DANGER!
Danger of life by crashing the load!
Falling loads can cause serious injury or death.
- Never stand, linger or work below a suspended
load.
- Loads may only be moved under supervision.
- A load must not be lifted by the wire rope hoist if it
is slipping, falling or if its component parts are not
secured firmly together.
- A rusted or damaged wire rope hoist must never be
used.
- A load lifted by the wire rope hoist should not be left
unattended.
- Care should be taken during lifting that the opera-
tor does not stand within the working range of the
load.
- When leaving the workplace, lower the load.
- Unsuitable suspension points can fail and the load
may drop. The wire rope hoist load hook should
only be secured to suitable suspension points on
the load.
- Under no circumstances may a load be subjected
to a heavy blow or collision.
ATTENTION!
- Do not carry people on the wire rope hoist.
- Do not move loads which exceed the maximum
load-bearing capacity of the wire rope hoist (see
type plate).
- Never use the wire rope hoist with damaged or
kinked cable.
- The wire rope hoist must not be used for moving
jammed or wedged loads.
- Avoid over-use of jog control (repeated short im-
pulses to the motor).
- Do not change the direction of movement sud-
denly.
- In order to prevent accidents and to minimise strain
on the wire rope hoist, never leave a heavy load
suspended for a lengthy period of time.
