OPERATOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TOWER USE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
· Always carry out a thorough inspection of your ECI tower before each use by following the
pre-operation inspection instructions. Do not use a tower that is damaged or doesn’t work
properly.
· Never use the ECI lifting tower with a worn, frayed, kinked or damaged winch cable.
· Do not exceed the rated load capacity recommended by the manufacturer GAYNER.
· Do not use the ECI lifting tower unless all four outriggers have been properly installed with the
safety bolts fixing them in place and the brakes put on the wheels. Do not adjust or remove the
outriggers while the load is raised.
· Do not raise the ECI tower unless the load is correctly positioned, centred and secured on the
forks. The centre of gravity should always be along a vertical line.
· Never install objects that make a large surface for the wind. If it is absolutely necessary please
contact your dealer or the manufacturer (GAYNER) for safety advice.
· If you are going to leave the ECI tower unattended with a raised load make sure it can’t be used
by unauthorised personnel. Unauthorised personnel could try to use the tower without adequate
training, causing dangerous situations.
· All loads must be secured using a secondary safety system such as slings, cables or chains
which must be oversized i.e. have adequate safety margins, to ensure maximum safety.
· Do not subject the ECI tower to a horizontal force or side load by raising or lowering a fixed or
overhanging load or resting a ladder or scaffold against any part of the machine.
· Do not use the ECI tower as a personnel lifting platform. Do not climb on the mast sections or
sit/stand on the forks.
· Do not tamper with, remove or replace any component of the brake winch. Do not grease the
braking mechanism.
· Keep hands away from all moving parts and pinch points when operating the tower. Do not grasp
the winch cable.
· The installer is responsible for adhering to the load capacity specified by the manufacturer, the
safety requirements in the place of installation and the abilities and experience of co-workers.
· Do not remove the manufacturer’s labels; if removed the guarantee will be null and void.
NOTE:
When using this lifting tower in public places or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that
this manual can only give in part. The user must therefore inform himself/herself on the current governmental safety instructions
and take them into consideration when planning the installation..
