Additional local ordinances must be observed.

The system operator is responsible for third persons within the working area.

The areas of responsibility covering the various operator functions on the machine must be precisely delineated and stringently observed.

Overlapping areas of competence present a safety risk.

The system owner is responsible for:

nmaking the Operating Instructions available to the system operator

nensuring that the operator has read and understood the Operating Instructions

8. Personal Protective Equipment

nFor protection against spray-water, water repellent protective clothing must be worn.
