General safety and
accident prevention
regulations
•
Responsibilities for the various activities have to be clearly allocat-
ed and adhered to. There must not be any confusion regarding re-
sponsibilities, otherwise the safety of the assembly personnel is
put at risk.
•
Before you start work, familiarize yourself with all the fittings and
actuation elements and their functions.
•
For all work on the machine, use only appropriate tools and imple-
ments in perfect condition.
•
You must only use parts (accessories, lubricants etc.) which com-
ply with the minimum manufacturer's specifications; you must use
them in accordance with regulations (including specified torques).
•
A part complies with the requirements, if it is an original replace-
ment part or if it carries the explicit endorsement by the manufac-
turer of the original machine.
•
Wear close-fitting clothes when operating the machine! Wear stur-
dy footwear and regulation protective equipment!
•
Chock and secure the machine carefully during assembly!
•
Particular care has to be taken in dealing with energy accumulators
such as springs and hydraulic or compressed air aggregates.
•
Dispose of oils, grease, and filters in accordance with regulations!
•
Protective equipment has to be properly fitted and swivelled into
their protective position.
•
Actuation elements (ropes, chains, and rod-assemblies) of remote-
ly controlled fittings have to be installed in such a way that they
cannot cause unintended movement in any transport or operating
position.
•
Do not leave the engine running inside enclosed buildings!
•
All remote-powered and all other movable parts (e.g. hydraulics)
have pinch or shear points!
•
Pay close attention to the markings on reversible connections and
be aware of the risk of transposition.
•
Always turn off the power supply before working on the electrical
system.
•
When carrying out electric welding, always disconnect the genera-
tor and battery cables!
