5.3 - Safety measures and precautions
•
Correct usage of the “DGT” drive units
and
endcarriages allows users to take fully
advantage of their performance specifications in complete safety.
•
Performance specifications are guaranteed only if the indications listed hereunder
are followed attentively:
•
ALWAYS
follow
the instructions outlined in the operating and maintenance manual, and make certain all
components and parts on the “DGT” drive units and endcarriages function properly.
•
ALWAYS
make certain the “DGT” drive units and endcarriages operate in a working environment that is
protected from atmospheric agents (rain, wind, snow, etc.), or, if operated outdoors, that they are equipped with
suitable guards or protections.
•
ALWAYS
make certain the “DGT” drive units and endcarriages handle loads that are compatible with their
capacity specifications, in shape, dimensions, weight, balancing and temperature.
•
ALWAYS
verify that performance specifications on the “DGT”
drive units and endcarriages correspond to the
service they are used for (work cycles – operating time – loads handled).
•
ALWAYS
make certain the travelling runs on the “DGT”
drive units and endcarriages are positioned at a height
of > 2.7 m from the flooring, i.e. such as to ensure that the operator will not interfere with moving elements
(wheels, girders). If this is not possible, set up appropriate guards or warning signs in danger areas.
•
ALWAYS
ascertain the proper maintenance status of the “DGT”
drive units and endcarriages (wear, cleaning
and lubrication) and their main components (wheels, reducers and motors, etc.).
•
ALWAYS
check the correct operation (spaces, efficiency times) of the self-braking motors and brakes.
•
ALWAYS
check the correct responses of all movements on the “DGT” drive units and endcarriages.
•
ALWAYS
check the efficiency of the limit switches, verifying their operation on a constant basis.
•
ALWAYS
activate forward reverse movements avoiding jolts and impulses in rapid succession.
•
ALWAYS
cut off power to the motors when carrying out inspections, repairs, or maintenance interventions.
•
ALWAYS
point out operating irregularities (faulty operation, malfunctions, suspected breakages, incorrect
movements and abnormal noises) to the department coordinator, placing the “DGT” drive units and endcarriages
out of service.
•
ALWAYS
respect the maintenance schedule, and at every control record any observations, especially related to:
wear on the wheels, conditions of brakes and limit switches.
•
ALWAYS
replace the covers on the terminals following inspections or maintenance interventions on the motors.
