INSTALLATION
Overhead rigging
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17and the respective national standards during the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for
1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself,
but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or
damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution:
Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's
weight.
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
