Safety
Responsibility of the owner
In addition to the safety instructions
contained in these Operating Instruc-
tions, the safety, accident prevention
and environmental protection regula-
tions applicable to the field of applica-
tion of the device must be observed.
In particular, this includes:
n The owner must inform himself
regarding the valid health and
safety regulations and must carry
out a risk assessment to addition-
ally determine the risks resulting
from the special work conditions
arising at the location at which the
device is used, especially in regard
to the media used. He must then
implement these within Operating
Instructions for use of the device.
n The "Occupational Health and
Safety Act" of 1970 stipulates that
it is the duty of the owner to pro-
vide a safe workplace. He must
hereby ensure that the device is
operated and maintained com-
pliant to valid commercial, indus-
trial, local, federal and state laws,
standards and regulations.
n Appropriate to the working condi-
tions and the media used, the
owner must affix signs within the
working area that inform the user
of the hazards and dangers
present.
During the entire period of use of
n
the device, the owner must check
periodically to ensure that the
Operating Instructions correspond
to the current state of regulations,
and he must make adjustments as
necessary.

n The owner must clearly regulate
and determine responsibilities for
installation, operation, trouble-
shooting, maintenance and
cleaning.
n The owner must fit/retrofit suitable
safety equipment within the com-
plete plant/system.
n The owner must ensure that all
staff/personnel have thoroughly
read and understand these instruc-
tions before handling the device.
Additionally, he must train the per-
sonnel at regular intervals and
warn them of dangers.
The owner must provide the per-
n
sonnel with the required safety
equipment and must instruct them
that its wear is mandatory.
Additionally, the owner is responsible
for ensuring that the device is always
kept in a technically perfect condition.
The following therefore applies:
n The owner must implement suit-
able safety measures, appropriate
to the media used.
Different media have different
n
severities of influence on the
soiling and wear of/to the device.
The owner must set suitable main-
tenance intervals, depending on
the media flowing through the
device.
