1.8 Intended use
The 300 Z/ZP 2 is suitable for temporary use at
construction sites. Any
other locations or intended uses require written approval from the
manu
facturer.
The 300 Z/ZP 2 is a construction material hoist and a transport platform
that is temporarily erected and
•which may only be operated after the landing level safety gates are
installed at each transfer point to the building or scaffolding
•which may only be operated at a wind speed of up to 72 km/h (20
m/sec. wind force 7-8 according to the Beaufort scale)
-which must have its platform parked on the ground and taken out
of operation at higher wind speeds.
As a construction material hoist
•which is intended exclusively for putting up scaffolding and for
transporting items and materials during construction work
•which may only be operated from outside the cordoned-off and
signposted hazard area using the ground control and/or operated
from the electric modules on the landing level safety gates
As a transport platform for carrying persons
•for transporting materials and max. 3 persons which can exit the
platform at installed and secured transition points
•which may only be used by trained personnel (platform operator) at
construction sites
•which can only be operated from the platform with dead man’s
control; (operation is not possible from other control locations)
•which can be stopped at any position (e.g. to unload bulky
components over the base enclosure)

Transport platform equipped for operation as per EN 16719
•roof over the complete platform (see chapter 4.5.1).
•landing level platform access (see chapter 4.3.3)
-as a barrier with electromagnetic lock
-as a barrier with mechanical lock (two separate actions), or
•with underrun protection installed under the platform [option]
(chapter 4.6.1), a cordon is sufficient for securing the ground station
(chapter 4.3.1.1) to protect persons and the machine.
or
•a base enclosure [option]
-1.10 m with limit-switch monitored barrier (see chapter 4.3.1.2) or
-2.00 m with sliding door (see chapter 4.3.1.3)
•Landing level safety gate closed (see chapter 4.3.4)
As a mast climbing platform
•which is designed for transporting material and a max. of 3 persons
who can carry out tasks from the platform
•which can only be operated from the platform with dead man’s
control; operation is not possible from other control locations
The instructions in chapter 3 Technical data must be observed and
adhered to.
Any other use or any use going beyond this is not considered proper
use.
The operating company/user of the machine is solely liable for any
damage resulting from this. This applies equally to any unauthorised
changes to the machine.

2 General safety information
The machine has been designed and built according to the state of the
art and recognised safety rules.
Nevertheless, hazards for personnel or third parties and/or damage to
machinery and other tangible assets can occur during use, e.g. if the
machine:
•is operated by untrained or uninstructed personnel,
•is not used for the intended purpose,
•is assembled, operated and serviced inappropriately.
Attached notices and warning signs must be observed!
Consequences of failure to comply with safety instructions
Failure to comply with safety instructions can result in hazards for
personnel as well as for the environment and the machine. Failure to
comply can lead to any claims for damages becoming invalid.
2.1 Residual risks
Residual risks remain from handling the machinery even when all safety
conditions are complied with.
Anyone who works on and with the machine must be aware of these
hazards and follow instructions that prevent these residual risks leading
to accidents or damage.
•Do not remove any safety labels; replace any safety instructions that
have become illegible.
•Hazard from improperly secured loads falling.
•Hazard when entering and leaving the platform.
•Hazard from damage to the mast sections, anchors or base unit.
•Hazard when working on the electrical system.
•Hazard from malfunctions in the control system.
•Hazards from uncoordinated working practices.
•Risk to persons by operating the platform with no cordoned- off
area/base enclosure.
•Hazard from high wind speeds > 72 km/h.

2.2 Safety instructions for operating personnel
The operating manual must be kept within reach at all times at the
location where the machine is used.
The machine may only be used in a technically flawless condition, in
accordance with the intended use, in a safety conscious manner,
with awareness for the hazards and in compliance with this operating
manual! In particular, faults that could impair safety must be eliminated
immediately!
In addition, the machine may only be operated when all safety devices
are installed and functioning!
Check the machine for externally identifiable damage and defects at
least once each working day! Immediately report any changes
(including changes to the operating behaviour) to the office/person in
charge. If necessary, shut down and secure the machine immediately!
The responsibilities for different jobs within the context of operation
and maintenance of the machine must be clearly defined and adhered
to. This is the only way to avoid mistakes, especially in hazardous
situations.
The relevant rules for the prevention of accidents, as well as other,
generally recognised health and safety rules must be adhered to.
The hoist operator is obligated to wear personal protective equipment
appropriate to the local conditions.
Switch-on and shut-down procedures, including emergency shut-
down, must be observed in accordance with the operating manual for
all work that affects operation and for conversions and adjustments to
the machine and its safety devices.
