3.5.13. Dead end chain mount
WARNING
Danger from falling chain
It is important to ensure that the idle chain (un-
loaded chain end) accumulating on or sagging
from the sprocket does not cause any hazard,
such as from catching, impacting or falling.
There may be hazards from the chain falling if the
idle chain is first deposited on a load with a large
surface when lifting and then slides off and drops.
I
Ensure that the chain does not get caught, hit
anything or fall down.
The last link of the dead end chain mount (un-
loaded chain end) is attached to the empty strand
anchorage (

). This serves the pur-
pose that the empty chain strand does not dangle
so long and thus cannot lead to the hazardous sit-
uations listed above.

3.6. Emissions
3.6.1. Noise emissions
When lifting the nominal load, the sound pressure
level is 78 dB(A). When lowering the nominal load,
the sound pressure level is 80 dB(A).
The decrease of the sound pressure level in the
hall is about 3 dB(A) per distance doubling.
3.6.2. Oil emissions
When operating with oil lubrication of the motor,
small amounts of lubricating oil are discharged into
the environment with the exhaust air.
3.7. Conditions of use
Your product
PROFI 16 TI
is very sturdy and re-
quires very little maintenance. It is suitable for ap-
plications in explosive areas as well as in areas
with increased concentrations of soot, dust, hu-
midity and ambient temperatures from-20
◦
C (-4
◦
F)
to +70
◦
C (+158
◦
F), if it is not heated up further
due to external influences.
The thermal resistance of the chain and hook is
150
◦
C (302
◦
F).
For stationary use outdoors, you must protect your
product against the effects of weather and shorten
the maintenance intervals.
Stopping and securing against the wind is required
upon reaching a critical wind surge pressure. The
critical wind surge pressure depends, among other
things, on the mass and shape of the load to be
lifted.
