore,
under certain circumstances, result in changes with negative results to the properties of the device
specified by its design and the higher-level plant.
AWH is not liable for any damage resulting from the use of non-original parts or non-original
accessories. Standard parts can be obtained from specialist dealers.
2.3
Duties of the Owner
The device is used in the commercial sector. The owner is thus subject to the legal obligations regarding
occupational safety.
In the EEA (European Economic Area), the national implementation of the Framework Directive
(89/391/EEC) on taking measures for improving safety and protecting the health of employees during
work, as well as the associated individual directives shall be observed and complied with in their
current valid versions.
The Directive (2009/104/EC) on the minimum specifications for the safety and health protection of
employees using equipment for their work is of particular importance in this context.
As a basic rule, in Germany the Industrial Safety and Health Protection Ordinance (BetrSichV) must be
observed.
In other countries, the respective national guidelines, statutes and country-specific regulations
regarding occupational safety and accident prevention must be complied with.
The following, non-exhaustive instructions apply in particular:
–
The owner must ensure that the device is used only as intended (see
Section 2.1 Intended Use
–
The owner must keep himself informed of the locally applicable occupational health and safety
regulations and, in addition, use a hazard assessment to determine the hazards resulting from the
specific working conditions at the location of use of the device. These must then be implemented in
the form of operating instructions for operation of the device.
–
When using hazardous materials, protective measures must be specified in accordance with the
safety data sheets and operating instructions must be compiled for hazardous materials. Personnel
must be instructed accordingly. This also applies to hazardous substances that may develop during
work processes.
