Personnel assigned to working with rail-guided handling equipment must have read
and understood the operating instructions and, in particular, the section on safety
information.
All activities relating to rail-guided handling equipment which are not described in
these operating instructions may only be carried out by specialist personnel
specifically trained for rail-guided handling equipment.
The owner must ensure that personnel work in a safety and hazard-conscious
manner in compliance with the operating instructions.
The owner must ensure that rail-guided handling equipment is only operated when
in proper working order and that all relevant safety requirements and regulations are
complied with.
Rail-guided handling equipment must be taken out of service immediately if func-
tional defects or irregularities are detected.
In the event of a stoppage (e.g. if defects regarding safe and reliable operation are
detected, in emergency situations, in the event of operating malfunctions, for repairs
and maintenance purposes, if damage is detected or after finishing work) the opera-
tor/experienced technician must carry out all prescribed safety measures (e.g. for
cranes operating outdoors, ensure wind drift safety catch is fitted) or observe that
they are automatically carried out.
Personal protective clothing must be worn
as necessary or as required by regulations.
Personnel must not wear loose clothing, jewellery including rings or long hair loose.
Injury may occur, for example, by being caught or drawn into the mechanism.
All safety and hazard warnings on rail-guided handling equipment, their access
routes and their mains connection switches must be preserved completely and in
legible condition.
Inching (i.e. giving short pulses to the motor) must always be avoided.
Emergency limit stop devices (e.g. slipping clutch or emergency limit switch) must
not be approached in normal operation.
Modifications, additions to and conversions of rail-guided handling equipment
which may impair safety in any way must not be carried out without the approval
of Demag. This also applies to the fitting and adjusting of safety devices as well as
for performing welds on load bearing parts.
Safety devices must not be rendered inoperative.
Only genuine Demag spare parts may be used.
Observe prescribed deadlines or those specified in the operating instructions for
routine checks/inspections.
For independent operation or maintenance of rail-guided handling equipment, the
owner may only employ persons
• who are at least 18 years of age,
• who are mentally and physically suitable,
• who have been instructed in the operation and maintenance of rail-guided han-
dling equipmentand have proven their qualification to the owner in this respect
(in addition to theoretical training, instruction also includes sufficient practical
operating experience as well as acquiring the ability to identify defects which are
a hazard to safe operation),
• who can be expected to carry out the work assigned to them reliably.
The owner must assign operating and maintenance personnel to their relevant
tasks.
