SAFETY
This means the manufacturer's liability excludes
all liability for personal injury, material damage or
financial losses.
2. Safety
This section lists all the generally applicable
safety instructions and technical information.
In addition, all the other sections contain specific
safety instructions and technical information.
All instructions and information must be observed
and followed during the various phases of the
hydraulics's life cycle (installation, operation,
maintenance, transport etc.)! The operator is
responsible for ensuring that all personnel follow
these instructions and guidelines.
2.1. Instructions and safety instructions
This manual uses instructions and safety instruc-
tions for preventing injury and damage to prop-
erty. To clearly identify them for personnel, the
instructions and safety instructions are distin-
guished as follows:
• Instructions appear in bold and refer directly to
the preceding text or section.
• Safety instructions are slightly indented and bold
and always start with a signal word.
• Danger
Serious or fatal injuries can occur!
• Warning
Serious injuries can occur!
• Caution
Injuries can occur!
• Caution (instruction without symbol)
Substantial property damage can occur.
Irreparable damage is possible!
• Safety instructions that refer to personal injury
appear in black and are always accompanied by
a safety symbol. Danger, prohibition or instruc-
tion symbols are used as safety symbols.
Example:
Danger symbol: General hazard
Danger symbol, for example, electrical current
Prohibition symbol, for example, Keep out!
Instruction symbol, for example, wear protec-
tive clothing
Installation and operating instructions Wilo-RexaBloc RE
The safety symbols used conform to the generally
applicable directives and regulations, such as DIN
and ANSI.
• Safety instructions that only refer to mate-
rial damage are printed in grey, without safety
symbols.
2.2. General safety
• When installing or removing the hydraulics, never
work alone in rooms and sump. A second person
must always be present.
• The hydraulics must always be switched off
before any work is performed on it (assembly,
dismantling, maintenance, installation). The drive
for the hydraulics must be disconnected from
the electrical system and secured against being
switched on again. All rotating parts must have
come to a standstill.
• The operator should inform his/her superior im-
mediately should any defects or irregularities
occur.
• The end-user must shut down the equipment im-
mediately if defects occur that represent a safety
risk. These include:
• Failure of the safety and/or monitoring devices
• Damage to important parts
• Damage to electrical equipment, cables, and
insulation.
• Tools and other objects should be kept in their
designated places so that they can be found
quickly.
• Sufficient ventilation must be provided in en-
closed rooms.
• When welding and/or working with electronic
devices, make sure there is no risk of explosion.
• Only use lifting gear which is legally defined as
such and officially approved.
• The lifting gear must be kept safely and must be
suitable for the conditions of use (weather, hook-
ing unit, load, etc.).
• Mobile equipment for lifting loads should be
used in such a way that it is guaranteed to remain
stable during operation.
• When using mobile equipment for lifting non-
guided loads, take action to prevent tipping,
shifting, sliding, etc.
• Measures should be taken to ensure that no
person is ever directly beneath a suspended
load. Furthermore, it is also prohibited to move
suspended loads over workplaces where people
are present.
• If mobile equipment is used for lifting loads, a
second person should be present to coordinate
the procedure if required (for example, if the
operator's field of vision is blocked).
• The load to be lifted must be transported so that
no-one will be injured if there is a power failure.
Furthermore, if such work is being carried out
outdoors, it must be cancelled if the weather
conditions worsen.
