1.2.9 Maintenance
According to Operational Safety Regulations „Betriebssicherheitsver-
ordnung - BetrSichV“ (§ 3 and § 4 etc.) the operator has to ensure a
regular inspection of the working media. In this way possible safety rele-
vant malfunctions should be determined systematically and removed.
According to „Berufsgenossenschaftliche Regeln für Sicherheit und Ge-
sundheit bei der Arbeit“ (BGR 500 chapter 2.10 - Operation of Aerial
Platforms - ) the operator of the hydraulic aerial platforms must let the
machine check at least once a year by an expert. The results of these
expert inspections must be kept in writing.
We recommend to contact our RUTHMANN-Service due to necessary
special knowledge necessary for such expert inspections.
Additional inspections by an expert become necessary after modifica-
tions and after substantial repair work at carrying parts.
Only suitable persons with a knowledge of the subject may be engaged
with the maintenance and repair jobs. We recommend our Ruthmann-
after-sales-service.
