1.13 Occupational Safety
By following the safety information and instructions provided
in this operating manual, injury to persons and damage to ma-
terials can be avoided during work on and with the equipment.
However, the following organizational measures must be
recorded in writing and complied with:
• Informational and reporting requirements (start, duration,
end of the work)
• Safety measures while carrying out the work, (e.g. replace-
ment lighting), deactivation of power supply and secure
against re-start (e.g. removal of fuses, actuator, notice
signs)
• Protective and safety devices for the personnel working
on the equipment
• Protective and safety equipment against hazards posed by
nearby equipment (e.g. safety screen, barriers, securing of
traffic routes)
When working on the system, the ESD protection must be
observed!
The working and safety regulations result from these assem-
bly and operating instructions as well as from the following
• the organisational measures of the plant management
(e.g. see above)
• and from the general and technical guidelines and regula-
tions for accident prevention.
1.14 Personal Protective Equipment
When working on and with the equipment the following
must be worn:
• Protective clothing
• Close fitting work clothing (low resistance to tearing, narrow

• Never lift loads over persons.
• Always move the device with extreme care and attention.
• Only use lifting tackle and hoisting equipment with suffici-
ent load-bearing capacity.
2.2 Transport over land, enclosed lead bat-
tery blocks
When transported over land, enclosed lead battery blocks
must be in an upright position. Under the regulations on
the transportation of hazardous goods over roadways (ADR)
and regulations on the transport of hazardous goods by rail
(RID), batteries that show no signs of damage are not trans-
ported as hazardous goods. They must be secured against
short-circuit, sliding, falling over and damage. Blocks may be
stacked in an appropriate manner, secured to pallets (ADR
or RID, Special Regulation 598). Pallets may not be stacked.
Blocks with reservoirs that are leaking or damaged must be
packaged and transported as Class 8 hazardous goods, UN
No. 2794.
