2.5 Safety instructions for servicing, maintenance and
troubleshooting
Before they start work, operating personnel must be informed about
how to carry out special tasks and maintenance tasks.
Deadlines that are stipulated or stated in the operating manual for
recurring tests/inspections must be adhered to.
The maintenance area must be cordoned off as extensively as
required!
Fundamentally, before any maintenance work on the machine
− Unload,
− turn off the main switch.
All servicing and maintenance tasks are only permitted with the
master switch turned off or with the mains plug disconnected.
Manual intervention while the machine is running can lead to serious
injury and is therefore prohibited. If it is necessary to turn the machine
on during such work, then this must only be done while complying with
special safety measures.
For further instructions on servicing / servicing intervals /
maintenance, refer to Chapters 8 and 9.
If the machine has been completely shut down for these tasks, it must
be secured against switching on unintentionally:
• Activate the Emergency STOP button,
• Lock the main switch using a shackle lock and
• attach a warning sign to the switch box (main switch).
Any faults that could impair safety must be rectified immediately.
Workshop equipment suitable for the specific tasks is imperative for
carrying out servicing and maintenance tasks. When carrying out
maintenance tasks at greater height, a fall-protection device must be
worn! Keep all handles, railings and the load platform free from dirt and
contamination.
When working under the load platform, secure it using appropriate
means (e.g. bolts, mast clamps, etc.)
Before starting servicing/repair tasks clean the machine, in particular
connections and screw connections, from oil, operating fluids,
contamination and maintenance products. Abrasive cleaning agents
must not be used. Loosened screw connections during servicing and
maintenance tasks must always be tightened using the necessary
torques!
Do not change, remove, bypass or bridge safety devices.
