We refer to the prescribed equipment tests before initial start-up, before putting back into operation and the
regular periodic inspections.
In other countries any additional national regulations must be observed.
1.1
Indications to determine the used part of the theoretical usage life.
For motor driven units.
The equipment (rope hoists, chain hoists, winches as well as crane hoisting units) are classified in drive
groups (duty classification) according to their intended mode of operation, running times and load collectives
and dimensioned according to the requirements derived from these.
They are thus only designed for a limited period of use with regard to the overall dimensioning and
certification.
After the total period of use as elapsed, measures must be taken where parts are checked and exchanged
as per indication by the manufacturer. After that a new maximum usage period is determined. See also the
valued accident prevention regulations, “winches, lifting and pulling devices”.
NOTICE!
Commitment
A general overhaul may only be performed by HADEF or by a specialized company, authorized by HADEF.
2 Safety
2.1
Warning notice and symbols
Warnings and notice are shown as follows in these instructions:
DANGER!
This means that there is a high risk that leads, if it is not avoided, to death or severe injury.
WARNING!
This means that there is a risk that could lead, if it is not avoided, to death or severe injury.
CAUTION!
This means that there is little risk that could lead, if it is not avoided, to slight injury or damage to the device or its
surrounding.
NOTICE!
Gives advice for use and other useful information.
Danger from electricity.
Danger from explosive area.
2.2
Duty of care of the owner
DANGER!
Failure to follow the instructions of this manual can lead to unpredictable hazards.
For any resulting damage or personal injury, HADEF assumes no liability.
The unit was designed and built following a risk analysis and careful selection of the harmonized standards
that are to be complied with, as well as other technical specifications. It therefore represents state-of-the-art
technology and provides the highest degree of safety.
Our delivery includes the hoist supplied beginning at its suspension and ending at the load hook and if
supplied with control, the control line/hose that leads to the hoist. Further operating material, tools, load
attaching devices as well as main energy supply lines must be assembled according to the valid rules and
regulations. For explosion-proof equipment, all these parts must be approved for use in area prone to
explosion, or they must be suitable for use in area prone to explosion. The owner is responsible for this.
However, in everyday operation this degree of safety can only be achieved if all measures required are
taken. It falls within the duty of care of the owner/user of the devices to plan these measures and to check
that they are being complied with.
