– The following regulations and guidelines
must be observed during transport, installa-
tion and operation of the equipment:
Regulations of the local electricity
provider; national regulations and guide-
lines, accident prevention regulations;
provisions of the machines.
– The continuous sound pressure level when
the system is in use is approximately 60 to
70 dB (A).
Reverberations at the place of installation
may increase the noise level at the work-
station. If the noise level exceeds 75 dB
(A), we recommend providing hearing
protection for operating personnel.
– All spare parts must meet the technical
requirements imposed by the manufacturer.
– Observe all national regulations on the
facilities provided for reporting and
fighting fires.
– The machine/system may be operated
only under safe and functional conditions.
Make sure all protective features and
safety-related facilities, such as detachable
protective equipment or emergency exit
facilities, are available and functioning.
– Prevent the risk of stumbling or tripping
during operation, repair or maintenance
of the machine/system, as the machine/
system presents a heightened risk of injury.
Safety Instructions for the User
– Before turning on the machine/system,
make sure no one can be injured or endan-
gered by the system as it starts up.
– Only reliable personnel who have been
explicitly authorized for the purpose are
permitted to work with or near the
machine/system.
– Personnel in training, under instruction,
or taking part in educational measures are
not permitted to perform any actions on
the system unless supervised by an experi-
enced operator.
– Operating personal are not permitted to
wear jewelry (including rings) or loose
clothing; hair must be bound/protected.
If anything is caught in the rollers that
move the conveyor belt, injury could result.
Do not practice or permit any work meth-
ods which could raise safety concerns.
– Protective clothing must be worn insofar
as this is required by working conditions or
regulations.
– All personnel trained in the use of this
equipment must understand and be aware
of the significance and function of the
emergency shutoff system and detachable
protective equipment. Make sure the emer-
gency shutoff system is accessible at all
times. Operating personnel must also be
familiar with the location and operation
of the fire extinguisher.
– Inspect the machine/system at least once
per shift for visible signs of defects or
damage. Report any changes (including in
operation) to the responsible person or
office immediately. If safe operation is no
longer assured, shut down the system imme-
diately, disconnected it from power and
ensure that it cannot be switched on again.

– Inform operating personnel before any
work is performed on the equipment,
including maintenance and service work.
Safety Instructions for Maintenance
Personnel
– Switch off the machine/system before per-
forming any maintenance or service work.
Make sure it cannot be switched on again
while such work is being performed. Affix
warning notices to ensure that no one
attempts to switch on the equipment. Test
for voltage in the equipment before begin-
ning work. Use only tools that are isolated
against electrical charge.
– Block off a wide area around the equip-
ment before beginning work by putting up
a red and white security tape with
a warning sign.
– Work on the electrical parts inside the
machine/system must be performed by
a trained electrician, or a person with
appropriate training working under the
direct supervision of a trained electrician,
and must be carried out in accordance
with the applicable rules and regulations
pertaining to electrical equipment. If it is
necessary to work on parts that carry elec-
trical charge, make sure a second person is
present who can activate the emergency
shutoff if necessary.
– Make sure to tighten any screws that were
loosened during maintenance or service
work.
– If it is necessary to disassemble safety fea-
tures during maintenance or repair work,
these features must be reassembled and
tested immediately following the comple-
tion of such work.
– When performing installation work higher
than face level, use stepladders and raised
platforms made for this purpose or other
suitable equipment. Do not stand on the
machine or machine parts. When perform-
ing work at greater heights, wear a protec-
tive harness to prevent falls. Keep all han-
dles, ladders, stepladders, guard rails,
pedestals and platforms clean at all times.
– Remove any oil, dirt or cleaning agents
from all connections and screw fittings on
the machine/system before beginning
maintenance/repair work. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents. Use lint-free
cloths. Before cleaning the equipment,
cover or seal all openings through which
the penetration of water, steam or cleaning
agents would impair safety functions.
Electric motors, plug connections, switches
and control cabinets are at particular risk
in this respect. Make sure the IP protection
remains intact.
– Parts and subassemblies must be securely
fastened to hoisting devices when removing
them for replacement, to prevent safety
hazards. Use only suitable and technologi-
cally faultless hoisting equipment as well
as load receptacles with sufficient load-
bearing capacity. Do not work underneath
suspended loads.
Safety Instructions regarding
the Pneumatics
– Work on pneumatic equipment must be
performed by technicians with specialized
knowledge and experience of such equip-
ment.
– Before disconnecting any pneumatic
connections, make sure there is no pres-
sure within the system or system section.
In particular, make sure plug connections
are not under pressure before unplugging
or disconnecting them.
– Compressed air pipelines must be installed
in accordance with industry standards.
Fittings, length and quality of pipelines
and tubing must meet the applicable
requirements.
– After cleaning the equipment, check all
cable and pipeline connections for leak-
age, loose connections, chafe marks, and
damage. Make sure screw fittings that
were opened during maintenance work
are closed tightly and any container lids,
sieves or filters that were removed are
reinstalled. Fix any defects immediately.
– Before putting the equipment back into
operation, all tools, materials and other
items used during maintenance or repair
work must be removed from the area
around the system.
– Make sure all the safety features of the
system are functioning correctly.
Safety Instructions regarding the Place
of Installation
– Tasks such as rigging up loads and pro-
viding guidance for crane operators or
drivers of elevating platform trucks or
industrial trucks, should be performed by
experienced persons only. The person
guiding the equipment operator must be
in the operator's line of sight or range
of hearing.
– Use only suitable transport vehicles with
sufficient load-bearing capacity. Secure
the load reliably. Use only the suspension
points specified in the operating instruc-
tions for attaching the equipment to
hoisting devices and observe standard
industry practices when lifting the equip-
ment.
– Any parts that are removed for transport
must be carefully reinstalled and firmly
attached before putting the equipment
back into operation.
– Disconnect all leads before changing the
place of installation. Reconnect the leads
when putting the equipment back into
operation. Always proceed in accordance
with the operating instructions when put-
ting the equipment back into operation.
