Safety instructions when putting into service for the first time

WARNING
Safe operation of the installation is not yet ensured when it is first put into operation.
The installation may only be put into operation if it has been installed/assembled according to the assembly in‐
structions.
– Machines may only be put into operation by qualified personnel.
– Check installation/operation of the safety devices before commissioning.
– Check to ensure that the mains voltage and frequency match the details specified on the rating plate.
– Move the trolleys by hand and check that they can be moved without resistance by hand over the entire
length of the track section (if fitted).
– Ensure sufficient working clearance before starting assembly work.
– Secure and fence off the working and danger zone.
– Wear protective equipment.
Only trained personnel may be employed when the installation is first put into operation since:
● it may be necessary to render safety devices or features inoperative when adjustments or function checks are
carried out,
● work may need to be performed in the danger zone when the installation is first put into operation.
6.2

Inspection regulations

WARNING
Non-compliance with operating and maintenance regulations
Danger to life and limb.
Compliance with all inspection regulations is essential to ensure safe operation of the installation.
Required tests and inspections must be carried out.
All inspections must be arranged and documented by the owner at the specified intervals/points of time.
– Inspection in accordance with relevant national regulations, e.g. UVV/BGV D6 for cranes; UVV/BGV D8 for
winches, hoists and towing devices in Germany.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that power-driven hoists are inspected by an expert engineer before
they are first put into service and before they are put into service again after major modifications have been
carried out. This also applies to manually operated or semi-powered hoists that have a load capacity of
more than 1000 kg.
– Adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and inspection deadlines including specifications con‐
cerning the replacement of parts/assemblies prescribed in the assembly instructions must be observed.
This work may only be carried out by specialist personnel.
