Incorrect Operation - Columbus Yale VS III Manual Del Equipo

20
The attachment point and its supporting structure must be designed for the maximum loads to
be expected (deadweight of the unit + load capacity).
The operator must ensure that the hoist is suspended in a manner that makes it possible to
operate the unit without exposing himself or other personnel to danger by the unit itself, the
suspension or the load.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a longer
period of time.
The hoist may be used at ambient temperatures between –10° and +50°C. Consult the
manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
ATTENTION: Before use at ambient temperatures of less than 0°C, check the brake for
freezing by lifting and lowering a small load 2 - 3 times.
Prior to operation of the hoist in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic, alkaline) or
handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive materials), consult the
manufacturer for advice.
Always transport the load in the horizontal direction slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
When the unit is not in use, position the suspension (e.g. bottom block, hook) above normal
head height, if possible.
For attaching a load, only approved and certified lifting tackle must be used.
Correct operation involves compliance with the operating instructions and in addition also
compliance with the maintenance instructions.
In case of functional defects or abnormal operating noise, stop using the hoist immediately.
I O
NCORRECT PERATION
(List not complete)
Do not exceed the rated load capacity (WLL) of the unit and/or the suspension and the
supporting structure.
The unit must not be used for pulling free fixed loads. It is also prohibited to allow loads to
drop when the chain is in a slack condition (danger of chain breakage).
Removing or covering labels (e.g. by adhesive labels), warning information signs or the
identity plate is prohibited.
When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with other
objects.
The load must not be moved into areas which are not visible to the operator. If necessary, he
must ensure he is given help.
Driving the unit with a motor is not allowed.
The unit must never be operated with more than the power of a person.
