For net weight of 25 kg and above, ergonomic handling of Mag-
num-X round slings requires technical equipment, such as pulleys.
$
Note that UV radiation (sunlight) may impair the properties of the
sling.

Use Magnum-X round slings so that the latter may be removed
without damage after the lifting process.
2.2 Material
Magnum-X round slings are textile slings made of liquid crystalline
polymers (LCP) and polyesters (PES) based on EN 1492-2. The round
slings consist of a load-bearing LCP core and a tube mesh made of PES
and LCP to protect the load
3 Operating Magnum-X round slings
3.1 First use
Before first use, the user must inspect the Magnum-X round slings for
compliance with the order, completeness of accompanying documents
(e.g. declaration of conformity and manufacturer certificate) and con-
formance of the data in the accompanying documents with the product
labels. Before each use, manual (e.g. feel for hardening) and visual (e.g.
screening for punctures) inspection of the X-Magnum round sling should
be performed over its entire length. Damaged round slings should be
withdrawn from service (see 4. Inspection, care, repair & decommissio-
ning)
For this, a chart can be created or an inspection card filled out and
saved. Equipping products with RFID tags and electronic documentation
of commissioning speeds up and simplifies the routine described.
3.2 Choosing the right Magnum-X round slings hangers
Determine the load’s weight by weighing or calculation! Find out the
position of the load’s centre of gravity from design documents or calcu-
late it! The crane hook must be positioned perpendicularly to the load’s
centre of gravity, and the length and angle of the Magnum-X round
slings must be determined.
