Dear customer,
always read this guide carefully before using your transport dolly
for the first time!
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The specifications of the German Accident Prevention
Regulations (UVV) BGV D 27 always apply
Safety area: This includes the load, the area immediately
around the load as well as an appropriately large additional
distance such that no damage to property or personal injury
can arise if the heavy load tips. The operating personnel must
ensure that no unauthorized people are located in the safety
area!
You must never have parts of your body, such as your hands
arms or feet under the load!
You must pay attention to protruding parts and attachments to
avoid head injuries, for example!
Operating personnel must always wear safety shoes with steel

TRANSPORT SYSTEM ROBOT 20
SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Before deploying the GKS-Perfekt transport dolly Type ROBOT 20, you must check the weight of the
load to be lifted and the condition of the floor. Apart from this, you must comply with the accident
prevention regulations that apply at the place of use.
Use only for factory-internal transportation
Protect the equipment from wet or damp conditions
Before using the dolly and the drive modules, check them for visible defects
Do not overload the transport dollies and the steering dollies, even with a off-centre load you must
not exceed the permissible maximum capacity load of the individual steering dollies
Only use the transport and steering dollies on firm, level surfaces
On non-level surfaces, the dollies and the objects to be lifted must be firmly connected to one
another – there are threaded holes in the supporting surfaces of the dollies.
There is no braking equipment installed in the dollies; when parking on sloping surfaces, you must
secure the dollies from rolling away
No travel on upward or downward slopes
Dollies must always stand parallel to one another and to the heavy load.
Never use F-dollies without a connecting bar! If you use the device without a connecting bar, this
can damage the rollers!
Check whether there is other radio remote-controlled equipment in the vicinity
It is absolutely forbidden to ride on the material being transported!
The operator must always be within line of sight of the load.
In unclear situations, there must be another person present to act as a pathfinder.
If work is interrupted, you must switch off the main switches on the drive modules.
All liability claims in the case of damage to property or personal injury are excluded if this is due to
one or more of the following causes:
Noncompliance with the information in the Operating Instructions and in the Accident Prevention
Regulations
Unauthorized structural changes
Inadequate monitoring of parts that are subject to wear
Repairs that are carried out incorrectly
Inappropriate use of the propulsion modules or the transport and steering dollies
