16 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 and long sleeves, etc. Some parts have sharp edges.
•
Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the
dimension drawings.
•
Incorrect lifting can cause danger or damage. Obey the local laws and regulations
applicable to lifting, such as requirements for planning the lift, for capacity and condition
of lifting equipment, and for training of personnel.
•
The lifting bars attached to large drive cabinets are heavy. Be careful when removing
or reinstalling the bars. Whenever possible, use a lifting device attached to the
designated lifting points.
•
Attach 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. Attach the cabinet also to the wall when necessary.
•
Do not stand or walk on the cabinet roof. Make sure that nothing presses against the
roof, side or back plates or door. Do not store anything on the roof while the drive is in
operation.
•
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.
