Safety instructions for operation

WARNING
Incorrect operation
Risk of injury due to incorrect operation.
Incorrect operation may result in severe injury or damage to property. The equipment may only be operated by
authorised and instructed personnel in compliance with all accident-prevention and safety regulations. National
regulations for the use of cranes and lifting appliances must be observed and followed.
– The owner must arrange for operating personnel to be trained.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Risk of burns from contact when the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive is in operation.
Do not touch hot motor housings.
WARNING
Non-compliance with operating regulations/industrial safety regulations
Danger to life and limb if relevant regulations are disregarded.
Machinery may only be operated in compliance with relevant national operating regulations, e.g. BGV D6 for
cranes in Germany.
– If required, apply a copy of the relevant operating regulations, part no. 214 748 44, at a suitable place
where operators can read them at any time (e.g. at the mains connection switch).
The installation must not be put into operation or must be taken out of service immediately if any defects or irregu‐
larities relating to operating safety and reliability or function are detected.
Safety devices must not be rendered inoperative or modified contrary to their intended use.
Ensuring safe operation
Special local conditions or special applications may lead to situations which were not known when this chapter
was written. In this case, the owner must ensure safe operation or take the installation out of service until meas‐
ures for safe operation have been clarified and implemented in agreement with Demag or other relevant bodies.
In the event of a stoppage (e.g. if defects regarding safe and reliable operation are detected, in emergency situa‐
tions, in the event of operating malfunctions, for repairs and maintenance purposes, if damage is detected or after
finishing work), the operator must carry out all prescribed safety measures or observe that they are automatically
carried out.
Work on electric equipment may only be carried out by qualified electricians.

Switching on

7.2.1

Checks when starting work

Before starting work, the operator must be satisfied that the installation is in safe and correct operating condition.
Ensure that nobody is endangered by operation of the installation before switching it on or putting it into operation.
If the operator notices persons who may be exposed to a risk to their health or personal safety by operation of the
installation, he must stop operation immediately and may not resume operation until the persons are outside the
danger zone.
If there are any defects which endanger safe and reliable operation, the installation must be taken out of service
without delay. Defects relevant to safety in this sense are, for example:
● Damage to electric devices, cables or insulation,
● Delayed operation or failure of brakes and safety devices,
● Missing covers or housing parts or
● Damage to load-bearing parts.
