Overhead Installation
If the device is to be installed overhead, the following safety instructions are binding:
•
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
- are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test
- are approved by a skilled person once a year
•
When hanging, the device must not be installed in 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.
•
Mount the device with the bracket to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
•
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!
•
Pull the safety bond through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot.
Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
•
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
•
A safety bond which already hold the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
DANGER TO LIFE!
Consider the EN 60335-1:1996 and the respective national norms during the installation!
Installation by authorized dealers only!
