ƒ This safety information does not claim to be complete. Please contact the reponsible
BERGES company should you have any questions or problems.
ƒ The VG comply with the state of the art on the date of delivery and are always
delivered in a safe operating condition.
ƒ The VG may be used and operated only within the framework of the conditions
stipulated in the Performance and Supply Contract.
ƒ The VG pose risks and dangers to persons, to the VG themselves and to
other valuables of the user if:
- non-qualified personnel work on and with the VG or
- the VG are used inappropriately.
ƒ The VG must be planned such that they perform their function and cause no risk
or danger to persons if they they perform their function correctly after having been
properly installed and if used as intended. This also applies to interworking thereof
with the overall installation.
ƒ The VG may be installed, placed into operation, serviced and, if necessary, re -
paired only by authorised, trained and instructed qualified personnel. ( see point 2.1
for definition of qualified personnel ).
ƒ Suitable measures must be taken to ensure that no damage to property occurs
should the VG fail.
ƒ Operate the VG only in proper working order.
ƒ All work on the VG must be performed carefully with a view to safety and may
only ever be carried out at 'standstill'. In this case, the drive must be locked to pre-
vent 'unintentional swich-on' ( e.g. by locking the key-operated swich or removing
the fuses from the power supply ). An information sign indicating that work is under-
way on the drive must be attached to the 'swich-on point'.
ƒ Always follow the relevant regulations on work safety and environmental protection
during transport, assembly, dismantling, operation, care and servicing.
ƒ Rotating operating components such as couplings, gearwheels, such as increased
operating temperature or gear noises, occur during operation.
ƒ The VG must be shut down immediately should changes, such as increased
operating temperature or gear noises, occur during operation.
ƒ When installing the VG in equipment or installations, the manufacturer of the
equipment or installations is obliged tu include the regulations, instructions and
descriptions contained in these Op. Inst. in his own Operating Instructions.
ƒ On an account may retrofitting operations, modifictions or conversion work be carried
out on the VG ; such work will always require consultation with BERGES
Antriebstechnik.
