4. PRODUCT CONFORMITY AND LIABILITY
General
The VertiDrive V700 Series fulfills all relevant requirements to be used safely. To achieve this, important safety
instructions are described in this manual that must be followed throughout the whole lifecycle of the product.
See the EU Declaration of Conformity, appendix A to this document, for details on directives and standards used.
The original Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and the full Technical Construction File (TCF) are held at the
manufacturer's office in Rotterdam.
Intended and non-intended use of the machine
The VertiDrive V700 Series robot is a remote-controlled vehicle that uses powerful permanent magnets to adhere to
steel surfaces. This permanent adhesion allows operation on flat or slightly curved steel surfaces at any angle, e.g.,
vertically to, or underneath a horizontal surface (upside down). The robot is designed as a modular carrier for various
applications for surface treatment. The robot can ONLY be used on a magnetic surface such as steel as the reaction
force of the application can make the robot jump up otherwise.
The magnets will prevent this on a magnetic surface. The possibilities and limitations are shown in this document.
By intended use means that the operations on this system must be carried out following the instructions given in this
manual and the relevant application or other ancillary equipment manual(s). Tools and materials used for this
purpose must be applicable to this product and approved by VertiDrive.
Only trained and certified personnel who are duly qualified are authorized to operate the system. Before the use of
the robot, VertiDrive and/or an authorized VertiDrive representative / trainer will demonstrate the product and
provide training on the safe use of the robot and equipment. Participants receive a signed and dated certificate of
participation, which is obligatory to operate and/or maintain the robot. The minimum operator age is 18.
Maintenance engineers must be instructed by VertiDrive or an authorized VertiDrive representative. VertiDrive
maintenance instructions and procedures must be adhered to.
Responsibilities for owner and user
Any changes made to the VertiDrive V700 Series robot may lead to severe damage and injury to the operator or
other personnel in the vicinity of the robot.
The VertiDrive V700 Series robot must not be changed in any way without the written permission of VertiDrive B.V. The
risks and consequences related to adaptations are explicitly excluded from the responsibility of VertiDrive B.V.
VertiDrive B.V. cannot be held responsible for failures or any damage caused by improper use of the equipment, or
overdue maintenance. Personnel will always remain responsible for their actions and the consequential results.
