1 Safety instructions
1.1 Symbols
The following symbols and recommendations indicate potential safety hazards or
causes of damage or provide useful information.
Hazard warning
This symbol appears in the assembly instructions next to all instructions relating to
safety at work wherever a potential hazard to life and limb exists if the instructions
are not complied with.
Follow these instructions at all times and be particularly vigilant and cautious.
Pass on safety instructions to all persons entrusted with working on the equipment
including the track and power supply.
In addition, observe all general safety regulations at all times.
Warning against dangerous electrical voltage
Contact with live parts can result in immediate death. Protective covers (e.g. covers
and enclosures) of electrical assemblies or those marked with this sign may only be
opened by qualified electricians. Before opening, all relevant operating, control, feed
or other voltages must be disconnected.
Warning against suspended load
Any person remaining in this danger zone may suffer serious injury or death.
Operating hazard for the installation
This symbol in the assembly instructions indicates all warnings which, if not com-
plied with, may result in damage to the rail-guided equipment or the load.
Rail-guided handling equipment is only intended for lifting and moving loads and
may be used as stationary or travelling units.
Rail-guided handling equipment may only be operated when in perfect working
order by trained personnel in accordance with the relevant safety and accident
prevention regulations. This also includes compliance with the operating and main-
tenance conditions specified in the assembly and operating instructions.
Rail-guided handling equipment is industrial equipment operated with a rated volt-
age of up to 1000 V from high-voltage supply systems.
Power feed is via power supply lines (mobile cables, open or enclosed power con-
ductor systems, cable drums). These systems lead up to the terminals of the main
switch (mains connection switch, isolating switch).
The relevant isolating switches must be switched off and secured when performing
maintenance/repair work. During operation or when the main switch is not switched
off, electrical components inside enclosures, motors, switchgear cabinets, terminal
boxes, etc., carry dangerous voltages.
Serious personal injury or damage to property may occur in the event of:
• unauthorized removal of covers,
• inappropriate use of rail-guided handling equipment
• incorrect operation
• insufficient maintenance,
• exceeding the maximum permitted load (The rated load capacity/S.W.L. is the
maximum permitted load. Pay attention to the sum of the load to be lifted and
the load handling attachment.)
• Working on live parts.
