Maintenance

6.1

Safety

Personnel

The maintenance works described here can be carried out by the

operator, unless marked otherwise.
Some maintenance work must only be carried out by specially

trained technical personnel or exclusively by the manufacturer.
Work on electrical systems must always only be carried out by

qualified electricians.

Basic information

WARNING

Risk of injury due to improperly carried out

maintenance work!

Improper maintenance can lead to severe injuries or

considerable property damage.

Prior to starting the works ensure that there is enough

space to carry out the works.
Ensure order and safety at the assembly site! Unat-

tached components or tools left lying around or

stacked on one another can cause accidents.
If components have been previously removed, ensure

that they are mounted again correctly, reattach all

fastening elements and adhere to the specified screw

tightening torques.

Electrical system

DANGER

Danger to life from electric current!

Contact with live components can lead to death or serious

injury. Live electrical components can move uncontrollably

and cause serious injury.

Switch off the energy supply before starting any work

and secure against restarting.
