7 Operation
7.1 Proper operation
The proper operational purpose of the hoist is to lift and lower loads. In the case of hoists with trolleys proper
operation includes lifting, lowering, and the horizontal movement of the lifted load.
Improper operation may cause severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
The carrying of people, the dragging, drawing, skewed drawing of loads and the lifting
of stuck loads does not constitute proper operation and are therefore prohibited.
Please consider the following prohibitions for use!
All modes of operation that deviate from proper operation may involve a health hazard and may cause severe bodily
injury and/or property damage. The hoist may only be operated by trained and authorized personnel. It is the
responsibility of the operator to initiate the training and the teaching of the operating personnel.
Please consider and observe all health and safety provisions and national provisions for the use of hoisting devices.
