6 General safety instructions
6.1 Operator’s duty of care
CAUTION!
The round-belt conveyor has been constructed based on a risk analysis and after careful
selection of the applicable harmonised standards as well as additional technical specifica-
tions. It is therefore state-of-the-art and provides maximum safety.
However, safety can only be guaranteed during operation if all necessary measures are
taken. The operator of the machine has an obligation of care to ensure that these
measures are planned for and also to check that they are correctly implemented.
After installation, commissioning and handing over of the round-belt conveyor to the cus-
tomer/operator, no modifications may be made (e.g. electrical system or location). Modifi-
cations to the round-belt conveyor, and in particular technical modifications carried out
without the manufacturer’s written authorisation, or any modifications carried out by unau-
thorised persons, will lead to the complete loss of any guarantee claims and will invalidate
any liability for the product.
CAUTION!
The operator must ensure in particular that...
... the round-band conveyor is only used as intended.
In case of other use or operation, damage or risks may arise for which we accept no liability
(see the section on "intended use").
… in order to guarantee functionality and safety, use only original parts supplied by the
manufacturer when needed.
Any potential claims by the user shall be rendered void if the device was altered using
parts other than original spare parts.
CAUTION!
... only appropriately qualified and authorised employees may use, maintain and repair the
installation.
CAUTION!
… personnel is regularly trained in all questions relating to occupational safety and envi-
ronmental protection and, in particular, the staff is familiar with the operating instructions
as well as the safety instructions that they contain.
