While handling and positioning the attachment, the following directions are mandatory:
∂ prohibit access to unauthorised people;
∂ move away from loads before lifting and lowering them;
∂ make sure there is a clear and safe area to move quickly into if the load is about to fall;
∂ forbid other equipment from circulating within the installation area to prevent accidental impacts with
protruding parts;
∂ if necessary, guide the load during the lifting stage and use suitable equipment to keep at a safe distance
from the lifted part or component�
∂ only use lifting equipment with a suitable capacity;
∂ use certified ropes and hooks;
∂ do not use the lifting points to add further loads to the attachment�
The Customer is responsible for providing lifting equipment to handle and position the attachment�
The equipment used (ropes, chains, forklift truck, etc�) must comply with the regulations in
force in the country where the attachment is installed and used and approved for lifting and
handling the attachment, by considering:
- the shape and dimensions;
- the weight and distribution (centre of gravity);
- the intended coupling points�
Avoid impacts and/or pressure on the protruding parts and namely on the guards and controls,
if any�
With regards to using ropes and/or chains:
- before use, check the condition of the ropes and/or chains and, if necessary, have them
replaced;
- follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the ropes and/or chains;
- do not use ropes and/or chains without the relevant label bearing the capacity data�
As the sling angle (1 - fig. 12 on page 42) of the ropes increases, the pulling capacity of the ropes
themselves decreases� Refer to fig. 12 on page 42 and the following table to assess the pull required for
lifting�
do not use the ropes with a sling angle greater than 120°�
