Overhead rigging
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the DIN 15560 and the respective national norms during the
installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
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.
Machine-technical installations in the sense of these instructions are all technical installations and working
material used for operating places of events and productions for scenery presentations.
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.
If the device shall be lowered from the
ceiling or high joists, professional trussing
systems have to be used. The device must
never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution:
Devices in hanging 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.
