We recommend equipping GIS chain hoists working outdoors with a canopy to protect them from the weather or to move the chain hoist, 

trolley and travel drive under a canopy when not in use. Special operating conditions can be agreed in individual cases with the manu-

facturer. After consultation, appropriate, optimised equipment, and important information for safe, low-wear use can be supplied. The 

intended use of the electric chain hoist likewise assumes the adherence to the operating, maintenance and servicing prescribed by the 

manufacturer.

The electric chain hoists of the GP types are lifting equipment for various loads. They can be installed as stationary or mobile units, while 

a lateral oscillation must be ensured. The electric chain hoists are manufactured in accordance with the latest technical developments and 

recognised safety standards, and are tested for safe operation by the manufacturer. Electric chain hoists are approved by various interna-

tional classification societies such as TÜV and others. Electric chain hoists of the above types may only be used when in an acceptable 

technical condition, in accordance with their intended use, by trained personnel in a safe and responsible manner.

0.6  Appropriate use

0.5.2 Warranty

The warranty is void if the installation, operation, testing and maintenance is not carried in accordance with this instruction manual. Re-

pairs and troubleshooting under warranty may only be carried out by qualified persons after consultation and agreement with the  

manufacturer/supplier. Any modifications to the product or the use of non-original spare parts will void the warranty.

0.5.1  Periodic checks

Each device/unit operator should adequately note all checks, maintenance and inspections performed in the inspection pass, and have 

these confirmed by the competent person in charge. Incorrect or missing entries will lead to forfeiture of the manufacturer's warranty.

Devices and cranes are to be checked periodically by a specialist. Primarily, visual and functional checks are to be carried out, 

whereby the state of components with respect to damage, wear, corrosion or any other changes is determined. In addition, 

safety equipment is assessed for completeness and efficiency. It may be necessary to dismantle the equipment to correctly 

assess wear parts.

Load-bearing parts must be inspected over their entire length, including covered or hidden parts.

All periodical inspections should be arranged by the operator.
