pewag levo hook LH

8. Procedure in case of
accidents or faults

As mentioned in section 5.2, there are six reasons that cause
the status display to light up:
1. The device is malfunctioning
2. The test interval for the device has been exceeded
3. Weighing module (see section 5.4)
4. When switching on the unit
5. Max. load is exceeded (5 tonnes)
6. Pre-defined settings are exceeded (e.g. weight, temperature)

In case of malfunctioning, try acknowledging the fault memory
by deactivating the device using the on/off button. Wait 10
seconds before reactivating the pewag levo hook LH. If the
status display no longer lights up, the error was temporary.
Continue using the device as normal. If the status display lights
up again immediately or after a short period, the device must
be inspected by pewag austria GmbH or by an authorised
pewag dealer and repaired as required.

If the swivel hook is blocked or stuck to the load, do not use
excessive violence to release it. This may damage the safety
catch or the swivel hook. Lower the load and resolve the fault
using manual force.

An acknowledgable error occurs if the hook does not fully open
or close. This error is indicated by a flashing status display on
the hook and the radio control unit. Lower the load and attempt
to find the cause of the blockage.

Next, try operating the hook again by pressing the OPEN/
CLOSE button on the hook or by using the remote control. If
this process is now successful, the service LED will go off.
If the swivel hook, casing or lifting eye show signs of
deformation (e.g. due to overloading) or other unusual events,
the device must be removed from service and handed to a
competent person for inspection or repair (see chapter 9.2,
Elimination criteria).
