This instruction manual was issued in 2019. It corresponds to directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and council of 17 May
2006 (including its amendments). The LP models are calculated for the case of operation with a shock factor of 1.4 (per DIN EN 818-7 with
max. 8 m/min.). The accidents audited by the laboratory generate smaller shock factors than the normal mode.
0.5 Technical status
When working in a noisy environment, the use of ear protection is recommended.

Table 0-1 Sound pressure level
0.4.3 Sound pressure level
Tests on the chain hoist sound level are performed at a range of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 metres from the centre of the electric chain hoist motor to
the measuring device. Measurement of SPL per DIN 45 635.
The sound pressure level was measured:
a) During operation of electric chain hoists on factory site.
b) During open-air operation of electric chain hoists.
Physical injury:
Death from electrical shock, injury and burns through:
• contact
• faulty insulation
• faulty maintenance or repair work
• short circuit
Causes:
• contact with, touching or standing too close to uninsulated power and live parts
• use of uninsulated tools
• exposed electricity supply terminals following insulation failure
• inadequate safety checks following repair work
• incorrect fusing
Safety options:
• Isolate machinery and equipment designated for repair or maintenance work before commencing such work.
• First check isolated parts for voltage.
• Regularly check electrical fittings.
• Replace loose or damaged cables immediately.
• Always replace blown fuses with fuses of the correct type/value.
• Avoid contact with or touching live terminals.
• Only use insulated tools.
