Stopping:
Stop the
trolley
movement by releasing the
push button step by step to reduce load swing
and brake wear.
You can reduce wear on the hoist and
improve your spotting of the load by learning
to judge the
trolley
drift after power is
removed.

Load Control
The operator must use the correct techniques to properly control the load at all times to prevent uncontrolled
movements such as load swing or rotation.
If the load has a tendency to rotate or swing, a third person can guide the load with a tag line, provided that it is
safe to do so.
Guiding or steadying loads by hand
Guide and steady the load by controlling it with your hands.
WARNING
Never PULL on the load or chain. Only move the trolley by PUSHING on the
load hook or load. If you move the load by pulling, you can get trapped, for
example between a wall and the moving load, and get crushed.
WARNING
Never try to stop load swing with your hands. A swinging load moves with
considerable force. Your hands or body could be seriously injured between the
load and an obstacle or wall.
WARNING
Guiding or steadying suspended loads directly with your hands is prohibited.
Use a tag line to guide the load or a more suitable lifting device. Your hands or
body could be seriously injured between the load and an obstacle or wall.
