The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material
and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a
professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's
weight.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds and quick links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN
1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently
dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1,
BGI 810-3).
Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be
followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current
safety instructions and consider them.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety
precautions!
Lead the safety bond through the mounting-bracket of the device and over the trussing system or a safe
fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
