If the gripped load is not sufficiently visible over the entire length, the operator must ensure he
is given help.
The lifting tackle may be used at ambient temperatures between –40°C and +100°C. Consult
the manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
Prior to operation of the lifting tackle in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic,
alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive materials), consult
the manufacturer for advice.
Always pull/tension slowly, carefully and close to the ground. Slipping ropes as they may be
caused by a sudden load increase, for example, may destroy the teething.
Correct operation involves compliance with the operating instructions and in addition also
compliance with the maintenance instructions.
In case of functional defects or abnormal operating noise, stop using the hoist immediately.

Do not exceed the max. permissible pulling force (WLL).
Removing or covering labels (e.g. by adhesive labels), warning information signs or the
identity plate is prohibited.
When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with other
objects.
The load must not be moved into areas which are not visible to the operator. If necessary, he
must ensure he is given help.
Side pull, i. e. side loading of the eye is forbidden. Any tensile forces transmitted must only run
parallel to the clamped load.
