Responsible Use of Rigging Equipment
The operation of ETC Rigging
™
equipment requires responsible use and specific training.
Only authorized, trained personnel should operate rigging hoists and their associated
control stations. Unauthorized use, alteration, or use for situations other than those for
which it was designed may cause damage to the equipment, other property damage, or
injury to persons, potentially of a severe nature. All safety precautions must be observed
and adhered to at all times.
Read and obey the following warning statements to ensure safe and consistent use of your
ETC Rigging system.
W A R N I N G :
Only properly trained and authorized persons should operate ETC Rigging
systems. Operation by untrained persons may result in damage to the
system, other property damage, serious injury, or death.
W A R N I N G :
When operating an ETC Prodigy Hoist, the user must have an unobstructed
view of the entire line set and its attached load. If the user’s view is
obstructed, a second person (spotter) MUST be used to assist the operator
at all times. The spotter must have an unobstructed view of all moving
components and be able to maintain clear communication with the operator
at all times.
If a problem arises while a hoist is moving (such as a mechanical issue or
interference from other objects) stop movement immediately by releasing
the move button or using the Emergency Stop button. If a spotter sees a
problem while a hoist is moving, the spotter must signal the user to stop
movement immediately.
W A R N I N G :
ETC Prodigy hoists must only be used to move a maximum load equal to or
less than the capacity of your specific hoist. Overloading the hoist may
result in damage to the system, other property damage, serious injury, or
death.
