Safety measure required
After completing repair work, always check to see whether any tools, loose
parts or cloths have been left in or on the machine, driving engine or driving
equipment.
After the work has been completed, replace any protective devices that have
been removed. Operation without protective devices is not permissible.
Always re-tighten screwed connections which were loosened for maintenance
and repair work.
Machines performing rotating movements have to be cycled several times in
order to ensure that there are no mechanical faults in the machine or the drive
member.
Before releasing the power unit for operation after maintenance or overhaul,
check that the operating pressures, temperatures and time settings are
correct and that the regulating and shutdown equipment function properly.
