In hoist operation:
The suctioned load must be lowered immediately after
picking up (e.g. from a pallet or a truck) to just above the ground (approx.
20 - 30 cm).
The load must then be secured by the load securing chain and may only
then be transported to the installation site. To transport the load, lift it only
as high as necessary (recommended approx. 0.5 m above the ground).
It is forbidden to swivel the device over persons. Danger to life!
