Do not use the chain end stop as an operational limit device.
The load must not be moved into areas which are not visible to the operator. If necessary, he must seek help.
The following are applicable to devices in a trolley:
The longitudinal downward slope of the carriageway must not exceed 0,3 %.
The adjustment of the trolley width must not be extended in order to e. g. obtain a smaller radius curvature.
Any modification of the lifting device is prohibited. A unit modified without consulting the manufacturer must not be used.
Never attach the load to the tip of the hook. The load must always be seated in the saddle of the hook. This also applies to the
suspension hook.
Turning of loads under normal operating conditions is not allowed, as the bottom blocks of the hoists are not designed for this purpose.
If turning of loads is required as standard, the bottom blocks have to be provided with swivel hooks supported by axial bearings. In case
of queries consult the manufacturer.
Do not throw the hoist or trolley down. Always place it properly on the ground.
Never reach into moving parts.
Only one load lifting attachment may be suspended in the load hook of the hoist.
The unit must not be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres.
