ment:

2.6 Carrier, precautions
WARNING Falling carrier
If the load-bearing capacity of the carrier used is insuffi-
cient, the carrier will not be stable. It can topple over and
cause injuries and damage.
u Only attach the hydraulic attachment to a hydraulic
carrier of a suitable load-bearing capacity.
u The carrier must remain stable at all times, even
when the Hydro Magnet has lifted it's maximum load.
u Read the carrier manufacturer's Safety and Operat-
ing Instructions before attaching the hydraulic attach-
ment to the carrier and operating it. Observe all in-
structions.
2.7 Transport, precautions
WARNING Risk of death due to suspended loads
When lifting loads these can swivel and fall off. This can
result in serious injuries or even death.
u Shut off the danger zone in a radius of 20 m around
the Hydro Magnet with a construction fence.
u Never stand underneath or in the swivelling range of
the Hydro Magnet.
u When operating the Hydro Magent, ensure that you
always have a clear view of the load. Let an assistant
instruct you, if this is not possible. The assistant must
be located outside the danger zone.
u When leaving the workplace, lower the Hydro Mag-
net to the floor/ground.
WARNING Risk of death due to loads crashing
down
A loss of drive power always leads to uncontrolled dis-
charge of suspended loads on the magnet plate. Falling
loads can cause serious injury or even death.
u Check prior to commissioning that sufficient drive
power is provided and check the reliability of the
drive.
u Put the Hydro Magnet immediately on solid ground
from when problems in the drive power occur.
u Do not operate the Hydro magnet before operational
safety of the drive and sufficient drive power are en-
sured.
u Switch on the magnet plate only then, when it is
needed to work.
WARNING Injury due to swivelling load
When transporting the load by crane it can swivel and
cause severe injuries and considerable damage to prop-
erty.
u Ensure that no personnel, objects or obstacles are
located in the swivel range of the load.
