SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General risks The following section describes residual risks that arise even if the device is used as intended. Observe the safety instructions listed here in the other sections of these instructions to reduce the risk of injuries or dam- age to property and equipment and to avoid dangerous situations.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Cover adjacent, live parts or isolate them Before starting work, check whether it is appropriate to make adjacent parts voltage-free. DANGER! Danger of life due to electrical current! Contact with live parts can result in life-threating injuries. ► Make sure that the components are not live or in tension unauthorized approxima- tion.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personnel requirements 2.5.1 Qualifications The tasks described in this manual present various requirements to the qualifications of the persons perform- ing them. WARNING! Hazard in case of insufficient qualification of personnel! Insufficiently qualified persons are unable to judge the risks when working on the sys- tem, which puts them and others at risk if severe or fatal injuries.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Personal protective equipment Every person who is instructed to work on the system or in the vicinity of the system (support personnel) must wear personal protective clothing/equipment for the suitable type of their work. Personal protective equipment has the purpose of protecting personnel against hazards to their health and safety at work. The owner is re- sponsible to ensure that protective equipment is worn.

In places where waiting times occur for operational reasons, battery charging stations can be installed (e.g. in buffer sections, reversal points, stops, etc). Optimal spatial integration of the charging station into the overall system is an important aspect. VAHLE has developed special battery charging contacts to meet these require- ments.
