ranges in which the measuring equipment can be used, as stipulated in the operating
instructions, must always be adhered to. The usage of the equipment in areas which are exposed
to high levels of contamination or corrosion should be avoided. In instances of major temperature
fluctuations, the equipment must be given time to acclimatise before being used.
The measuring equipment is only to be used for lifting and weighing of freely moving loads. A
twisting or stressing of the load must not occur during the weighing process. The equipment must
not be used for lifting people. It is prohibited for loads to be allowed to be dropped or be pulled
along the ground or pulled at an angle.
The maximum load as stipulated in the operating instructions [MAX] must never be exceeded
(this also includes the maximum load stipulated for the crane or the heavy-lifting equipment being
used in conjunction with the measuring equipment).
Whilst operating the equipment any other potential hazardous areas, directly around the
equipment should also be taken into consideration. When the equipment is in operation the
hazardous area must be kept clear of any personnel. Directly beneath the load is of course an
obvious hazardous area, but the danger of, for example a cable snapping, should also be taken
into consideration, and a sufficient amount of safety distance should be observed.
Servicing and examination
Checks to be made before the use of the measuring equipment
The equipment must be checked before the beginning of every workday. . In the course of the
examination, the operator must ensure that,

the present complete system does not conceal any hazards (for example an incorrect assembly).
there are no potential hazards within the vicinity of the operating area and if so the must be dealt
with or rendered safe before operating the equipment.
Regular inspection / Servicing
After every 3 months or after 12,500
measurements, depending on which comes first.
- Check all parts for any excessive wear and
tear.
- Check all dimensions.
-
Check housing for any signs of deformation or
damage.
-
Check all parts and ensure they are functioning
correctly.
After every 12 months or after 50,000
measurements, depending on which comes first.
- Check all load-bearing parts for example hairline
cracks etc. Only trained personnel are to carry out
maintenance.
After every 5 years or 25,000 measurements,
depending on which comes first.
- All load-bearing parts must be exchanged.
After every 10 years or 50,000 measurements,
depending on which comes first.
