Safety

2.1

General

The "Safety" chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for optimum protection of personnel as
well as safe and trouble-free operation.
When it is placed on the market, the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive is built according to generally accepted
engineering standards and is considered to be safe to operate. It may may still be a cause of danger if it is not
used correctly or as intended by suitably trained personnel.
Knowledge of the contents of the assembly instructions is one of the requirements necessary to protect personnel
from hazards and to avoid malfunctions and, therefore, to operate the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive safely
and reliably.
Any conversions, modifications or additions to the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive are prohibited unless ap‐
proved by Demag in writing.

Intended use

The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive may only be used as intended and in compliance with the requirements
for the owner and the following limitations as specified in these assembly instructions. Any other use may result in
a danger to life and limb and/or cause damage to the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive and/or load.
● The support superstructure for the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive must be designed to accommodate
loads resulting from operation of the hoist unit. The maximum safe working load is the load capacity specified
on the capacity plate. This must not be exceeded. The maximum permitted load includes the load and any load
handling attachment.
● The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive may only be installed, used, operated, maintained and removed by
trained personnel when it is in perfect working order. Personnel must meet the requirements according to
 "Operating personnel requirements", Page 11.
● Intended use includes compliance with the safety instructions as well as any other instructions on assembly
and disassembly, commissioning, function and operation, maintenance and fault elimination as well as compli‐
ance with the instructions on the installation safety devices, any possible remaining hazards and protection
against hazards.
● The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive may only be used subject to the permissible technical data,  "Techni‐
cal data", Page 12.
● The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive must be maintained regularly and appropriately by trained personnel in
line with the specified deadlines and checked according to  "Maintenance schedule", Page 39. Wearing
parts must be replaced in good time.
● UVV/BGV D8, Section 23 (2) and BGV D6 (1) guidelines must be not be ignored.
No liability for inappropriate use
The manufacturer is exempt from any liability for use other than the purpose which is technically possible and ac‐
ceptable according to these assembly instructions. In particular, the manufacturer assumes no liability for damage
due to inappropriate or any other prohibited use of the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive in the sense of the "In‐
tended use" section.
