Adjusting the height of the base frame upper part
• Remove retaining clip
• Adapt the usable height to the height of the load by adjusting the base frame upper part.
• Fix the base frame upper part in height with the pin and the pin with the retaining clip.
Use of the securing chain (mandatory for application on sites)
• Sling the securing chain included in the supply around the load on pallet and tighten it.
• Attach the loose end of the chain in the eye on the beam provided for this purpose.
Lifting/depositing the load with adjustment of the load centre of gravity
• Always lift or deposit the crane fork slowly in order to avoid tilting of the load.
• In unloaded condition, use the last suspension eye lock at the rear.
• Slide the crane fork suspended in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) under the load to
be picked up until the load centre of gravity has a max. distance to the vertical beam as is
specified by the load centre of gravity distance indicated on the identity plate for the crane
fork. The suspension eye of the crane fork must always be positioned in the lock which is
perpendicular above the centre of gravity of the picked up load – and it must be held there.
• The rope or the chain of the crane used must always be vertical above the suspension eye in
order to avoid sudden movement of the load during lifting. It may be necessary to adjust the
position of the hoist for this purpose.
• The position of the loaded crane fork can be checked by carefully and slowly lifting the
suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.). The load lifting attachment must be freely suspended
and have an inclination of min. 5° to the rear.
Attention: The load centre of gravity must not be shifted beyond the max. position for
the centre of gravity.

ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment must be inspected:
• in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company,
• prior to initial operation,
• before the unit is put into service again following a shut down
• after substantial changes,
• however, at least once per year, by a competent person.
Attention: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities) can
dictate shorter inspection intervals.
