2 - What not to do
N
ever move or lift the hoist by the electric cables.
D
o not set down the hoist without having an adapted support, to avoid
damaging the components on the underside
(electric cable, lifting chain,
fixed point, PG cable gland, chain bucket...).
N
ever modify the hoist unless the manufacturer has studied and
authorized the modification.
N
ever modify the values and adjustments of the safety components,
outside the limits provided for in the manual, or without the approval of the
manufacturer.
N
ever try to repair or intervene on the hoist
(welding...)
without the
authorization of the manufacturer or a trained maintenance agent.
D
o not let an unqualified person use the hoist.
Do not allow unqualified
person use the hoist.
N
ever lift more than the maximum working load indicated on the hoist. Shocks or accidental collision of the load with objects
can cause excess loads.
N
ever remove the hook safety catches.
N
ever block, adjust or remove the limit switches or stops to go higher or lower moving distances.
Never swing the load intentionally.
N
ever use the hoist to extract, loosen, or pull sideways.
N
ever use the hoist to transport people.
D
o not touch the moving components.
D
o not operate the hoist if your physical condition does not allow it.
N
ever use the hoist when in bad repair
(wear, deformation...).
N
ever use suspect spare parts or parts whose origin is not known.
N
ever swing the load intentionally.
D
o not subject the hoist to loading shocks.
D
o not use the mechanical stops as a repetitive means of stopping.
N
ever use the lifting chain as a sling.
N
ever sling onto the hook jaw (as there is a risk of damage to the hook
and of the load falling).
N
ever use a hook other than in the vertical position.
N
ever twist the load chains
(turning the hook block around...).
N
ever distract the operator while the hoist is being operated.
N
ever leave a suspended load hanging.
N
ever use the hoist as grounding for welding.
D
o not use the hoist for a purpose or in an area for which it is not intended.
D
o not expose the hoist to an inappropriate atmosphere
(temperature,
acidity... Refer to 6.7: Environmental data).
Never side pull the load.
D
o not use the safety components as operation components.
D
o not use the controls needlessly (avoid inching - stop-start operation of the buttons). This can cause overheating and even
damage to the hoist.
N
ever angle pull the load, maximum angle 3 degrees.
D
o not use the hoist with a power supply that is different to the one recommended
(undervoltage or overvoltage, absence of
phase...).
N
ever transport a load with people nearby. Do not move the hook, with or without a load, over personnel.
