The other threaded holes on the product are intended for handling single parts only.
You must not lift the entire assembly by using these threaded holes. For handling
the parts, see product workshop documentation for suitable lifting methods and
lifting adapters.
LIFTING EYE SCREWS
If lifting eye screws are used, lifting eye screws must be completely tightened. The
lifting eye can be loaded only if the screw is properly tightened to the frame.
Failure to properly tighten the screw before allowing load pressure on the
lifting eye may cause lifting eye to break and free fall of the product.
If you use mechanical tools for tightening, make sure not to overstrain the shank.
Before lifting, make sure that the rope and/or hook is stretched.
When two lifting points are used, the lifting capacity depends on the angle of the
lifting chains. The angle should not be less than 45°, as shown in the illustration.
When the lifting eye screws are tightened, both rings should be aligned.
The loading capacity calculation applies to temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F)
and 40 °C (104 °F).
Before reuse of lifting eye screws, make sure there are no surface flaws (for example
pits, voids, folds and seams, deformation of the ring, missing or broken threads,
rust, etc.).
The local, national safety standards for machines and lifting-tackles must always be
strictly observed.
Note: The lifting eye must always be removed from the product and replaced with
a screw before operation.
Lifting devices must safely carry the working weight of the product. See “Product
specifications” on page 72.
