1.1 Important information
This manual is intended to help you operate this machine safely and effectively. It
is intended for use by people who have followed the training programme that this
manual accompanies. If you have not followed this programme, but would like to
do so, contact your supervisor or training manager. For details of training given by
GEA, refer to ‘Further help and information’ later in this chapter.
This machine was designed with safety in mind, and includes features to help pre-
vent injury and damage. However, all powerful machines can be dangerous if mis-
used. This manual is intended to help you operate the machine in a safe manner.
In this manual, the user is the body with authority over and responsibility for the
machine - usually a company or a corporation. An operator is a person who phys-
ically interacts with the machine and/or the machine's control systems under the
direction and with the consent of the machine's user. In GEA manuals, an operator
includes a person who cleans the machine.
It is your responsibility to operate this machine in accordance with all the safety
instructions and procedures in this manual, and with all other safety procedures in
your workplace. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that the machine is cor-
rectly installed, configured, commissioned, operated, serviced and maintained
and that such actions are only carried out by people who have been fully and prop-
erly trained for those tasks. It is also the user's responsibility to make sure that the
machine is only used in full accordance with laws - and regulations, which have
the force of law - in the jurisdiction in which the machine is installed.
Warning!
Before attempting to use the machine, read, understand and know all the
safety information in this chapter. Pay particular attention to all warnings
and cautions throughout this manual. If you do not follow all the warnings
and procedures in this manual, this could lead to serious injury to your-
self or others, including death.
If there is any safety instruction or procedure that you do not understand,
do not use the machine. Contact your supervisor and arrange proper
training on the use of the machine. Use of the machine without under-
standing and following all the safety instructions and procedures in this
manual could lead to serious injury to yourself or others, including death.
Warning!
Do not use the machine until you are sure that the routine checks described
have been completed and that the routine preventive maintenance pro-
gramme is up-to-date. If any part of the machine is known (or suspected) to
be defective or wrongly adjusted, do not use the machine until a repair has
been made. Operation of the machine with defective or wrongly adjusted
components could create safety hazards. This could lead to fatal or other
serious personal injury.
