1Basic operation and designated use of the machine
1.1 The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its
use may constitute a risk to life and limb of the user or of third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other material
property.
1.2 The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance with its designated use and the instructions set
out in the operation manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the
machine. Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine/plant, should therefore be rectified
immediately!
1.3 The machine is exclusively designed for the use described in the operating manual. Using the machine for purposes other than
those mentioned in the manual, such as driving and controlling other pneumatic systems, is considered contrary to its designated
use. The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such use. The risk of such misuse lies entirely
with the user.
Operating the machine within the limits of its designated use also involves observing the instructions set out in the operating manual
and complying with the inspection and maintenance directives.
2 Organizational measures
2.1 The operating manual must always be at hand at the place of use of the machine!
2.2 In addition to the operating instructions, observe and instruct the user in all other generally applicable legal and other mandatory
regulations relevant to accident prevention and environmental protection.
This also applies for wearing protective clothing, helmet with visor or goggles and protective gloves.
2.3 In order to avoid injuries, the machine must only be operated by a specially trained operator who has undergone a safety
training.
2.4 Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine. Make sure that safety instructions and warnings
attached to the machine are always complete and perfectly legible.
2.5 Never make any modifications, additions or conversions which might affect safety without the supplier's approval. This also
applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves.
2.6 Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer. Spare parts from original equipment
manufacturers can be relied to do so.
2.7 Replace hydraulic hoses at the specified or adequate intervals, even if no defects are detected which might affect safety. This
must be done after 10 years, at the latest!
2.8 Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operating manual for routine checks and inspections.
2.9 Make sure to dispose properly of packing material and dismounted parts!
3 General safety instructions
3.1 In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and lock it. Have any defects rectified immediately.
3.2 Before starting up or setting the machine in motion and during operation of the machine make sure that nobody is at risk.
3.3 Before transporting the machine always check that the accessories have been safely stowed away.
3.4 Make sure that there is enough lighting during work.
3.5 Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability.
3.6 Check the machine at least after every operation for obvious damage and defects. Report any changes (incl. changes in the
machine’s working behaviour) to the competent organization /person immediately. If necessary, stop the machine immediately and
lock it. All lines, hoses and screwed connections have to be checked for leaks and obvious damage. Repair damage immediately.
Splashed oil may cause injury and fire.
3.7 All safety equipment has to be checked for completeness and flawless condition:
- instruction markings and warning signs (safety instructions)
- check safety cover (e.g. motor-safety covers, heat protection etc.) if they are available and if they are in good condition..
3.8 Working under loads is not allowed if they are only lifted by hydraulic cylinders. If the work is indispensable sufficient
mechanical supports are needed additionally.
3.9 Do not stress hoses mechanically (pulling, buckling etc.).
3.10 When working in the vicinity of live components and lines, suitable precautions must be taken against current conductions and
high-voltage flashovers on the hand pump and connected devices.
3.11 Prevent electrostatic charges with possible subsequent sparking from occurring when the unit is in operation.
3.12 When setting up the unit, ensure that the functionality and safety of the unit is not impaired by the influence of high external
temperature.
4 Instructions for maintenance and service
4.1 For the execution of maintenance and service work, tools and workshop equipment adapted to the task on hand are absolutely
indispensable.
Work on the hydraulic system must be carried out only by personnel having special knowledge and experience with hydraulic
equipment.
4.2 Before putting into operation clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces of oil, fuel or
preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair. Never use aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning rags and pay attention
that the components are meticulously clean during reassembling after repair.
4.3 During dismantling of machines it is necessary to collect the outrunning hydraulic liquids completely, so that they cannot reach
the ground. They have to be disposed properly accord-ing to the instructions.
4.4 Always tighten any screwed and thread connections that have been loosened during maintenance and repair. Observe the
stipulated torques.
