The end user of the crane is responsible for the
selection and proper qualifications of the maintenance
personnel.
Persons can be injured if the crane
is incorrectly serviced.
If personnel other than that of the
ABUS company are employed to
perform maintenance on the crane,
it is the end user's responsibility to
ensure that these persons are
adequately qualified. Follow the
procedures described here
precisely.
Examples of qualified persons:
─ Persons with comprehensive knowledge from
specialist training in engineering and in the
electrical systems of cranes.
─ Persons with sufficient experience in the
operation, installation and maintenance of
cranes.
─ Persons with comprehensive knowledge
regarding the relevant technical rules,
directives and safety regulations applicable in
the respective country.
─ Persons receiving regular training from ABUS.
ABUS assumes no liability for damage due to
incorrectly performed maintenance work done by
unqualified personnel.
ABUS recommends having the maintenance work
performed by ABUS Service.
Use only original ABUS replacement parts. Otherwise,
all warranty claims will be rendered invalid.
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SAFETY
WHEN PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
WORK
Observe the following safety instructions for any
maintenance work on the chain hoist:
─ Switch off the mains switch. Secure the switch
to ensure it cannot be turned back on
accidentally.
─ Unplug the mains disconnector plug from the
socket on the crane panel. Secure the socket
with a padlock to ensure it is not plugged back
in accidentally.
─ Use suitable lifting platforms and fall protection
equipment.
─ Adequately cordon off the operating range
around the lifting platform.
─ Switch off any other cranes using the same
crane track or cranes working above or below
the crane undergoing maintenance. Secure the
switches to ensure they cannot be turned back
on accidentally. Otherwise, other cranes could
overturn the hoisting platform or crash into the
crane undergoing maintenance.
─ Notify personnel in the area that maintenance
work will be performed.
─ Only trained electricians should work on the
crane electrical system!
─ Even after pressing the emergency stop button,
life-threatening high voltages are still present in
the chain hoist.
