Instructions for repair work in the course of operation
The danger zone must be marked off with red/white safety chains or safety tape
and indicated with warning signs.
In each individual case, the owner or the person specified by him must check
whether the relevant work may be carried out in the course of operation without risk
of personal injury owing to the particular local conditions.
Use only calibrated and appropriate tools and auxiliary materials for maintenance,
inspection and repair work, in order to avoid injury.
If there is a risk of objects falling, the danger zone must be made safe.
Maintain a sufficient safety distance to rotating parts to prevent clothing, parts of
the body or hair becoming entangled.
Avoid naked flames, extreme heat and sparks in the vicinity of cleaning agents and
flammable parts or parts liable to deformation (e.g. wood, plastic parts, oil, grease)
in electrical installations – non-compliance may result in fire hazard. Harmful gases
may evolve or insulation may be damaged.
Additional instructions for repair work on electrical equipment
Only genuine fuse links with specified amperage and tripping characteristics may be
used.
Defective fuse links must not be repaired or bridged and must only be replaced by
fuse links of the same type.
Switch off rail-guided handling equipment immediately in the event of electrical
power supply malfunctions.
Work on the electronic and electrical components or equipment may only be car-
ried out by qualified electricians.
If inspection, maintenance and repair work is to be carried out on parts, these must
– if prescribed by regulations – be isolated. First verify the safe isolation of the parts
from the supply before commencing work.
The electrical equipment of rail-guided handling equipment must be inspected and
checked at regular intervals. Defects, such as loose connections, damaged cables
and worn contactor contacts must be rectified immediately.
Electrical equipment must be replaced as a preventive measure on reaching the
limit of its service life.
If work has to be carried out on live parts, a second person must be available to
actuate the emergency-stop button or mains connection switch/isolating switch in
order to disconnect the power supply in an emergency. The second person must
be familiar with resuscitation measures.
Only use insulated tools.
Before disconnecting and connecting electrical plug-and-socket connections,
always disconnect them from the supply (this does not apply to mains connections,
provided they do not represent a dangerous contact voltage in the sense of the
safety regulations).
