Inspecting the load hook and top hook
The hook must be checked as required, but at least once a year, for deformation, damage, superficial
cracks, and signs of wear and corrosion. The actual operating conditions might stipulate shorter inspec-
tion intervals. Hooks that do not meet all requirements must be replaced immediately. Welding on hooks,
e.g., to compensate for wear and tear or damage, is not permitted. The top hooks and/or load hooks
must be replaced if the hook jaw has opened more than 10
% or if the nominal dimensions have reduced
by 5
% due to wear. The nominal dimensions are given in the table below.

Storage
Observe the following information when storing the device or temporarily decommissioning it:
•
Store the device in a dry and clean spot.
•
Protect the device, including all accessories, from dirt, moisture, and damage with a suitable
cover.
•
Protect the hooks from corrosion.
•
A light film of lubricant should be applied to the chains.
•
As the brake discs can freeze at temperatures below 0
℃
, the device should be stored with the
brakes closed. To do this, turn the hand chain wheel clockwise while holding the load shedding.
•
If the device is to be used again after decommissioning, it must first be checked again by a
qualified person.
Disposal
After decommissioning, recycle or dispose of the parts of the device in accordance with the legal regu-
lations.
