2.1 Safety instructions for preparing to install the drive
I
Follow these instructions when preparing to install the drive:
•
Ensure that installation personnel are competent and qualified, and they are provided with adequate
instructions for carrying out the installation work.
•
Check for any dimensional nonconformances in the drawings, instructions, parts and structural
measurements.
•
Beware of other moving machinery - such as machines, other cranes and automatic doors - in the
installation and servicing area. The installation area must be arranged so that operation of other
equipment in the area does not endanger installation work (or vice versa).
•
Prevent unauthorized persons and bystanders from walking in or under the work site.
2.2 Safety instructions for installing and operating the drive
I
Follow these instructions when installing the drive:
•
Use proper safety equipment to prevent objects from falling when working in high places.
•
Ensure that machinery and equipment cannot start up accidentally and cannot moved during
installation and servicing.
•
Keep the installation and servicing locations and walkways leading to them, clean and tidy.
I
Follow these instructions when operating the drive:
•
The useful lifetime of the drive depends heavily on whether the machinery is properly suited for the
environment and the crane duty group classification. Do not use the drive for other than the duty
group classification for which it was designed or selected.
•
When traveling, make sure that the moving parts do not collide with objects or people.
•
If the drive is accidently impacted in a collision, check the tightness of the mounting bolts and the
operation of the motor, brake, and gear. Check the traveling motions and pay special attention to any
abnormal noises that would indicate damage in the gear-train.
