3.5.9. Lifting limiter
WARNING
Danger from chain fracture
If the buffers are damaged, unacceptably high
loads may act on the chain when starting the
lifting limiter. The chain may break.
I
Do not use product
I
Have product repaired (replace buffer)
NOTICE
The lifting limiter may only be started in cases of
emergency. The operator must monitor the load
hook movement and stop the lifting movement in
due time. Striking the buffer against the housing
is to be avoided. This may result in damage to the
buffers.
Your product is equipped with a limiter that stops
the lifting movement (
,
→
Figure 6).
In order to achieve a limitation of the lifting move-
ment, a buffer
(1)
is mounted to the bottom block /
load sleeve. If the buffer is moderately deformed
in the boundary layer, the overload protection
switches the motor off.

Danger from chain fracture
If the buffer is damaged, unacceptably high loads
may act on the chain when starting the lowering
limiter. The chain may break.

NOTICE
The lowering limiter may only be started in cases
of emergency. The operator must monitor the load
hook movement and stop the lowering movement
in due time. Striking the buffer against the housing
is to be avoided. This may result in damage to the
buffers.
Your product is equipped with a limiter that stops
the lowering movement (

In order to achieve this, a buffer
(1)
is mounted to
the empty end of the part of the chain.
