Explanation
Only use a hoist according to local safety regulations.
Never allow sharp bends in lifting cables and chains.
It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Never
lift the unit over people or residential areas. Never leave a load hanging on a
hoist. Lifting acceleration and retardation shall be kept within safe limits.
To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity, tested and approved according to
local safety regulations, shall be used.
Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc. shall never be bent and shall only have stress
in line with their design load axis. The capacity of a lifting device diminishes
when the lifting force is applied at an angle to its load axis.
For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting apparatus all lifting members
shall be applied as near to perpendicular as possible. A hoist has to be installed
in such a way that the object will be lifted perpendicular.
If that is not possible, the necessary precautions must be taken to prevent load
-
swinging, e.g. by using two hoists, each at approximately the same angle not
exceeding 30° from the vertical.
WARNING!
–
Consult the instruction and maintenance manual of the engine
and the alternator before carrying out maintenance. Improper maintenance, or
failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which
you can be seriously injured or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules
mentioned in the instruction and maintenance manual of the engine and the
alternator.
