No liability for structural modifications
The manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorised structural modifications which have not been agreed with him.
This includes incorrect connection of the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive to devices or equipment that do not
belong to our scope of delivery, or the installation or use of third-party accessories, equipment or sub-assemblies
that are not approved by the manufacturer.
Depending on the type and scope of the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive, it may be necessary to have an in‐
spection carried out by an expert engineer before it is handed over to the owner.

Hazards that can be caused by the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive

The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive has been subjected to a risk assessment. The design and execution
based on this analysis corresponds to state-of-the-art engineering principles. However, residual risks remain.
The DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive operates with high electric voltage.
DANGER
Live components
Danger to life and limb.
Electric energy may cause very severe injuries. Danger of death caused by electric current if the insulation or
individual components are damaged.
– Switch the machine off and secure it against restoration of the power supply before any maintenance,
cleaning or repair work is carried out.
– Switch the power supply off before any work is carried out on the electric equipment. Check to ensure that
the components to be replaced are de-energised.
– Do not remove any safety equipment or render it inoperative by modifications.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
There is a risk of injury due to parts of the body being crushed/sheared or clothing or hair becoming entangled.
Protection must be provided if the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive is suspended at a height within normal
reach.
WARNING
Suspended load. Falling parts.
Danger to life and limb from falling parts.
The track ends must be provided with elastic buffers.
WARNING
Danger to life and limb if the operating and maintenance instructions are not followed.
Required tests and inspections must be carried out.
In the course of the annual inspection, the trolley must be checked for:
– deformation or cracks,
– chipping or wear of the travel wheels,
– completeness of all parts,
– correct adjustment of the DRF 200 friction wheel travel drive.
Certain work and practices are prohibited when using the machine as they may involve danger to life and limb
and result in lasting damage to the machine. Observe the safety instructions in the sections:
