Intended use of the product
The product for general use is an entity which has been designed to perform common lifting, traveling and lowering
operations, within the limits specified by the pro
duct’s duty group (see chapter Duty group). The hoisting machinery
for general use must not be modified or used for any other purpose without the written approval of the
manufacturer.
The hoisting machinery for general use is suitable for use in general manufacturing only; it is not suitable for use in
harsh environments. For more information, see chapter Operating environment. Please contact the manufacturer or
manufacturer’s representative in case of doubt.
The equipment must be positioned directly above (perpendicular to) the load so that there are no side-pulling
forces.
CAUTION
Never allow the product to be used to pull or drag a load sideways. Side
pulling accelerates hoisting machinery wear. The load must always be lifted
clear of the ground before performing traveling movements.
DANGER
DO NOT ALLOW THE EQUIPMENT TO BE USED FOR LIFTING PERSONNEL
UNLESS THE MANUFACTU
RER OR MANUFACTURER’
S REPRESENTATIVE
HAS DECLARED IN WRITING THAT IT MAY BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Modifying the equipment without the permission of the manufacturer or manufacturer’s representative can be
dangerous and can invalidate the equipment guarantee. Any fundamental modifications to the equipment must be
authorised in writing by the manufacturer. Examples of such modifications include:
Welding or otherwise attaching new items to the product.
Attaching devices for special material handling such as turning the load.
Alterations to load-bearing components.
Alterations to drives and speeds.
Replacement of major items such as trolleys.
CAUTION
No modifications or additions to the equipment structures or performance
values are permitted unless they are first discussed with, and approved by, the
supplier of the equipment.
CAUTION
Never use the hoist as an earth reference for welding.
NOTICE
Modifying the equipment without the manufact
urer or manufacturer’s representative
approval can invalidate the guarantee. Furthermore, the manufacturer does not
accept responsibility for accidents which happen as a consequence of unauthorized
modifications.
