S AFETY FOR H ANDLING OF S NOWMAKERS
Additional safety instructions:
• A snowmaking installation may not be operated by one person alone. In case of
an accident, another person must be available to organize rescue or recovery.
• Wear functional clothing and avoid loose ribbons, scarves, etc. Such parts can
easily enter into the suction area of the fan and cause injury.
• Protect your eyes in case you remove ice from the nozzle ring or from suction-
protective grating of the fan.
• Place the machine in an area as level as possible, in order to ease the handling.
Pay attention to the maximum incline, in the extreme case the snowmaker can
tip over.
• For machines on tripods, extend the supporting feet
before placing them in the terrain. In the terrain, align the
base frame with the supporting feet horizontally.
Attention! There are only 2 positions:
TRANSPORT POSITION = supporting feet retracted,
SNOWING POSITION = supporting feet extended.
The bolt has to be plugged and secured again.
• For machines on wheels, extend the wheels before
placing them in the terrain. For transport with the carrying device the
snowmaker must be additionally secured with a chain to the blade of the
groomer. Secure the machine in the terrain with fixing jacks.
Protection of other persons:
Besides your own protection during the operation of the snowmaker, you should
also consider the protection of your guests:
• Transport the snowmaker only with vehicles appropriate for such purpose.
Before each transport, check the trailing device of the trailing vehicle as well as
the trailer coupling of the snowmaker. Ensure the proper function of the safety
catch at the trailing device. Additionally secure the machine with a chain during
transport.
• When placing the machine, make sure that it is visible for the skiers from a safe
distance. Consider the placement not only while the machine is operating but
also during standstill periods.
• Make sure that both the area around the machine and the area of the power and
water supply are safe during skiing time.
• Make sure that hoses and cables are not lying on the slope when skiers pass.
When crossed by the steel edges of the skis, they will inevitably be damaged.
