7 MACHINE OPERATION
7.1 Lifting a load
Errore. Il segnalibro non è definito.
Lifting loads
There is a risk of crushing body parts while moving heavy loads resulting from mishandling.
Workers must be equipped with standard safety equipment, especially crush resistant gloves
and safety shoes and a protective hard hat.
Lifting loads
Workers performing the lifting of loads must guide the device carefully, without abrupt
movements with using the utmost care. In particular, the hoist and the load must be kept
under constant control during movement.
Working under loads
Working with a lifted load ALWAYS entails a residual risk of the load falling
accidentally.
In this regard, it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to operate and/or stand under the lifted
load.
Make sure that the load to be lifted weight is not greater than the maximum permitted.
Thoroughly inspect the lever chain hoist and all its parts, in particular checking the
hook, the load chain, the braking system and the correct lubrication of the equipment.
Only use the lifting hoist if has successfully passed a check testing its operating
condition.
Attach the load hook to the load to be lifted and make sure it is properly attached.
Hooking the load
Check the connection of the hoist load hook and the perfect closing of the safety latch.
Do not attach the load to the tip of the hook or hang the hook obliquely.
For proper use, the lifting chain must be perfectly vertical.
Move the up/down selector lever to the N position, then rotate the chain pretensioner
control clockwise until the chain is full tensioned, or pull the chain travel limit ring as
far as the automatic coupling of the safety brake (Figure 8).
