Overhead rigging
Install the device out of the public area. Please consider that liquid may be spilt during operation around the
device. The resulting slippery surface can cause accidents.
Please make sure that the inclination angle does not exceed 15°.
This device is constructed for a standing or hanging installation. If the device is to be installed overhead, the
following safety instructions are binding:
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the
nd the respective national norms during the
installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
EN 60335-1:1996 a
The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for
1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself,
but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or
damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
Caution:
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's
weight.
For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds and quick links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN
1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently
dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1,
BGI 810-3).
Please note:
for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be
followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current
safety instructions and consider them.
