General safety
- Never work alone when installing or removing the product.
- The machine must always be switched off before any work is performed on it (assembly, dis-
mantling, maintenance, installation). The product must be disconnected from the electrical
system and secured against being switched on again. All rotating parts must be at a standstill.
- The operator should inform his/her superior immediately should any defects or irregularities
occur.
- It is of vital importance that the system is shut down immediately by the operator if any
problems arise which may endanger safety of personnel. Problems of this kind include:
- Failure of the safety and/or control devices
- Damage to critical parts
- Damage to electric installations, cables and insulation
- Tools and other objects should be kept in a place reserved for them so that they can be found
quickly.
- Sufficient ventilation must be provided in enclosed rooms.
- When welding or working with electronic devices, ensure that there is no danger of explosion.
- Only use fastening devices which are legally defined as such and officially approved.
- The fastening devices should be suitable for the conditions of use (weather, hooking system,
load, etc). If these are separated from the machine after use, they should be expressly marked
as fastening devices. Otherwise they should be carefully stored.
- Mobile working apparatus for lifting loads should be used in a manner that ensures the stabil-
ity of the working apparatus during operation.
- When using mobile working apparatus for lifting non-guided loads, measures should be taken
to avoid tipping and sliding etc.
- Measures should be taken that no person is ever directly beneath a suspended load. Further-
more, it is also prohibited to move suspended loads over workplaces where people are
present.
- If mobile working equipment is used for lifting loads, a second person should be present to
coordinate the procedure if needed (for example if the operator's field of vision is blocked).
- The load to be lifted must be transported in such a manner that nobody can be injured in the
case of a power cut. Additionally, when working outdoors, such procedures must be inter-
rupted immediately if weather conditions worsen.
These instructions must be strictly observed. Non-observance can result
in injury or serious damage to property.
Electrical work
Our electrical products are operated with alternating or industrial high-voltage current. The local
regulations (e.g. VDE 0100) must be adhered to. The “Electrical connection” data sheet must be
observed when connecting the product. The technical specifications must be strictly adhered to.
If the machine has been switched off by a protective device, it must not
be switched on again until the error has been corrected.
