Important safety instructions 5

2. Important safety instructions

2.1 Intended use

The purpose of the HygieneBox is to provide feed delivery to calves, provide support of the fully

automatic cleaning function, record the movements of the teat during consumption of the feed

and control the automatic feed delivery start function.

2.2 Target group

2.2.1 Necessary qualifications of the owner

The owner must be a trained farmer or have good practical experience in farming. He must

know the relevant accident prevention regulations and generally accepted safety regulations.

2.2.2 Necessary qualifications of the service technician

Only trained service technicians are authorized to install, commission, maintain and repair the

HygieneBox/HygieneBox Teat Lock.

Service technicians are specialists with the appropriate qualifications. Service technicians are

able to assess the work assigned to them and detect potential risks on the basis of their tech-

nical training as well as their knowledge of the relevant standards. They are familiar with the

relevant accident prevention regulations, generally accepted safety regulations and country-

specific standards and provisions.

2.3 Residual risks

Hazards to health and life caused by the HygieneBox:

WARNING!

Danger from electric current

The automatic feeder to which the HygieneBox is connected is electrically operated.

►You must observe the general precautions for handling electrical equipment.

• Read the operating manual before operating the HygieneBox.

• Keep children away from the HygieneBox.

• Only use genuine spare parts from the manufacturer.

• Turn off the automatic feeders and disconnect the power plug before carrying out any main-

tenance or cleaning work on the HygieneBox.

• The electrical system of the HygieneBox can present the following special hazards:

•Electrical discharge. If there is an electrical discharge or voltage breakdown, electric

current flows through parts of the HygieneBox that are normally insulated. Touching the

unit can cause a fatal electric shock. The HygieneBox must be checked regularly for

electrical safety in compliance with national regulations (repeated inspection). Make

sure that a 30 mA residual current device (RCD) is installed.

6 Important safety instructions

•

•Short circuit, indirect contact. If there is a short circuit, current at many times the level

of the operating current can flow. Touching the unit can cause a fatal electric shock.

Make sure to install fuse protection (provided by the customer) and an earth leakage cir-

cuit breaker (ELCB) of 30 mA in compliance with local regulations.

•Burns. The solenoid valves can reach temperatures of up to 100°C. Touching them can

cause burns. Do not touch the solenoid valves during operation.

•Poisoning, difficulty in breathing, suffocation. Liquids used to clean the teats may con-

tain substances that are hazardous to human health. Avoid direct contact and always wear

protective gloves and goggles when handling these liquids.

•Rough ambient conditions. The HygieneBox operates in a rough working environment.

Damage of any kind can result in hazards. Regularly check the HygieneBox for damage and

have any damage rectified as necessary by a service technician.

Material damage caused by the HygieneBox

The following material damage can be caused by the HygieneBox:

•Infection. Improper cleaning can result in calves becoming infected by pathogens at the

teat. This can lead to medical costs or cause the death of the calves. Observe the specifi-

cations issued by the manufacturer of the cleaning agent that is used.

2.4 Your duties

The owner has a duty to:

• Prevent misuse by children.

• Keep children, youths, and people with restricted physical, sensory and mental abilities

eration.

• Only allow operating personnel to work with/on the HygieneBox who:

• Are familiar with the basic operational safety and accident prevention regulations.

• Have been given instructions on working with/on the HygieneBox.

• Have read and understood this operating manual.

• Comply with the operational safety and accident prevention regulations.

• When cleaning the HygieneBox, observe the safety instructions stipulated in the safety data

sheet for the cleaning agent.

• Use only original accessories, original spare parts and original wearing parts. These are

available from your dealer.

• Keep the working environment of the HygieneBox clean and tidy.

• Deactivate teat cleaning during frost.

2.5 How am I warned of hazards?

Hazards are indicated directly on the HygieneBox by safety labels (warning signs, instruction

and prohibition notices), and in the operating manual by specially marked hazard descriptions.

The warnings for hazards that can cause death or injury to people are emphasized more than

those for material damage, for example through the colors, hazard words or symbols used.

Safety labels are an important element of the overall HygieneBox safety concept. They provide

warnings about hazards and explain how to avoid them.

Make sure that all the specified safety labels are fitted to your HygieneBox and that they are in

a legible condition. If the safety labels are difficult to read, replace them immediately. New safety

labels are available from Förster-Technik GmbH.

2.5.1 What are the components of a hazard description?

A hazard description always consists of the following elements:

• Hazard word (danger, warning, caution, attention)

• Type of hazard (what can happen?)

• Location of hazard (where can it happen?)

• Actions necessary for preventing the hazard (what should I do?).

2.5.2 Potentially fatal hazards or health hazards

Depending on their severity and the probability of them occurring, hazards that can cause death

or injury to people are indicated by a hazard symbol (warning triangle with exclamation

mark) and the following hazard words:

DANGER!

The word DANGER indicates an imminent hazard that will lead to death or serious injury.

Warning signs in the operating manual: DANGER (white text on red background).

8 Important safety instructions

WARNING!

The word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could lead to death

or serious injury.

Warning signs in the operating manual: WARNING (black text on orange background).

CAUTION!

The word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could lead to minor

injury.

Warning signs in the operating manual: CAUTION (black text on yellow background).

2.5.3 Material damage

NOTICE!

The word ATTENTION indicates possible material damage. The HygieneBox or anything

in its vicinity, such as a calf, may be damaged or injured.

Prohibition notice on the HygieneBox: a pictogram crossed out in red in a white circle with a red

border indicates something you are not allowed to do.

Operating manual: white text on blue background

2.5.4 Safety signs

Different safety labels are attached at the hazardous points on the HygieneBox. Warning signs,

prohibition and instruction notices.

What are warning signs?

Warning signs consist of:

• A pictogram in a yellow triangle illustrating the potential hazard.

What are prohibitory signs?

Prohibitory signs have a pictogram of the prohibited action in a red circle with a line

through it. See the adjacent example. They graphically depict the prohibited ac-

tion. In this example, the hose with a line through it means that you may not use

high-pressure cleaners.

What are instruction notices?

Instruction notices show a pictogram of what you are being instructed to do in a

blue circle. They illustrate what you have to do. In the example, the pictogram

means that you must always disconnect the plug first.
