The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
A skilled person has to approve the flying construction before every use. This approval includes appearance
and load tests when moved in accordance with the BGV-A2 for electrical devices.
Procedure:
The installation should be attached 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. 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 installation has to be attached out of the reach of people.
5.1 Installation on a trussing system
Caution:
Trussing installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts
concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the trussing!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the
installation's weight.
For suspending on crossbeams, split boxes must always use both mounting points.
Attach the upper fixation of a C-hook to the crossbeam and tighten the fixation screw.
For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying with DIN 56926, 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.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety
precautions!
The trussing system must always be earthed!
