● Regarding products from other manufacturers, always heed the warnings
given in the safety data sheets and the operating instructions from the
product manufacturer.
● Take measures to protect against noise!
● Do not stand underneath suspended loads.
● always keep control cabinet / all electricity supply units / electrical control
units closed. Access is only allowed to authorized personnel.
● Protect live and high-voltage components against moisture. Under no
circumstances may water jets or high-pressure cleaners be directed at
these!
● Before entering the operating area of the manure scraper, the main switch
should be switched off and locked using a padlock.
● Before carrying out any work on the system, always switch off the main
switch and lock using a padlock. This prevents the system from starting
unexpectedly.
● Moving parts such as scrapers, deflection pulleys and chains must be
covered or fenced off if they are located outside the protected barn area.
