Procurement/use of spare parts
We recommend the use of original spare parts and accessories. For
damages caused by the use of parts from third-party providers,
liability and warranty are excluded. The use of such products may
change the structural characteristics of the machine and negatively
affect the active or passive safety.
Cellular and cordless phones
When the control cabinet is open or the machine covers are open or
removed, no cellular or cordless phones may be used within a 2 m
radius.
Handling hydraulic and hose lines
Damaged hydraulic hose lines must be replaced immediately. Typical
types of damage include chafing, kinks, cracks, deformations, or
visible leaks.
Flexible, pressurized hydraulic hose lines of INDEX equipment are
generally designed as thermoplastics or metallic hydraulic hose lines.
The machine operator/owner is responsible for compliance with the
laws and regulations of the country of use with regard to the use of
hydraulic hoses.
We recommend inspection and documentation of the hydraulic hose
lines installed inside the machine and not directly visible every 12
months. For hydraulic hose lines visible in the work area or mounted
outside the machine and connecting components to the machine, we
recommend inspection and documentation every 6 months.
For the flexible, pressurized hydraulic hose lines used by INDEX ,
empirical values are available for very different periods of use, some
of which exceed 10 years.
Maintenance work on fluid systems (hydraulic, lubrication, and
pneumatic systems)
When carrying out maintenance work on fluid systems (hydraulic,
lubrication, and pneumatic systems), make sure before starting the
work that the respective system has been depressurized
(accumulator drain valve / manual slide valve).
Dry run or functional test
After all maintenance work and work on electrical assemblies, a dry
run or functional test must be performed.
