Authorized service personnel must periodically check whether the product is being used according to the duty
group. Owners and operators should recognize that any changes to product usage could, if left unchecked, raise
overall maintenance costs and considerably reduce the safe operating lifetime of the product. Changes to any of
the parameters and variables can require the duty group to be revised.
If there will be significant permanent changes in the product usage, authorized service personnel must revise the
duty group and DWP as necessary. Changes to hardware or servicing frequency may be required.

Operating environment
DANGER
USING THE EQUIPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT FOR WHICH IT IS NOT
DESIGNED CAN BE DANGEROUS. IT ALSO REDUCES THE EQUIPMENT
LIFETIME AND INCREASES THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.
If the operating environment deviates from the environment that is specified when the product was ordered, contact
the manufacturer. Solutions are available to enable the product to work in a wide range of operating environments.
If the product that is designed for general use would be used in exceptional ambient conditions or for handling
dangerous substances, consult the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s representative. Notice, for example, that
molten metal is considered a dangerous substance. Examples of exceptional ambient conditions include windy
areas, zones prone to earthquakes, and corrosive atmospheres.
The product that is designed for general use may be used in normal industrial environments which fulfill the
following conditions:
Indoor products must be situated indoors, protected from outdoor weather conditions.
Ambient temperature is specified in the order confirmation. Typically it is between -20 °C (-4 °F) and +40 °C
(104 °F) or +50 °C (122 °F). For hoists that are driven by a frequency converter, the ambient temperature is
between -10 °C (14 °F) and +40 °C (104 °F) or +50 °C (122 °F).
Air quality meets the requirements of the EN standard 14611-1 1999.
Product is not exposed to any corrosive chemicals or an explosive atmosphere.
If the product is used in an area prone to earthquakes, special hazards may appear in case of an earthquake.
Product performance and capacity are designed for altitudes of less than 1000 m (3280 ft) above sea level.
Using the product in higher altitudes decreases its performance.
Relative air humidity must not exceed 90 %.
Note:
There can be extra optional features in your equipment to allow operation in special environments such
as outdoors. In case of doubt, contact your manufacturer or the manufacturer’s representative.
