2.3.4 Replacement and wear parts as well as auxiliary supplies
Replace parts of the machine that are not in proper technical condition without delay.
When doing so, use only original parts made or approved by the manufacturer. When using replacement
and wear parts made by third parties, you are not guaranteed that these parts are designed and
constructed in a way that would ensure operational reliability and safety.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by using unapproved replacement and wear parts
or auxiliary supplies.
Wear parts are not covered by warranty!
Parts considered wear parts include:
 Blades including their holders and fasteners.
 Mixing augers, both entire units and parts thereof.
 Shear bolts.
Wear parts must be subjected to regular measurements / visual inspections at 4-week intervals.
If experiencing extensive wear, you can interchange the mixing augers fitted on a multi-spindle machine.
This ensures uniform wear, extending the overall service life of the mixing augers.
2.3.5 Warranty and liability
Our "Terms of Sales and Delivery" apply as a general rule. The owner has received these terms no later
than by the time the contract was concluded.
Warranty and liability claims are excluded in cases of personal injury and property damage that can be
attributed to one or several of the following causes:
 Improper use of the machine,
 Improper installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the machine,
 Operating the machine with defective safety devices or improperly mounted or non-operational
safety devices and guards,
 Failure to observe the information provided in the operating manual regarding commissioning,
operation and maintenance,
 Unauthorized structural modifications on the machine,
 Insufficient monitoring of machine parts that are subject to wear,
 Improperly performed repairs,
 Natural disasters caused by the impact of foreign objects and force majeure.

V-MIX Fix Plus
2.4 General safety instructions
General safety instructions:
 apply in general and are intended to ensure the safe operation of the machine,
 are summarized in the subchapters below.
2.4.1 General information on safety and accident prevention
 In addition to the safety information provided in this chapter, the general information on safety and
accident prevention applicable in the respective country must be observed.
 Wear your personal protective equipment while working on the machine.
 Follow the warnings and instructions attached to the machine. These instructions provide you with
important information on how to handle the machine in a safe and trouble-free manner.
 In addition to the general safety information provided in the chapter, the action-related safety
instructions laid out in the other chapters must be observed as well.
 Keep everyone away from the immediate area of the machine before putting it into operation.
2.4.2 Use of the machine
 Before starting to work, familiarize yourself with all devices and controls of the machine and the way
they operate. It will be too late to do so when work is underway.
 Wear close-fitting clothing. Loose-fitting clothing increases the risk of entrapment or entanglement
on shaft drives.
 Only commission the machine if all guards are mounted and in safety position.
 Only one person is allowed to operate the machine. Keep third parties away from the danger area
of the machine before you start operating the machine.
 Do not climb into the mixing hopper unless:
o the machine is switched off and secured against inadvertent restart.
o you enter through a discharge opening when the dosing gate is completely open and secured.
o you wear personal protective equipment.
o you use the greatest possible caution. Pay attention to the position of the cutting blades on the
mixing auger.
 There is a risk of sustaining crushing injuries when opening and closing the dosing gates. Keep
everyone away from the danger area before opening and closing the dosing gates.
 Never reach into the mixing hopper through one of the discharge openings while the machine is
running.

2.4.3 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
 Verify that the hydraulic hose lines are connected properly.
 Do not block any actuators on the machine which are used to perform direct hydraulic movements
of components, e.g. tipping, swinging and sliding.
The respective movement must stop automatically once you release the corresponding actuator.
This does not apply to the movements of devices:
o that are continuous,
o that are controlled automatically,
o that require a float position or pressurized position for operation.
 Before working on the hydraulic system:
o Secure raised moving parts of the machine from being lowered inadvertently.
o Depressurize the hydraulic system.
 Have an expert verify the proper technical condition of the hydraulic hose lines at least once per
year.
 Replace hydraulic hose lines when detecting obvious defects, damage and wear. Use only original
hydraulic hose lines.
 Do not use hydraulic hose lines for more than six years, including any storage time, which must not
exceed a period of two years.
Even if stored properly and only subjected to the permissible stress, hoses and hose connections
are subject to natural aging, limiting their storage time and period of use. The actual period of use
may deviate from these specifications based on experience and, in particular, taking potential
hazards into consideration. The same guidelines apply to hoses and hose lines made of
thermoplastics.
 Never attempt to seal leaking hydraulic hose lines using your hand or fingers.
Fluids (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure may penetrate the skin and enter the body,
resulting in severe injury.
Seek immediate medical attention if injury from hydraulic oil has occurred. Risk of infection.
2.4.4 Electrical system
 Switch off the power supply before performing any work on the electrical system. Turn the main
switch to the “OFF” position and secure it against restart.
 Use only the designated fuses. Using higher amperage fuses may destroy the electrical system –
as there is a risk of fire.
 Make sure all electrical installations are completed by trained and qualified personnel and as
specified in the circuit diagram.

Safety instructions
18

V-MIX Fix Plus
2.4.5 Cleaning, maintenance and repairs
 Adhere to the prescribed intervals for cleaning, servicing and repairs.
 Secure the machine from being started inadvertently before cleaning, servicing or repairing the
machine. Set the main switch to the "OFF" position and secure the switch with a padlock.
 Always disconnect the electric current supply before carrying out work on the electrical equipment.
 Any residual mechanical, hydraulic or electrical energy stored in the equipment may cause the
machine to start moving inadvertently.
o When servicing and repairing the machine, be aware of the existence of residual energy.
 Secure all operating media such as compressed air and hydraulic oil against unintended start-up.
 Carefully attach and secure larger components using lifting devices before replacing them.
 Regularly check nuts and bolt for tightness. Re-tighten loosened nuts and bolts.
 Secure the raised machine / raised parts of the machine from being lowered inadvertently before
cleaning, servicing or repairing the machine.
 Use suitable tools and wear cut-resistant protective gloves when changing tools with cutting edges.
 Regularly check if previously loosened bolt joints are firmly seated. When maintenance is complete,
check if all safety devices and safeguards function properly.
 Dispose of oils, greases and filters properly.
 Properly handle and dispose of substances and materials used for cleaning the machine, in
particular:
o when working on lubrication systems and lubrication equipment,
o when using solvents for cleaning.
 Replacement parts must meet the minimum technical requirements specified by the manufacturer.
Compliance is ensured by the use of original spare parts.
 Observe the maintenance intervals applicable to wear parts.
