2.2 Personnel qualifications and training
The personnel responsible for operating, maintaining, inspection and assembly of the machine/system have to be appropriately qualified for
whatever work they do. The customer is responsible for exactly regulating areas of responsibility, authority and monitoring of personnel.
Should personnel not avail of the necessary knowledge, they are to be trained and instructed. This can be done, if necessary, by the
manufacturer/supplier, on commission of the buyer of the machine. Furthermore, the customer has to ensure that personnel have fully
understood the contents of the Operating Manual.
2.3 Dangers from non-observance of the safety instructions
Non-observance of the safety instructions can result in danger to persons and damage to the environment and the machine. Non-observance
of the safety instructions can lead to loss of any claims for damage compensation.
In detail, non-observance can for instance involve the following hazards:
-
Failure of important machine/system functions
-
Failure of prescribed methods for maintenance and repairs
-
Danger to persons through electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards
-
Danger to the environment through leakage of harmful substances
2.4 Safety-awareness at work
The safety instructions described in this Operating Manual, the valid national regulations on accident prevention, and possible internal
regulations of the customer on work, operation and safety are to be observed.
2.5 Safety instructions for the customer/operator
Should hot or cold machinery lead to hazards, the customer has to provide that these parts are secured against being touched.
-
Protective devices to prevent touching moving machinery (e.g. coupling) may not be removed from operating machines.
-
Leakage (e.g. shaft seals) of dangerous conveyed products (e.g. explosive, poisonous, hot) has to be led off in such a way that there is
-
no endangerment to persons or environment. Legal stipulations are to be maintained.
Hazards through electric energy are to be eradicated (for details, see the VDE [German Electrical Engineer Association] regulations and
-
those of the local power supply companies).
2.6 Safety instructions for maintenance, inspection and assembly work
The customer has to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried out by authorised and qualified specialist
personnel, who have been sufficiently informed through relevant and adequate study of the Operating Manual.
Work on the machine is to be done on principle only when it is shut down. The procedure for shutting down the machine is described in the
Operating Manual and is to be urgently maintained.
Pumps, or pump units that convey hazardous media have to be decontaminated. Immediately after finishing work, all safety and protective
devices have to be re-attached and put into effect.
Prior to initial (re-)start-up, you are to take heed of the points listed in the section Initial Operation.
2.7 Unauthorised re-equipping and spare-part production
Re-equipment and modification of the machine are only permitted after consultation with the manufacturer. Original spare parts and
accessories authorised by the manufacturer are all part of the safety strategy. Use of other parts can eliminate liability for the consequences
that ensue.
2.8 Prohibited methods of operation
Operational safety of the delivered machine is only guaranteed when it is used appropriately according to Section 1 - General - in the
Operating Manual. The limit values specified in the data sheet may on no account be exceeded.
3. Transport and interim storage
3.1 Transport
The effluent lifting units of the Miniboy SE production series may not be thrown or dropped. Moreover, they are to be transported in a
horizontal position.
