OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4
ranges in which the measuring equipment can be used, as stipulated in the operating
instructions, must always be adhered to. The usage of the equipment in areas which are exposed
to high levels of contamination or corrosion should be avoided. In instances of major temperature
fluctuations, the equipment must be given time to acclimatise before being used.
The measuring equipment is only to be used for lifting and weighing of freely moving loads. A
twisting or stressing of the load must not occur during the weighing process. The equipment must
not be used for lifting people. It is prohibited for loads to be allowed to be dropped or be pulled
along the ground or pulled at an angle.
The maximum load as stipulated in the operating instructions [MAX] must never be exceeded
(this also includes the maximum load stipulated for the crane or the heavy-lifting equipment being
used in conjunction with the measuring equipment).
Whilst operating the equipment any other potential hazardous areas, directly around the
equipment should also be taken into consideration. When the equipment is in operation the
hazardous area must be kept clear of any personnel. Directly beneath the load is of course an
obvious hazardous area, but the danger of, for example a cable snapping, should also be taken
into consideration, and a sufficient amount of safety distance should be observed.
