Outside the area close to the ground or on sites, the load must be secured by means of the
securing chain included in the scope of supply which must be firmly tightened. Eyes are
provided on the vertical beam for fixing the chain.
When the load is appropriately positioned and the suspension eye is vertical above the load
centre of gravity, the inclination angle must be min. 5° to the rear (in the direction of the
vertical beam) when lifted.
When transporting loose material, e.g. roof tiles or building stones on site, a suitable net or a
suitable cage must be used in addition as a protection against falling.
Note: The holes of the protection equipment must be smaller than 50 mm² (see information
sheet "Packaged stones on sites" ZH 1/335).
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a longer
period of time.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
When suspending the load lifting attachment, the operator must ensure that neither the load
lifting attachment, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) nor the load pose a danger to
himself or other personnel.
Prior to operation of the load lifting attachment in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty,
caustic, alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive materials)
consult the manufacturer for advice.
The load lifting attachment may be used at ambient temperatures between –40° C and
+100° C. Consult the manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
The locking pin for adjusting the height of the base frame upper part must always be secured
with the retaining clip.
Always transport the load slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
The load lifting attachment must only be guided and operated on the hand lever. Danger of
injury!
For lifting and lowering, make sure the load is in a stable position in order to avoid accidents
due to tipping, rolling or falling. This also applies to loads stored on the side or underneath.
The operator should always stand next to the load lifting attachment at a safety distance of
one arm's length.
Only use crane hooks with a safety latch.
The suspension eye of the load lifting attachment must have sufficient space in the crane hook
and be freely articulating.
In the case of malfunctions, stop using the load lifting attachment immediately.
