damage, hazards or faults may result.
Intended use
The WSG-29 lift machines have been manufactured in compli-
ance with the latest state of the art and recognised safety reg-
ulations. They may only be used for the purpose for which
they are intended, and with all safety devices in proper work-
ing order.
The WSG-29 may only be used for driving lifts. "Intended use"
also requires that the instructions contained in the documen-
tation supplied with the machine and the commissioning
instructions be observed, and that the specified inspection and
maintenance work be carried out.
Warranty and liability
Our " onditions of Sale and Delivery" shall apply for all our
supplies and services.
We do not accept any warranty or liability claims for personal
injury or property damage resulting from one or more of the
following causes:
• Improper use of the lift machine
• Improper installation, commissioning, operation or mainte-
nance
• Operation of the WSG-29 with defective and/or inoperative
safety or protective devices
• Non-compliance with the instructions contained in the
operating instructions or other documentation supplied
• Unauthorised construction modifications to the WSG-29
• Insufficient monitoring of parts subject to wear
• Repairs carried out improperly
• Emergencies caused by external forces or force majeure
Safety precautions
Only qualified personnel are authorised to perform any plan-
ning, installation or maintenance work, and this must be done
in accordance with the relevant instructions.
The personnel must be trained for the job and must be familiar
with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation
of the product.
The WSG-29 lift machines are intended for use in an enclosed,
lockable machine room to which only qualified personnel and
personnel authorised by the customer have access..
Danger
Warning
Caution
• WSG-29 lift machines are not ready-to-use products; they
may only be operated after they have been installed in lift
systems and their safe operation has been ensured by taking
the appropriate measures.
• heck the proper functioning of the motor and the brake
after installing the machine.
• Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or an
authorised repair agency. Unauthorised opening and tam-
pering may result in injuries to persons and property.
• The machines are not designed for direct connection to the
three-phase system but are to be operated via an electronic
frequency inverter. Direct connection to the mains may
destroy the motor.
• High surface temperatures may occur on the external parts
of the machine. Therefore, no temperature-sensitive parts
may be in contact with these parts or attached to them.
Protection against accidental contact should be provided, if
required.
• The E type-examined fail-safe brakes provided are designed
only for a limited number of emergency braking operations.
They must not be used as working brakes.
• If the motor is not energised, no torque is produced. This
may result in uncontrolled acceleration of the lift, if the
brakes are released. Therefore, the motor winding should be
short-circuited to produce a speed-dependent braking
torque while the motor is not supplied with current. (Use
the main contacts for short-circuiting as rated motor cur-
rent may be flowing.) The motor must never be short-
circuited while it is energised.
• High voltages are applied at the terminal connections during
the operation of synchronous motors.
