6.2 Basic safety measures
6.2.1 Basic safety measures during normal operation
CAUTION!
The installation may only be operated by trained and authorised persons who are familiar
with the operating instructions and who are capable of working in accordance with them!
As there is a risk of becoming caught by the transport belt and/or washware during
transport, operating personnel must wear close-fitting clothes and avoid wearing rings,
bracelets or similar. We also recommend wearing safety shoes with steel toe caps.
Ensure the following before switching on the installation:
 Only authorised persons are present in the installation’s operating area.
 Nobody could be injured by starting of the installation!
Before every commissioning
 Inspect the machine for any visible damage and ensure that it is only operated
in perfect working condition.
 Report any defects to the supervisor immediately.
 Remove any material/objects from the operating area that
are not required for the operation of the installation.
 Check and ensure that all safety systems are operating
perfectly.
6.2.2 Basic safety measures before each notification acknowledg-
ment
CAUTION!
Before cancelling a notification, the cause for it must be remedied. Only after this has
taken place may "acknowledgment key 8.2.3 item 3" be activated. If this sequence is not
followed, the system may crash.
6.2.3 Basic safety measures during maintenance and
repair
CAUTION!
Observe the maintenance intervals prescribed in the operating instructions.
Observe the maintenance instructions for the individual components in these operating
instructions.
Block access for unauthorised persons to the operating area of the installation before
starting maintenance or repair work. Display a sign drawing attention to the maintenance
or repair work.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work, switch off the electricity supply at the
main power switch and secure the switch with a padlock. The key to this lock must be
looked after by the person carrying out the maintenance or repair work. Failure to observe
these precautions may result in serious bodily injury or damage to property.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work, ensure that all the parts of the ma-
chine that may be touched have cooled down to room temperature.
Environmentally hazardous lubricants, coolants or cleaning agents must be disposed of
correctly.
