Limitations
Grapples may only be installed on base
machines that meet specifications;
see Technical data
.
Use the grapple within the stipulated load,
working pressure and grasp limits.
See
the information plates and technical data.
Do not alter grapple characteristics with
foreign objects. Where the use of chains
or strops is necessary for lifting, use the
base machine’s lifting hook.
An installed grapple will change the
base machine’s geometry and weight
conditions. Pay attention to the risk of
collision between the base machine,
tools and/or its load.
Take extra care when handling long
objects with regard to the forces of inertia
and the extended risk area.
The risk of a load or part of a load falling
means nobody may be present beneath
a hoisted object.
The grapple may only be used for
objects intended for lifting and under no
circumstances may it be used for lifting
people.
Always rest the grapple on a stable,
flat surface. Make sure the tool cannot
tip over.
Using the product
Before use, make sure nobody is within the base machine’s hazard area. People and property remain
at risk even when the grapple is used correctly.
At startup
Carry out daily checks;
see Service
.
Test the grapple and check that it
functions correctly in every respect.
Maneuver the base machine and tool
using smooth movements. This achieves
greater precision and less wear.
Remain constantly on the lookout for
signs of degraded functions.
Use the grapple in the intended manner
and within its capacity limits;
see
Limitations and Technical data
.
In the event of an accident
Always rest the grapple on a stable, flat surface.
Make sure the tool cannot tip over.
Take care of the environment; make sure no
hydraulic oil leaks out. Use a collection vessel.
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses, then the tool.
