Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to
always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it.
Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.
Safety instructions
•
The device is used for vertically lifting and lowering loads up to the maximum load capacity. In
combination with a trolley, loads can also be moved horizontally. The device may only be used
in situation where the load capacity of the device and/or the supporting structure does not
change with the position of the load. Every other use or any use exceeding this is considered
as incorrect. We do not assume responsibility in case of consequential damages. Only the user
bears all risks.
•
When regularly lowering objects from large heights or under clocked operation, the device might
overheat.
•
The upper hook and load hook of the device must be in horizontal line with the load centre (S)
when lifting; thus, you will avoid that the load swings during lifting.
•
The user must make sure that the chain hoist is suspended so that operation is possible without
the user’s or any other person’s being endangered by the chain host, its suspension, or the
load.
•
The user must not begin to move the load before this has been suspended correctly and all
persons have left the danger zone.
•
Nobody must stay or pass by under a load lifted.
•
A load lifted or suspended must not be left without supervision; it must not be lifted or suspended
during a longer period.
•
The chain host may be used under ambient temperatures going from -10 to +50
℃
.
Attention!
Before using the device under an ambient temperature below 0
℃
, the brake must be controlled
for freezing by lifting and lowering a small load twice or thrice.
•
Never exceed the nominal load capacity of the device and/or the suspension and load-bearing
structure.
•
Do not use the device for pulling free, fixed loads. It is also forbidden to drop a load when the
chain is slack.
Danger of the chain breaking!
•
It is forbidden to remove or cover stickers, warnings, or the name plate (e.g., with adhesive
labels).
•
When transporting a load, you must make sure that the load cannot swing or touch other objects.
•
The load must not be moved to zones that the user cannot see. If necessary, the user must call
someone for help.
•
Using the device with a motor is forbidden.
•
The device must not be operated with more than the force of one person.
•
Welding operations performed at the hook and load chain are strictly forbidden. The load chain
must never be used as earth connection when welding.
•
Lateral pull, i.e., lateral stress exerted on the housing or lower block, is forbidden.
•
The load chain must not be used as chain suspension.
•
A device modified incorrectly must not be used.
•
The chain hoist must not be used for transporting persons.
•
The load chain must neither be knotted nor connected with the help of bolts, screwdrivers, etc.
Load chains built in the chain hoist must not be repaired.
•
It is forbidden to remove the safety locks of the upper hooks and/or load hooks.
•
The load must be never attached to the tip of the hook. The load handling device must always
be seated inside the arch of the hook.
•
The chain stop must not be used as operation limiter.
•
Reversing a load is forbidden under normal operation conditions; the lower block of the chain
hoist is not designed for this purpose. If loads need to be reversed during normal operation, an
anti-twist protection must be used or the producer asked.
