3.0 SAFETY INFORMATION
3.1 SAFETY STANDARDS
• Carefully read the instructions given in this manual and those posted directly on the gear unit,
especially those regarding safety.
• Persons charged with working on the gear unit at any time in its service life must be trained spe-
cically for the purpose with special abilities and experience in the area as well as being equipped
with the appropriate tools and individual safety equipment (as per Legislative Decree 626/94).
Failure to meet these requirements constitutes a risk to personal health and safety.
• The gear unit must only be used for the applications permitted by the Manufacturer. Improper
use can result in risks to personal health and safety and economic damages.
The applications permitted by the Manufacturer are the industrial applications for which the gear
units have been designed.
• Keep the gear unit at its maximum efciency by following the routine maintenance schedule.
Good maintenance ensures the unit’s maximum performance, extended service life and continued
compliance with safety regulations.
• When working on the unit in areas which are difcult to access or hazardous, ensure that ade-
quate safety precautions have been taken for the operator and others in compliance with estab-
lished legislation on health and safety at work.
• All maintenance, inspection and repairs must only be carried out by an expert maintenance
technician fully familiar with the attendant hazards. It is therefore essential to implement operating
procedures that address potential hazards and their prevention for the entire machine. The expert
maintenance technician must always work with caution in observance of applicable safety stand-
ards.
• During operation wear only the apparel and safety equipment indicated in the User Instructions
provided by the Manufacturer or stipulated by legislation on safety at work.
• Replace worn components with original spare parts. Use the lubricants (oil and grease) recom-
mended by the Manufacturer.
• Do not dump polluting materials into the environment. Dispose of all such materials as stipulated
by applicable legislation.
• After replacing lubricants clean the gear unit’s surfaces and the walk-on surfaces around the
work area.
If the gear unit is to be serviced in a potentially explosive atmosphere, the operator must rst
switch off power to the gear unit and ensure that it is out of service, as well as taking all necessary
precautions against it being accidentally switched on again or its parts moving without warning.
Furthermore, all additional environmental safety precautions must be taken (e.g. elimination of
residual gas or dust, etc).
