1. Safety instructions
1.4 Protective equipment
Personal protective equipment must comply with
the applicable health and safety regulations.
Always wear the following personal protective
equipment:
◊ Protective helmet
◊ Safety glasses with side protectors
◊ Protective gloves
◊ Protective shoes
◊ Warning vest
1.5 Operation, precautions
WARNING!
If the load-bearing capacity of the carrier used is
insufficient, the carrier will not be stable. It can
topple over and cause injuries and damage.
Using a carrier whose load-bearing capacity is too
high will greatly burden the IBEX breaker causing
it to wear faster.
Ø
Only attach the IBEX breaker to a hydraulic
carrier of a suitable load-bearing capacity.
Ø
The carrier must remain stable at all times.
Ø
Read the carrier manufacturer’s Instructions
before attaching the IBEX breaker to the carrier
and operating it. Observe all instructions.
1.6 Hydraulic installation, precautions
WARNING!
If the hydraulic pressure is too high, the parts of
the IBEX breaker will be exposed to excessively
high loads. Parts can break loose or burst causing
serious injuries.
Ø
Connect the drain line of the pressure relief
valve directly in the tank to ensure the safe
functioning of the pressure relief valve!
Ø
The pressure relief valve must be set at the
maximum static pressure.
Ø
The pressure relief valve setting must be
checked to ensure that the maximum static
pressure (see chapter Technical specifications) of
the hydraulic installation is not exceeded at any
time. Attach a lead seal to the pressure relief
valve.
Ø
Prior to their first use, the safety facilities on
the hydraulic installation must be checked by
a professional/authorised monitoring body
for their quality (CE mark etc.), suitability and
proper functioning.
Ø
If any significant changes are made to the
hydraulic installation, a new acceptance
inspection is to be carried out in accordance with
the relevant national safety provisions.
WARNING!
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic lines may spring a leak or burst.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can lead to serious
injury.
Ø
When attaching the IBEX breaker do not lay any
hydraulic lines through the carrier’s cab.
Ø
Only use hydraulic lines which comply with the
highest quality requirements.
1.7 Media/consumables, precautions
WARNING!
Hydraulic oil will spray out under high pressure if
there is a leakage. The jet of oil might penetrate
people’s skin and cause permanent damage. Hot
hydraulic oil can cause burns.
Ø
Never use your hands to find leaks.
Ø
Always keep your face away from a possible
leak.
Ø
If hydraulic oil has penetrated your skin consult
a doctor immediately.
WARNING!
Spilt hydraulic oil can make a floor slippery. If
people slip they can be injured. Hydraulic oil is
environmentally harmful and must not penetrate
the ground or enter the water table or water
supplies.
Ø
Make sure not to spill any hydraulic oil.
Ø
Immediately clean the floor if you have spilt
hydraulic oil.
Ø
Observe all safety and environmental protection
provisions when handling hydraulic oil.
WARNING!
Hydraulic oil and grease can cause rashes (or even
eczema) if they come into contact with the skin.
Ø
Avoid all skin contact with hydraulic oil and
grease.
Ø
Use a suitable skin protection product.
Ø
Always wear safety gloves when working with
hydraulic oil or grease.
Ø
Immediately clean any skin that has been
contaminated by oil or grease with water and
soap.
