Putting into service for the first time

6.1

Safety instructions when putting into service for the first time

The machine may only be handed over when its safety has been verified by means of a corresponding check
 "Checks on entering service, handover", Page 54.
WARNING
Safe operation of the machine is not yet ensured when it is first put into operation.
Machines may only be put into service if they have been installed/assembled according to the assembly instruc‐
tions.
– Machines may only be put into operation by qualified personnel.
– Check installation/operation of the safety devices before commissioning.
– Check to ensure that the mains voltage and frequency match the details specified on the rating plate.
– Move the trolleys by hand and check that they can be moved without resistance by hand over the entire
length of the track section (if fitted).
– Ensure sufficient working clearance before starting assembly work.
– Secure and fence off the working and danger zone.
– Wear protective equipment.
Only trained personnel may be employed when the installation is first put into operation since:
● it may be necessary to render safety devices or features inoperative when adjustments or function checks are
carried out,
● work may need to be performed in the danger zone when the installation is first put into operation.

Inspection regulations

WARNING
Non-compliance with operating and maintenance regulations
Danger to life and limb.
Compliance with all inspection regulations is an essential aspect of ensuring safe operation of the machine.
Required tests and inspections must be carried out.
All inspections must be arranged and documented by the owner at the specified intervals/points of time.
– Inspection in accordance with relevant national regulations, e.g. UVV/BGV D6 for cranes; UVV/BGV D8 for
winches, hoists and towing devices in Germany.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that power-driven chain hoists are inspected by an expert engineer
before they are first put into service and before they are put into service again after major modifications
have been carried out. This also applies to manually operated or semi-powered chain hoists that have a
load capacity of more than 1000 kg.
– Adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and inspection deadlines including specifications con‐
cerning the replacement of parts/assemblies prescribed in the operating instructions must be observed.

Please refer to  "Noise emission/sound pressure level", Page 25 for sound pressure level measurement
values to DIN 45 635.
This work may only be carried out by specialist personnel.
