Lifting using lifting slings
WARNING
Unintentional change of the geared motor position causing it to fall
If you lift and transport the geared motor using lifting slings, as a result of unfavorable
center of gravity situation or if the lifting slings break, then the geared motor can fall and
cause severe injury.
• Only use lifting slings that are in perfect condition and that can carry the load.
• Only use the lifting slings so that unintentional position changes that could cause the
motor to fall are completely ruled out.
•
Do not attach the lifting slings to the motor connector.
