or certificate of professional standing, or by extensive knowledge, training, and
experience, has successfully demonstrated his/her ability to solve problems relating
to the subject matter and work.
Personnel to carry out work on the motor or brake must exclusively be qualified
personnel who - based upon their education, experience, instructions as well as
knowledge concerning relevant standards and provisions, accident prevention,
regulations and operating conditions - have been authorized by the person being
responsible for safety, to carry out the activities described in these instructions
and who - when doing so - are in a position to recognize possible risks early and to
avoid them.

NOTICE
High Voltage! Installation or maintenance work may only be performed
when no power is available to the motor. Electric motors, electrical
brakes, and variable frequency drives contain potentially dangerous
high-voltage. Shut down the power at the circuit breaker or power
switch. Employees servicing or maintaining VRCs may be exposed to
death or serious personal injury if hazardous energy is not properly
controlled. De-energize any circuit before work is begun. Do not touch live
components or power connections immediately aer disconnecting the device
from the voltage supply because some capacitors may still be charged. Adhere
to a minimum switch-o time of 10 minutes. Observe the corresponding labels
on the device. Follow your facilities procedures or OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO)
procedures anytime maintenance or service is being performed on any electrical
box or component.
Burn Hazard! Surfaces of motors and gear units may become hot
during operation or shortly aer start-up. In some instances additional
protection against accidental contact may be necessary. Use caution to
avoid burns or serious injury! Let the motor cool before work begins.
z Keep clear of unsupported platforms. Stay out of the area under a raised
platform. If a maintenance operation requires the carriage to remain in
the raised position, physically secure the carriage at the upper level using
adequately sized maintenance chains, maintenance pins, DeckLocks, or straps
with shackles around the drivebase that are capable of supporting the weight of
the carriage to provide additional safety.
Voltage to the brake must be applied and removed at the same time as the power to
the motor.
