The Safety Lock withstands overloading up to 2 x admissible load (M). The
mounting elements which take up the load (such as the rod and its linkage,
etc.) must therefore be dimensioned to a loading of at least 2 x M. If the rod
is overloaded it will not slip, resulting in damage to the rod and the Safety
Lock.
