4.4 Storing the mechanical arrest system
The component is treated with a preserving agent ex-works. The parts are therefore protected
against for a maximum of 6 months if stored in a dry environment.
The corrosion protection at all unpainted areas (sliding areas, gear racks) must be inspected be-
fore admission into storage and renewed if necessary. Prior to a trial run, the corrosion protection
must be removed and replaced by the lubricant specified in the maintenance instructions.
The component must never be stored outdoors.
Caution!
No other parts may be stored on the mechanical arrest system!
4.5 Installing the mechanical arrest system
The component must be installed in accordance with the supplied general drawing.
=> see drawing for article number
Before starting installation, make sure that all the parts have been supplied and are available. All
the parts must be installed correctly.
The electrical and pneumatic connections must be established.
We cannot accept liability for errors or damage of any type.
4.6 Starting the component
Before start-up, the mechanical arrest system must be integrated in the overall safety concept.
The personnel must be trained and qualified.
All measurement and alarm displays (safety components) must be installed and checked for error-
free functioning before the component is activated. If one of the displays indicates a malfunction,
do not activate the mechanical arrest system. If the malfunction occurs after the component has
been activated for the first time, check the functioning of the mechanical arrest system and the
safety system again.
Make sure that the required lubricant has been applied at all lubrication points.
=> see lubrication and maintenance schedule in section 8.7.
Caution!
Check whether the proximity switches are activated correctly.
