Examination
2019-12-11 7
2 Examination
2.1Examination by machine operator
Prior to each shift, the machine operator has to examine the
effectiveness of the control and safety devices as well as
the proper fitting of the protection devices.
The safe working condition of construction machinery has to
be checked by the machine operator during operation.
If the safety devices show any defects or if any other
defects are detected that compromise a safe operation, the
supervisor has to be informed immediately.
In case of defects that cause harm to persons, the operation
of the construction machine has to be stopped to eliminate
the defects.
2.2Periodic inspection
Construction machinery has to be inspected for their safe
working condition in accordance with the operating
conditions and the operational requirements as needed,
however at least once a year by an expert.
Pressure vessels have to undergo the prescribed expert
inspections.
The inspection results have to be documented and kept at
least until the next inspection.

15 Operating modes
15.1 Selector switch pump motor
Fig. 16: Operating modes pump motor
The pump motor can be operated in three operating modes:
Selector switch position “0”:
The machine is switched off.
Selector switch right (toggle):
The machine starts when the main switch and the control
voltage is switched on:
Selector switch left (momentary contact):
The pump motor runs backwards, thus the pump is relaxed
while all other functions are locked.
15.2 Selector switch pressure booster pump
Fig. 17: Operating modes
water pump
The pressure booster pump can be operated in three different operating
modes:
Selector switch position “0”:
Water pump is switched off, e.g. if the water pressure is continuously at
2.5 bar.
Selector switch right:
Water pump is running in sync with the mixing pump (automatic mode).
Selector switch left:
The water pump runs continuously in position “manual” (e.g. for
cleaning the hoses).
