the contractor. This person must be familiar with the assembly and op-
erating instructions, have sufficient experience, and must be instructed
in the hazards involved in working with the hoist.
No persons may stand under the hoist.
No objects may be stored in the cordoned off area or under the hoist.
The hoist must be operated from outside the danger zone.

during breaks, turn the control panel operation key to off position and remove it and, if
required, secure with padlock (see local regulation).
ATTENTION Never turn the main switches (110V and 480V) off unless it is re-
quired!

off the main switches will drain the battery.
