8. OPERATING AREA
STL16
must be used, for safety reasons, respecting its minimum area of pertinence, with a correct
distance from other equipment or from the walls of the working place.
We suggest defining this working area with strips on the floor or with special small columns
equipped of chains to avoid the access in the working area to unauthorised persons.
The prescription has the purpose to avoid the transit of people not assigned to the work, in the
safety area, when the load is lifted.
All the manoeuvres of lifting, stopping and lowering must be done at sight with a maximum
attention by the operator. Nobody must stay in the manoeuvre and pertinence area of the
equipment.
During the raising phase of the load
STL16
will advance about 30 cm because of its lifting effect,
while during the descending phase there will be a withdrawing of the same distance (see picture
1). The raising and descending operations must be done by an operator who has a free escape.
