Before starting work the operating and maintenance staff must have read and understood the operating instructions and in particular the safety directives. Protective equipment for the operating and maintenance staff must be provided and worn. The operator of the installation or an authorized person must supervise the correct handling of the system with respect to safety and prevention of damage.

Special safety advice

During transport and assembly:
Fasten components and larger assembly groups carefully to suitable and technically faultless hoist units and load-carryingequipment with sufficient load capacity.
When connecting:
- Connections must only be finished by specially skilled staff.
- The customer must imperatively install a safety valve.
WARNING!
A safety device for the feeding system of compressed air (pressure control valve) must be provided by customer! The safety device must inhibit a system overpressure of more than 10% above the allowed operating pressure!
Prior to commissioning:
- Visual control of the entire installation and its components.
- Check safety relevant parts and equipment (fittings, safety devices, …).
- Conduct a pressure test under real operating conditions. Get an expert to perform the test and document the results.
When commissioning:
- Visual controls and compulsory tests must be carried out prior to the first commissioning and during daily commissioning.
- Avoid each operation that is causing safety risk.
- Only operate the system with functional protection and safety devices.
- Notify any damaged parts of system immediately to the responsible person.
- Protect the system from unintended or unauthorized use.
For cleaning / maintenance / repair / servicing:
- Cordon off the maintenance and repair area largely.
- Switch off electric and pneumatic supply and secure the system against unexpected switch-on during maintenance works(main supplies for electrical power and compressed air).
- Deaerate the pneumatic components completely.
- Do not use machine parts as access aids.
- Secure detached parts from falling down.
- Safety devices that have been removed for assembly, maintenance and repair works, must be remounted and checkedimmediately after termination of those works.
- Check cables and hoses for chafe marks and damage.
- Care for safe and environmentally sound emptying, collection and disposal of operating and auxiliary supplies.
- Observe the maintenance and inspection intervals specified in the maintenance instructions.
- Observe the statements in the operating/maintenance instructions for the replacement of components.
- Retighten and secure the bolted connections detached during maintenance works as prescribed.
- Replace mounting elements and seals that are no longer usable (e.g. self-locking nuts, washers, splints, O-rings, seals, gluedor micro-encapsulated screws).
- Cleaned, wiped-off or removed lubricated or greased spots must be relubricated as prescribed after termination of themaintenance and repair works.
