1.2 Proper use of electric chain hoists
Electric chain hoists are designed to lift and to lower loads vertically and to travel horizontally with lifted loads (using
trolleys).
The manufacturer's liability for losses due to the improper use of electric chain hoists is excluded. All risks are borne
by the operator.
Electric chain hoists may only be operated by persons who have been trained for this by the operator. They must be
familiar with these Operating instructions, which should be available at all times. Do not operate the electric chain
hoist until all operators have thoroughly familiarised themselves with the contents of these Operating instructions, and
have acknowledged this by signing the designated field on the rear cover of this booklet.
It is also the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all suspension points of the
electric chain hoist are designed to safely withstand the forces exerted. The electric
chain hoist may only be operated if it has been suspended as specified and if thereby it
is ensured that during the lifting process at any time the outgoing chain can safely run
out of the hoist due to its own weight. Disregarding the above instruction will cause the
chain to jam and thereby the hoist to be damaged.
Prior to first use please make sure that all electrical connections were made as
specified, that all wires are intact, and that power to the device can be disconnected
from the mains using a master separator switch.
Only qualified persons (experts) may perform works on the electric chain hoist, and only
after the master switch of the crane has been switched off and locked, and the work
area has been secured.
These Operating instructions serve the safety of the works performed on and with the electric chain hoist. The below
safety advice must be observed under all circumstances. When compiling these safety instructions we did not strive
for completeness. You should keep this manual clean, complete and in a legible condition.
Should you have any questions or problems, please contact your competent local representative.
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damages or malfunctions
due to any of the following causes:
• Improper operation;
• Voluntary modifications to the hoisting device;
• Unprofessional work on and using the hoisting device;
• Operational errors;
• Non-compliance with these Operating instructions.
