7.2.7.6 Magnet operated hook latch trigger
WARNING
STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD!
Magnets can impact the functioning of pacemakers, implanted heart
defibrillators, and hearing aids.
If you wear these devices, follow precautions associated to magnetic forces.
WARNING
Ensure that the hook latch trigger closes the latch properly before lifting a load.
Failure to do so could cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Mind your hands when handling a hook latch trigger.
If the latch trigger is not properly adjusted, it can release the latch
unintentionally causing hand injuries.
Use the adjustment screw to adjust the latch trigger as instructed.
Hook latch trigger is a component that improves handling of the loads. It holds the hook latch open while attaching
a load to a hook, or when removing it from the hook. The latch is triggered closed after the removal or installation.
The latch trigger improves efficiency and safety, as it holds the latch open allowing the operator to use both hands
for removing or installing, for example, a heavy rigging from/to the hook.
Magnet operated latch triggers are designed for hook forgings DIN RSN/RFN 6…25.
