The fan, reversing and turning unit must not be opened during the
guarantee period as this will entail loss of guarantee cover.
After each repair or maintenance job check the guards as described in

ULTI
...-90°)
Due to wear, the braking power of the spring-pressure brake may be reduced
considerably.
If you notice that the load does not immediately stop moving when the swivel
valve is released, the air gap of the brake must be adjusted without delay.
(This air gap may not exceed 0.6 mm.)
