The product was in perfect condition with regard to safety features when it left the
factory.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the
instructions and observe the warnings in this manual.
2.2Intended use
The device is intended for use as an indicator for weighing functions.
Product operation, commissioning and maintenance must be performed by trained and
qualied personnel who are aware of and able to deal with the related hazards and take
suitable measures for self-protection.
The device reects the state of the art.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage caused by third-party system
components or due to incorrect use of the product. The use of this product signies
recognition of the stipulations listed above.
2.3Incoming goods inspection
The shipment must be checked for completeness. A visual inspection must be performed
to determine if the shipment has been damaged. If there are grounds for a complaint, this
must be brought to the attention of the delivery company immediately. A Minebea Intec
sales or service point must be informed.
