General safety advice Illustration of safety advice The safety advice is identified by a symbol and a warning. The warn- ing describes the seriousness of the threatened danger. The individ- ual symbols have the following meaning: Danger! Immediate imminent danger to life and health of persons (severe injuries or death).
General safety advice Organising measures The operator must ensure the availability of the personal protective equipment, e.g.: · safety glasses · safety shoes · protective clothing · skin protecting agent, etc.. Important! The instruction manual · should always be kept at the place where the machine is operated.
General safety advice Training of the staff Only people who are trained and familiarised may operate with/on the machine. The responsibility of persons for operation and maintenance should clearly be prescribed. A trainee may only operate the machine under the supervision of a skilled person.
General safety advice Maintenance and repair, remedy of faults Carry out all prescribed setting-, maintenance and servicing work in due time. Secure all operating systems like compressed air and hydraulics against unintended starting. When exchanging larger components carefully affix them to the hoist- ing implement.
Spare parts and wearing parts and auxiliary parts Immediately exchange defective machine parts. Only use original -AMAZONE- spare- and wearing parts or the parts approved by Messrs AMAZONEN-WERKEN so that the operating permit remains valid according to the national and interna- tional regulations.
General safety advice 2.13 Safety symbols and other identifications on the machine Important! Always keep all safety symbols on the machine clean and in well readable condition! Replace not readable safety symbols. Ask your dealer for warning signs stating the relevant order number (e.g.
