Proper connections are essential to comply with the law on the electromagnetic compatibility of machine components. Almotion only supplies the mechanical parts and never any electricity or electro-magnetic parts, therefore we not accept any liability in this.

AnyelectricalinstallationmustbedonebyaqualifiedEMCtechnician.The following regulations apply: • relevantaccidentpreventionregulations• generallyacceptedsafetyregulations• EUDirectives• otherapplicablestandards• nationalregulations

1.1 Significanceoftheinstructionmanual

Theinstructionmanualbelongstothedesignatedunitand:• mustbekeptreadilyaccessibleuntilthemachineisdiscarded,• mustbehandedovertoownersorborrowersiftheunitissoldorlent.Alwayscontactthemanufacturerifthereisanythingthatyoudonotunderstandproperlyintheinstructionmanual.

It is unavoidable that there are still a few risks for persons and property associated with these components. Therefore, every person who works with this unit and is involved with transport, installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the unit must be trained and be aware of the possible dangers. The instruction manual, in particular safety instructions, must be carefully read, understood and followed.

No knowledge or inadequate knowledge of the instruction manual voids the liability of Lineairtechniek®/Almotion® for any claims. The operator is therefore recommended to have written confirmation of staff training.
