General Safety Instructions
Duties of the owner-operator
Adhere to national accident prevention prescriptions and the operator's work,
operating and safety prescriptions.
Adhere to all of the crane manufacturer's safety prescriptions.
The scale must only be used for the intended purpose. Any type of use which is not
described in these operating instructions is regarded as improper use. The owner
takes full responsibility for material damage and personal injury which is a result of
such improper use. KERN & Sohn take no responsibility whatsoever.
KERN & Sohn cannot be made liable, if the crane scale is altered or used
improperly, and if damage occurs because of this.
You must service and maintain the crane scale, crane and load support regularly
(see chapter 10).
Record test results and keep in test book.
Organizational measures
Only trained and instructed persons may operate the appliance.
Make sure that the instruction manual is always available on the installation site of
the crane.
Have installation, commissioning, maintenance and repairs carried out by specially
trained personnel only.
Repairs must only be carried by service partners authorised by KERN.
Only use original replacement parts.
All repairs and replacement parts must be documented by the service partner (see
list, chapter 11.3).
All service work must be documented (see checklist, chapter 10.2).
Environmental conditions
Never operate the crane scale in explosion hazard areas. The standard model is not
explosion-proof.
Crane scales must only be installed in the conditions as described in these operating
instructions (see chapter 1, "Technical Specifications").
Do not expose the crane scale to high levels of humidity. Unauthorised levels of
condensation (condensation of air moisture on the equipment) can occur, if a cold
unit is moved to a significantly warmer environment. In this situation, acclimatise the
unit for approximately 2 hours at room temperature. Make sure the equipment is not
connected to the mains at that time.
Do not use the crane scale in a corrosive atmosphere.
Protect the crane scale from high levels of air humidity, vapours, liquids and dust;
