Product Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of a Eurover column lifter from Simpro. These machines are ideal for food production areas, with a simple, safe design and minimal maintenance requirements Eurover tippers are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel, with food-grade welding and componentry. They are designed for easy cleaning, with a highly accessible single-mast design and stainless- steel covers to all components. Eurover employs a direct chain-drive mechanism that can safely lift bins weighing up to 350kg, backed up by a failsafe brake system. This allows for an adjustable tip height, with various models tipping in ranges from 1.2m up to 2.5m. The Eurover quick-hitch retaining system allows bins to be secured simply by rolling them into place, with no clamping required. At the end of the tipping cycle, pressing down on a foot catch allows the bins to be instantly released. The system is compatible with a range of international standard Eurobins and trolleys, also available from Simpro. Like all Simpro products, Eurover is designed to be exceptionally reliable and suitable for intensive production applications.

Key Features

Key features of the Eurover include:

1. A tipping action whereby bins are lifted straight up, and then gently rolled forward around the lip of the container being emptied into. Benefits of this design include a small floor footprint, high stability, and an adjustable tipping height.
2. 304-grade stainless steel construction, suitable for hygiene-critical applications.
3. A direct chain-drive lifting mechanism, with a capacity of 350kg.
4. A failsafe braking system to protect against chain failure.
5. A DIN9797 trunnion-lift bin retaining system, suitable for use with industry-standard Eurobins (also available from Simpro).
6. Upper and lower limit switches to prevent overload damage.
7. An extremely reliable, low-maintenance design.

Construction
The Eurover consists of a 304-grade stainless steel mast, covers, bolt-down base and bin cradle with a spring-loaded latch mechanism, a heavy-duty lifting chain, a sealed enclosure containing an AC electric motor, gearbox and electronic systems, operator controls, and a 3-phase power lead.

Mechanism
When the RAISE circuit is activated, an AC electric motor shaft rotates a sprocket wheel via a gearbox. The sprocket teeth pull on the lifting chain, causing the sliding block to move vertically in the mast. The bin cradle moves with the sliding block, and is inverted at the appropriate height by a fixed roller running in a tipping track. When the LOWER circuit is activated, the motor is reversed, causing the bin to be lowered back to ground level. Electronic control systems allow the operator to raise or lower the bin in a controlled manner.
Safe Lifting Capacity
The Safe Lifting Capacity of the standard Eurover is 350kg (770lb). Some machines may be specified with different lifting capacities. Refer to the rating plate to verify the Safe Lifting Capacity of any given machine.

• Safe Lifting Capacity is a gross figure, referring to the weight of the bin, its contents, and
• any other external objects which have been placed on the cradle.
• Never attempt to lift bins heavier than the machine’s rated Safe Lifting Capacity.

Duty cycle
The duty cycle of the Eurover depends on various environmental factors and the manner in which the machine is used. The figures given below are estimates only.

Duty Cycle (tipping ~250kg per bin at 2200mm)

Net throughput| Number of bins| Units
7,500kg| 30 bins| Per hour

Service life
The nominal service life of the Eurover is as follows:

Noise emissions
The noise emissions of the Eurover do not usually exceed ~60 dB(A) at the operator’s ear. Hearing protection is recommended if operating the machine for extended periods.

ISO standards specify that machinery noise emissions be measured in A-weighted decibels, or dB(A). This is a unit of volume adjusted to reflect the sensitivity of human hearing. Measurements for a dB(A) assessment are taken at a point 1.6 meters above the ground at the operator’s working position.

Environmental restrictions
The Eurover may be used indoors or outdoors. However, the following restrictions apply:

1. Minimum floor area 4 square meters, with a clear passage to exits;
2. Height above sea level not more than 1000m;
3. Ambient temperature not higher than +40℃ and not lower than -10℃;
4. At ambient temperatures above 35℃, the relative humidity should not exceed 50%; at lower temperatures, higher relative humidity is permitted;

Never operate the Eurover in explosive, corrosive, acidic or alkaline environments.

Quick Troubleshooting Guide
Refer to the Quick Troubleshooting Guide below before contacting your agent for support.

Adjusting the tipping height
The Eurover cradle is inverted at the desired height by a static tipping roller, which is mounted along with the top limit switch onto an adjustable ‘tipping bracket’. This bracket can be moved up or down to quickly adjust the Eurover tipping height, as set out below.

1. Lower the cradle to the ground and, if necessary, remove the Eurobin.
2. Depress the EMERGENCY STOP button and disconnect the power lead.
3. Using a spanner, loosen the three 16mm bolts holding the tipping bracket onto the adjustment track. The outer part of the bracket can now be pulled backward, disengaging the two deadbolts, and allowing the bracket to move up and down.
4. Reposition the bracket on the adjustment track as required. The track has holes predrilled at 50mm centers for engaging the deadbolts.
5. With the bracket at the desired height, push the outer part forward to re-engage the deadbolts. Take care that both deadbolts are fully inserted.
6. Re-tighten the three 16mm bolts to lock the bracket into its new position.
7. Carry out a complete tipping cycle to check that the cradle is inverted at the desired height, and the top limit switch operates correctly.

Cleaning
The Eurover should be cleaned with a water jet, a microfiber cloth, and a suitable food-grade cleaning agent. Cleaning should be carried out with the cradle lowered.

• Do not direct high-pressure water jets at the powerpack enclosure or controls.
• Refer to §1.9 for the IP ratings of the machine and various subcomponents.

Cradle jams
Occasionally the cradle may become jammed at some point in the tipping cycle. This is usually a minor problem that can be easily corrected.
Cradle jams while raising
There are two types of problems that can prevent the cradle from lifting when the RAISE button is pressed: overload and mechanical faults.
Overload fault
If the motor does not operate at all when the RAISE button is pressed, it is likely that the overload circuit breaker has been triggered by trying to empty an overweight bin. Observe the following procedures to rectify the problem.

The Eurover is not designed to lift bins weighing more than 350kg.

1. Remove the covers from the powerpack enclosure.
2. Press the red RESET button on the circuit breaker, then replace the covers.
3. Lower the bin to the ground.
4. Manually remove some material from the bin to lighten it.
5. Try to empty the bin again.

Mechanical fault
If the cradle starts to move but jams, the problem may be a mechanical fault. Observe the following procedures to rectify the problem.

1. If possible, lower the cradle to ground level and remove the bin.
2. Attempt to visually identify the cause of the jamming. The most likely problems are:
   • The mast is bent or damaged, jamming one of the mast rollers.
   • Part of the tipping track is bent or misaligned, interfering with the correct movement of the tipping roller.
   • A worn or misaligned tipping roller.
   • Lack of lubrication of the rollers or mast sliding block.
   • Poorly lubricated or broken lifting chains.
3. With the cradle lowered, rectify the problem by lubricating, straightening, and/or realigning the mechanical components as required. If the mast or another major component is bent, you may need to contact your agent for support.
4. Test the machine to see if the cradle now lifts correctly. Run the machine through several complete tipping cycles to ensure the problem has been fully resolved.
5. If the machine is still not operating correctly, contact your agent.

Cradle jams while lowering
There are two types of problems that can prevent the cradle from lowering when the LOWER button is pressed: electrical and mechanical faults.
Electrical fault
When the LOWER button is pressed, the motor contactor should emit a ‘click’ sound. If it does not, the problem is likely an electrical fault. Observe the following procedures to rectify the problem.

This procedure should only be carried out by an authorized, certified electrician, following 3-phase electrical safety procedures.

1. Open the control cabinet cover.
2. Using a multimeter, check that the motor contactor is receiving an electrical signal. If not, check the wiring and repair any breaks.
3. Test the machine to see if the cradle now lifts correctly. Run the machine through several complete tipping cycles to ensure the problem has been fully resolved.
4. If the machine is still not operating correctly, contact your agent.

Mechanical fault
If the cradle starts to move but jams, the problem may be a mechanical fault. Observe the following procedures to rectify the problem.

1. If possible, lower the cradle to ground level and remove the bin.
2. Attempt to visually identify the cause of the jamming. The most likely problems are:
   • The mast is bent or damaged, jamming one of the mast rollers.
   • Part of the tipping track is bent or misaligned, interfering with the correct movement of the tipping roller.
   • A worn or misaligned tipping roller.
   • Lack of lubrication of the rollers or mast sliding block.
   • Poorly lubricated or damaged lifting chains.
3. With the cradle lowered, rectify the problem by lubricating, straightening, and/or realigning the mechanical components as required. If the mast or another major component is bent, you may need to contact your agent for support.
4. Test the machine to see if the cradle now lifts correctly. Run the machine through several complete tipping cycles to ensure the problem has been fully resolved.
5. If the machine is still not operating correctly, contact your agent.

Electrical System
The Eurover is driven by a 3-phase 2-pole electric motor, which is connected to the lifting chain via a gearbox. A transformer provides 24VDC correct to the control circuits.The motor runs only when the cradle is lifting or lowering.
International conformance
The specifications of 3-phase machines may differ depending on the standard voltage and frequency of 3-phase mains power in the intended country of use. In regions where 3-phase/~400VAC/50Hz power is standard (primarily in Europe, Australasia, and Asia) the Eurover motor is driven directly by the 3-phase current in a delta configuration.A list of 3-phase power standards in different countries and territories may be viewed here: https://www.worldstandards.eu/three-phase-electric-power/.

Connecting the Eurover to a power supply for which it is not designed may damage the motor and electronic components. Consult an electrician if you are unsure.

Appliance inlet
The Eurover is fitted with a 3P+N+E 16Amp appliance inlet with IP44 ingress protection. This allows the machine to be operated using a regular 3-phase extension lead.

The Eurover is fitted with a phase-rotation relay, so it will not operate if the AC phase polarity of the input power is inverted. This can be corrected by switching two of the phase wires in the power plug as set out in §4.1.3.

Emergency stop
The Eurover is fitted with an EMERGENCY STOP button on the control panel. It is engaged by depressing the red button and disengaged by pulling the button outwards. When engaged, the EMERGENCY STOP isolates all of the machine’s electrical circuits from the power supply. It should be engaged, and the mains power lead disconnected before any covers are removed from the machine.

Motor
The Eurover is fitted with a NORD 1.1kW AC electric motor, which drives the lifting chains through a gearbox. The motor accepts a variety of different input voltages and frequencies.

Preventative Maintenance Inspections
Regular preventative maintenance inspections (PMIs) should be carried out on the Eurover. This helps ensure operator safety and extend the service life of the machine. The inspection procedures and log sheets are provided in the following section.

• Operators should immediately stop using the Eurover and request an inspection if any abnormal operation or fault is observed.
• In the United Kingdom, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 specifies that all workplace lifting equipment be subjected to ‘thorough inspection’ on  regular basis. These are sometimes known as LOLER checks. The following schedules and logs may be used to demonstrate conformance with UK LOLER regulations.

Pre-inspection checklist

1. Wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety boots, protective eyewear, and height safety equipment when servicing elevated areas.
2. Ensure that there are no ignition sources nearby.
3. Lower the cradle to the ground and, if necessary, remove the Eurobin.
4. Depress the EMERGENCY STOP button and disconnect the power lead.

Installation, Handling & Storage

• Installation, handling, and storage tasks should only be conducted by authorized personnel in accordance with the following procedures.
• The Eurover weighs 350-400kg and should be handled with care at all times.

Installing
The Eurover is usually delivered fully assembled. Machines with a mobile base can be operated immediately, but bolt-down machines must first be installed and commissioned in accordance with the following procedures.
Before installing

Before installing a bolt-down Eurover, ensure that the following requirements are met:

1. An install location with a hard flat 40MPa concrete floor at least 150mm thick, and 1000mm of clear space in three directions as shown by the diagram at right.
2. Mobile lifting equipment (such as a forklift truck or crane) with a safe working load of at least 500kg, can be operated at the install location.
3. A power drill with a 20mm concrete bit.
4. Six M16 x 100-150mm sleeve anchors (Dynabolt™ or similar). For optimum longevity in wet environments, 304 stainless-steel anchors should be used.

Erecting the mast
Carry out the following procedures to erect the Eurover mast.

1. Connect a chain or sling from the lifting equipment to the lifting eye at the top of the Eurover mast.

2. With one person operating the lifting equipment, and another watching for obstructions and steadying the load, slowly lift the Eurover until the mast is upright, with the base a short distance off the ground.

3. Transport the Eurover to the install location, taking care not to strike any obstacles.
   Never stand or reach underneath the machine while it is lifted.

4. Carefully set the Eurover onto the ground in the install location.

5. Use a spirit level to ensure the mast is oriented at exactly 90° degrees vertically. Adjust the position and orientation of the Eurover as required.

6. Using the bolt-down base as a template, drill six ⌀20mm holes into the concrete floor for the sleeve anchors. Clean the holes with compressed air.

7. Fix the Eurover into position with six M16 x 100-150mm sleeve anchors, in accordance with the fixing manufacturer’s instructions.

8. The Eurover is now installed and can be detached from the lifting equipment.

Connecting the power

• Electrical work should only be carried out by a certified electrician.
• The recommended power supply for the standard Eurover is ~415VAC 50Hz 3-phase (±5% voltage and ±1% hertz) with a nominal capacity of at least 6 Amps.
• For complete electrical specifications refer to the rating plate on the motor (see §3.5.4).

1. Depress the EMERGENCY STOP button.
2. Connect the power plug to the socket at the base of the powerpack enclosure.
3. Release the EMERGENCY STOP button.
4. Press the RAISE button. If the cradle does not move, it is likely that the AC phase polarity of the input current is inverted. The Eurover is fitted with a phase-rotation relay, so it will not operate if the phasing is incorrect. Observe the following procedures to rectify this problem:
   • Depress the EMERGENCY STOP button
   • Disconnect the power
   • Have a qualified electrician switch over any two of the phase wires in the power plug.
   • Repeat the process from step 2 above.
5. Once the machine is operating normally, proceed with commissioning.

Commissioning
Once the machine has been installed and connected to the power, it should be tested to check for any operating faults or problems.

1. Without loading a bin into the machine, press the RAISE button on the control panel. The cradle should begin to lift.

   • If the cradle does not move, it is likely that the AC phase polarity of the input current is inverted. Carry out the procedure in §4.1.3 to rectify the problem.

2. Insert a 200L Eurobin into the cradle and carry out a complete tipping cycle to check that the upper and lower limit switches are adjusted correctly. The motor should stop at the top of the cycle when the bin is at about 40° degrees, and at the bottom of the cycle when the bin touches the ground.
   If the motor does not stop in the desired position, adjust the position of the two limit switches as necessary.

3. Conduct another tipping cycle with an empty Eurobin, closely observing the roller and tipping track for jamming, unusual sounds, or misaligned operation. Adjust or realign components as necessary.

4. Conduct a tipping cycle with a full bin to validate the installation. The complete tipping cycle should take approximately one minute. If the bin does not completely empty, the top limit switch can be adjusted to change the tipping angle, per step 2.

Once all checks are complete, the Eurover may be placed into service.

Moving

• The Eurover with a mobile base unit can be easily moved using the grab handles provided. To ensure stability the cradle should be positioned 100mm off the ground when moving.
• On a hard, flat surface, the mobile Eurover can be moved by a force of approximately 100 Newtons at a height of 1.6 meters.
• Extra care should be taken when moving the machine on sloping ground.

Lifting
Carry out the following procedures when lifting the Eurover:

1. Check that the lifting equipment is in good condition and has a safe working load of at least 500kg.
2. Connect a chain or sling from the lifting equipment to the lifting eye at the top of the Eurover mast.
3. With one person operating the lifting equipment, and another watching for obstructions and steadying the load, slowly lift the Eurover until the base is a short distance off the ground.
4. Move the machine to the desired location and lower it into position. If the machine is being laid over for storage or transport, place it onto its side with the mast lowermost.

• Standard Eurover models weigh 350-400kg. Always verify the weight of the machine on the rating plate, and check that the lifting equipment to be used has sufficient capacity.
• Never stand or reach underneath the machine while it is being lifted.

Transporting

Carry out the following procedures when transporting the Eurover:

1. Lower the cradle, apply both brakes (if fitted) and disconnect the power.
2. Use suitable lifting equipment to place the machine onto its side on a wooden pallet, with the mast lowermost. Securely strap it into place.
3. Load the pallet onto the truck deck using a forklift of at least 1 tonne capacity.
4. Tie the pallet into place using marked tie-down points and strops rated to at least 1000kg. Ensure it is fastened against lateral forces from any direction.

Never lie the Eurover onto its front or back as this may damage the cradle and guarding.

Storing
If the Eurover is not to be used for a period of six months or more, it should be stored in a clean, dry place with good ventilation, at temperatures not below 0℃. Carry out the following procedures when placing the Eurover into storage:

1. Conduct two complete tipping cycles, then lower the cradle to the ground.
2. Depress the EMERGENCY STOP button and disconnect the power.
3. Clean the machine thoroughly as per §3.3.
4. Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant to the exposed surfaces of moving parts.
5. If a key switch is fitted, remove the key and store it in a safe location.

Safety Assessment

• The Eurover has been designed to be as safe as possible without restricting the ease of use and versatility of the machine.
• An application-specific Hazard and Risk Assessment should be completed before the Eurover is used for the first time, as set out in §5.3.

Safety features
The safety features of the Eurover are as follows:

1. A slow 0.12m/s operation speed minimizes the entanglement risk to personnel.
2. A geared lifting mechanism that lifts and lowers at the same speed regardless of the weight of the bin.
3. A failsafe brake system that prevents the cradle from rapid unauthorized descent in the event of a failure of the motor, gearbox or lifting chain.
4. Controls are located on the opposite side of the machine to the lifting mechanism and cradle.

Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The reasonably foreseeable misuse considered in the Eurover design is as follows:

1. Use of the machine by untrained operators;
2. Attempts to lift bins that the cradle is not specifically designed to hold;
3. Personnel accessing areas underneath the cradle without following proper procedures;
4. Attempts to clean the machine without following proper procedures.

ISO12100 Hazard and Risk Assessment Guide

• As set out in §5.4, organizations seeking to demonstrate ISO13849 conformance must assess the safety of their machinery in the intended conditions of use, considering all relevant factors such as the area the machine is to be used, the training of operators, the proximity of other persons, frequency of use, etc. The following section uses the ISO12100:2010 risk assessment model to assist prospective Eurover owners in carrying out this process. Hazards intrinsic to the Eurover design are pre-filled, while blank spaces are provided to assess application-specific hazards.
• ISO12100:2010 ‘Risk assessment and risk reduction’, is a standard issued by the International Standards Organisation. It describes procedures for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of a machine life cycle.
• As with all powered industrial equipment, some hazards will remain despite any precautions undertaken by the manufacturer or owner of the machine. It is essential that operators are aware of these residual hazards and what they must do to prevent harm to themselves or to others, as set out in §5.3.3.

The ISO12100 risk assessment model
In the ISO12100 risk assessment model, each identified hazard is given a Risk Factor, from which is derived a Risk Evaluation. These parameters are assessed as follows.5.3.1.1 Determining the Risk FactorThe Risk Factor associated with any given hazard may be calculated from the following table, using the formula: Risk Factor = LO x FE x DPH x NP

Determining the Risk Evaluation
Once the Risk Factor has been calculated, the Risk Evaluation of the hazard can be determined from the following table:

Risk Factor| 0- 1| 2- 5| 6- 10| 11- 50| 51- 100| 101- 500| 501- 1000| 1001 +
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Evaluation| Negligible| Very Low| Low| Significant| High| Very High| Extreme| Unaccept able

Risks evaluated as Very High, Extreme or Unacceptable are likely to require additional or uprated safety functions as set out in §5.4. These must be specified at the time of order.

Identified Hazards
The following hazards have been identified that are intrinsic to the Eurover design. For each hazard, a full Risk Evaluation has been completed and control measures described. Blank template spaces are also provided to identify, assess, and describe control measures for application-specific hazards.

Entanglement or amputation of fingers or limbs in moving parts

Operator

| LO:| 1| FE:| 4| DPH:| 2| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 8
Operation of the Eurover requires the operator to stand on the opposing side of the machine from the lifting mechanism.

Other persons

| LO:| 1| FE:| 2.5| DPH:| 2| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 5
The operator has a good view of the cradle while lifting and lowering, and can simply stop all movement by releasing the control button if any other persons approach the cradle while moving.

Control measures

| Operators are responsible to obey all warning signs and instructions regarding keeping themselves and others clear of all moving parts.

The Eurover has a slow 0.12m/s operation speed, minimizing the entanglement risk to personnel.

Comments| The Eurover is designed so trapping hazards are minimized.
Crushing due to unauthorized rapid descent of cradle

Operator

| LO:| 0.5| FE:| 4| DPH:| 2| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 4
There is nothing to stop an operator or other person moving under the cradle while it is inverted. A failsafe lock system prevents the cradle from descending even in the event of a mechanical failure. Significant safety margins ensure that the probability of failure of any steel, hydraulic, or control parts failing is very low.
Other persons| LO:| 0.5| FE:| 2.5| DPH:| 2| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 2.5
As above.
Control measures| Operators are responsible to obey warning signs and instructions regarding keeping themselves and others away from the area beneath the cradle. The machine must be regularly inspected, and any faults promptly repaired.
Comments| In regular operation, the gearbox restrains the maximum travel speed of the cradle to approximately 0.12m/s.
Operator or others being hit by falling or flying debris

Operator

| LO:| 1| FE:| 4| DPH:| 0.5| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 2
Operation of the Eurover requires the operator to stand on the opposing side of the machine from the lifting mechanism, where they are partially shielded by the mast. There is some additional risk if tipping into poorly designed chutes or receptacles.
Other persons| LO:| 1| FE:| 4| DPH:| 0.5| NP:| 1| Risk Factor:| 2
Some risk of tipping into poorly designed chutes or receptacles.

Residual Hazards
As with all powered lifting equipment, some ‘residual hazards’ may be present despite any interlocks, guarding or other safety systems that may be implemented.The machinery owner has a legal responsibility to take all reasonable precautions to eliminate, isolate, or minimize these residual hazards. This may include:

• Monitoring and enforcing the training of operators
• Design and implementation of Standard Operating Procedures
• Using rewards and/or disciplinary measures to encourage safe behaviors
• Posting signage, floor marking, or other warnings as appropriate
• Encouraging a culture of safety within the workplace

ISO13849 (AS/NZS4024) Conformance Guide
In most countries, Workplace Health and Safety legislation imposes a statutory duty on employers to provide a safe workplace for their staff, including machinery that is safe to operate. To determine whether machinery is legally ‘safe to operate’ many jurisdictions use and accept an ISO standard named ISO13849 (or a local equivalent such as AS/NZS4024). Underpinning the ISO13849 standard is the concept that no matter what safeguards a manufacturer may provide, it is not possible to produce a machine that will be safe in every possible condition. Each unique application may introduce unique hazards, calling for unique safeguards to ensure the safety of personnel. Therefore, to demonstrate ISO13849 conformance, employers must assess the safety of their machinery in its intended conditions of use. Application-specific hazards must be assessed and if necessary, addressed by custom guarding, interlocks, or other safety functions, before the machinery is placed into service. The following section is intended to assist prospective Eurover operators in carrying out this process.

• ISO13849-1:2015 ‘Safety of machinery’ is a standard issued by the International Standards Organisation. It has been reissued with local modifications by some national standards authorities. In Australia and New Zealand, the equivalent standard is AS/NZS 4024.1:2014.
• In the United States, ANSI standards are commonly used to demonstrate the safety of machinery. However, since the US model relies largely on ‘best practice’ and ‘liability’ to enforce workplace H&S norms, US companies who demonstrate machinery safety using ISO 13849-1 may be considered to have met their statutory H&S obligations.

The ISO13849 functional safety model
Unlike the system architecture model used by earlier safety standards, ISO 13849-1:2015 uses a functional safety model of machinery safety. That means it takes account of the reliability of parts as well as other factors to create a comprehensive measure of the risk reduction achieved by a safety function – an indicator called Performance Level (PL). The standard defines five Performance Levels, ranging from PLa (lowest performance) to PLe (highest performance). The standard also defines the Performance Level that a given safety function must achieve to reduce the risk to an acceptable level – a value called Performance Level required (PLr).

Identifying the required safety functions
To identify the safety functions required for a given machine, an application- specific hazard, and risk assessment should first be completed as set out in §5.3. Any hazards that cannot be manually avoided must be addressed by an appropriate safety function.

Determining the required Performance Level of safety functions defined by the ISO13849 safety model, the minimum acceptable PLr for any given safety function is based on three parameters:

1. The severity of injury expected from the associated hazard
2. Frequency and/or duration of exposure to the associated hazard
3. Possibility of manually avoiding the associated hazard

The following table may be used to determine the acceptable PLr from these parameters.

Safety Function PLr Determination Table

The severity of injury expected from hazard| Frequency and/or duration of exposure to hazard| Possibility of manually avoiding the hazard| Minimum acceptable PLr

Slight injury (reversible)

| Seldom to quite often and/or short exposure time| Possible under specific conditions| PLa
Scarcely possible|

PLb

Frequent to continuous and/or long exposure time| Possible under specific conditions
Scarcely possible|

PLc

Serious injury or death (irreversible)

| Seldom to quite often and/or short exposure time| Possible under specific conditions
Scarcely possible|

PLd

Frequent to continuous and/or long exposure time| Possible under specific conditions
Scarcely possible| PLe

Achieving the required Performance Level
Because all hazards intrinsic to the Eurover design are addressed by safety functions with PLc performance, alternative or uprated safety functions are only required if an application-specific risk assessment identifies any of the following:

• Hazards requiring safety functions not provided for in the standard Eurover design.
• Hazards that are sufficiently serious and/or frequent as to require safety functions with PLd performance or above.
• Corporate policies, union contracts, OSH regulations or other external factors require all safety functions to have PLd performance or above.

In this case, information about the risk assessment and required safety parameters should be provided to Simpro before placing an order. Simpro can then specify alternative or uprated safety functions, such as:

• Full cage guarding
• Interlocked safety door
• CAT3 or CAT4 monitoring system
• Remote controls
• Training of operators
• Signage and floor markings

Exclusions

1. Simpro will not recognize a Warranty Claim against a machine where payment to Simpro for that machine is outstanding. If a Warranty Claim is made before payment is due, the full payment must be made on the due date. The Warranty Claim, if accepted, will be credited at a later date.
2. Warranty Claims may not be recognized unless the Warranty Registration Process has been completed. If not done at the time of sale, this should be done at the time of the Warranty Claim. If warranty registration has not been completed, proof of purchase may be required.
3. Damage caused or contributed to by misuse, abuse, accident, unauthorized repairs or modifications, or failure to use the machine in accordance with instructions is specifically excluded.
4. Traveling time and mileage are specifically excluded from the Simpro warranty coverage. However under certain circumstances Simpro at its discretion may contribute to these costs. Authorization must be obtained from Simpro prior to any such Warranty Claim. This does not prohibit an Agent from offering more extensive Warranty coverage, outside of this Warranty, as negotiated between the Agent and the End User.

End User claim procedure

1. Where a fault or breakdown appears to have occurred the End User should, if applicable, first consult the Quick Troubleshooting Guide section of the User Manual provided with each machine, to ascertain the cause of the fault and remedy if possible. This information may also be accessed on the Simpro Support website: http://support.simpro.world.
2. If the fault is not able to be remedied, the End User should contact the Agent who sold the machine and explain as fully as possible the fault, including all relevant factors such as:-
3. Did the fault occur suddenly, or did it develop over a period of time?
4. Was the machine being used at the time the fault first occurred?
5. Is the fault intermittent?
6. Are the batteries fully charged?
7. If repair is urgent, or the Agent cannot be contacted, the End User may contact Simpro directly.

Agent claim handling procedure

1. Upon receiving notification of a fault, the Service Agent should attempt to determine the cause and a course of action before going to see the machine.
2. The Service Agent should contact Simpro for assistance in identifying the fault if it is not apparent. This step is important so that if a site visit is necessary, the correct tools and spare Parts can be taken. It is also important to establish whether there may have been any negligence, misuse or an accident that contributed to or caused the fault.
3. Parts requiring replacement will be supplied by Simpro free of charge; in some cases, it may be necessary to source Parts locally if needed urgently, but Simpro must authorize this if the cost of the item exceeds $50.00 and is to be charged to Simpro.
4. If the fault is not a Minor Fault, the Agent must notify Simpro and receive authorization to proceed before the repair work is done. Simpro will assist in every way possible, including discussing the problem directly with the End User if necessary, to determine the best method of effecting the repair in the shortest time possible.
5. Upon completion of the repair to an acceptable standard, the Agent shall complete the Application For Warranty Consideration Form and include copies of any invoices for labor, and any Parts supplied.
6. The cost of Warranty repairs is not to be deducted from any payments due to Simpro unless Simpro issues a credit note clearly stating the amount and which invoice it relates to.
7. Simpro undertakes to be reasonable in respect of all Warranty repairs undertaken by Agents but reserves the right to decline payment for:-
8. Work done or materials replaced that were not authorized in advance by Simpro.
9. Work not done to an acceptable standard.
10. Work taking an unduly long time, due (in part or in full) to the lack of knowledge or skill of the serviceman or the Agent. The time allowed for repair work will be based on Simpro’s assessment of what a reasonably skilled tradesman would take. Full-Service Manuals are available on request at any time from Simpro and all service visits should be conducted with a Service Manual at hand.

This warranty shall be interpreted according to the laws of New Zealand and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand.
