Safety Advice

SAFETY MUST ALWAYS BE THE FIRST PRIORITY!
•
If you are unsure of any aspect of moving loads with the system stop and seek
professional advice on the appropriate usage of the system.
•
Never run the system without all and emergency stop switches connected and in
position. “Cheater” plugs (where supplied) are for the purpose of maintenance and
fault-finding only, and should never be used to bypass the emergency stop system
during a performance.
•
Ensure all operators and maintenance personnel are aware of the location of
emergency stop switches.
•
Test the emergency stop system daily.
•
Never operate hoists without having a clear view of the load or reliable communication
with an observer
•
If an unexpected move presents a potentially hazardous situation, use the emergency
stop button to bring all axes to an immediate stop.
•
Use extreme caution when using any limit bypass facilities in the system.
•
Carry out a full risk assessment for your particular application.
•
Only allow competent personnel to operate the system.
