Maintenance and Testing
When placing the system in service for the first time, when it has been out of service for
some time, after conversions and repair work, make certain the scanner and any other
safety parts are checked specifically for the application and operation by the responsible
trained specialist. This must be done taking into consideration applicable local
requirements, especially for guidelines on machines and using work material and work
safety guidelines. If the correct functionality is not clearly confirmed or if safety-related
parameters have been changed, turn the machine or vehicle off immediately. Stopgap
measures are not permitted.
Please comply with the safety notes in Chapter 3!
