3.3 General safety instructions
3.3.1 Location
Make sure that the machine is always operated on a firm and safe location.
Always stand outside the danger zone of the load being moved; never stand in the "tangle"
of the rope escaping from the machine.
Use the reel drive when you work with ropes longer than 50m. (see chapter 9.1)
You need freedom of movement. Thus, make sure you have a sufficiently large supporting
surface.
Never use ladders as the supporting surface.
If the location is not suitable

insert the guide pulley and choose a better location.
