shows signs of abnormal wear.
● Make sure that no one stands close to moving parts before starting the
equipment.
● Never allow bystanders to stay close to the equipment when it is lifted and
/ or in operation.
● Before working on equipment (components, housings, etc.), disconnect it
from the electrical power source.
Secure main switches or emergency stop switches with a padlock to ensure
they cannot be switched back on again and install a warning sign.
● In particular, make sure that the tightening torques specified are complied
with.
● All electrically conductive parts with which the animals might come into
contact must be connected to each other and to the installation's protective
earth conductor by an additional equipotential bond.
● The operation and maintenance of equipment in livestock farms has
inherent risks. Read and follow the instructions carefully (especially the
section on ”Safety”) to ensure your own safety!
● The chapter on ”Technical data” gives the permissible working conditions
(pressure ranges, temperature ranges, etc.) and these must be followed!
● Do not open or dismantle devices (risk of injury)!

● When working with products from other manufacturers always observe the
warnings from the safety data sheets and operating instructions from the
product manufacturer!

● Do not stand underneath suspended loads.
● Sharp edges may cause injuries.
● If load suspension devices other than those indicated here are used, this
may lead to serious damage to property and/or life-threatening injury to

● Leaking lubricants, solvents,... could cause injury if they come into direct
contact with the skin and could make the floor surface slippery which could
result in dangerous fall.
● Always keep the control cabinet, all electricity supply units, and electrical
