1.1 General safety instructions
• Putting the products into operation or operating them
without having read the instructions is prohibited. The
operator must ensure that the instructions are read and
understood by all persons tasked with working on the
product or who supervise or instruct such persons.
Retain the instructions for further use.
• The product may only be used in awareness of the
potential dangers, in proper technical condition, and
according to the information in this manual.
• Any faults that could affect safety must be remedied
according to responsibility. The supervisor must be
notified immediately in case of malfunctions outside
one's individual scope of responsibility.
• Unauthorized modifications and changes can have an
unpredictable effect on safety and operation.
Unauthorized modifications and changes are therefore
prohibited. Only original SKF spare parts and SKF
accessories may be used.
• Any unclear points regarding proper condition or
correct assembly/operation must be clarified.
Operation is prohibited until issues have been clarified.
• The components used must be suitable for the
intended use and the applicable operating conditions,
e.g. max. operating pressure and ambient temperature
range, and must not be subjected to torsion, shear, or
bending.
1.2 General electrical safety
instructions
• Electrical devices must be kept in proper condition.
This must be ensured by periodic inspections in
accordance with the relevant applicable standards and
technical rules. The type, frequency, and scope of the
inspections must be determined in accordance with the
risk assessment to be carried out by the operator. Work
on electrical components may be performed only by
qualified electricians. Connect the electrical power only
in accordance with the valid terminal diagram and in
observance of the relevant regulations and the local
electrical supply conditions.
• Work on electrical components may be performed only
in a voltage-free state and using tools suitable for
electrical work. Do not touch cables or electrical
components with wet or moist hands.
• Fuses must not be bridged. Always replace defective
fuses with fuses of the same type.
• Ensure proper connection of the protective conductor
for products with protection class I. Observe the
specified enclosure rating.
• The operator must implement appropriate measures to
protect vulnerable electrical devices from the effects of
lightning during use. The electrical device is not
furnished with a grounding system for the dissipation
of the respective electric charge and does not have the
voltage strength necessary to withstand the effects of
lightning.
