14 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance

These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the drive from
dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe cap, safety
glasses, protective gloves, etc.
• Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the dimension
drawings.
• Secure the drive cabinet to the floor to prevent it from toppling over. The cabinet has a
high center of gravity. When you pull out heavy components or power modules, there
is a risk of overturning. Secure the cabinet also to the wall when necessary.
• Be careful when handling a tall module. The module overturns easily because it is heavy
and has a high center of gravity. Whenever possible, secure the module with chains.
Do not leave an unsupported module unattended especially on a sloping floor.
• Frames R10 and R11: Do not use the module installation ramp with plinth heights which
exceeds the maximum allowed height. See the technical data.
• Frames R10 and R11: Secure the module extraction/installation ramp carefully.
