Never attach the load to the tip of the hook. The lifting tackle must always be seated in the
saddle of the hook.
Do not use the chain stop as an operational limit device.
Turning of loads under normal operating conditions is not allowed, as the bottom blocks of the
hoists are not designed for this purpose. If loads must be turned in normal operation, an anti-
twist swivel must be used or the manufacturer must be consulted.
Only one load lifting attachment may be suspended in the load hook of the hoist.
Never reach into moving parts.
Do not allow the unit to fall from a large height. Always place it properly on the ground.
The unit must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Inspection of the attachment point
The attachment point for the hoist must be selected so that the supporting structure to which it
is to be fitted has sufficient stability and to ensure that the expected forces can be safely
absorbed.
The unit must align freely also under load in order to avoid impermissible additional loading.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Shorten or extend the hand chain
Adjust the length of the hand chain so that the distance of the lower end to the floor is between
500 – 1000 mm.
NOTE: For safety reasons, hand chain links may only be used once.
• Look for the non-welded link of the hand chain, bend to open and discard it.
• Shorten or extend the chain to the required length.
ATTENTION: Always remove or add an even number of chain links.
• Use a new link to close the loose chain ends by bending it (for extending the hand chain, two
new chain links are required).
ATTENTION: Make sure that hand chains are not twisted while they are fitted.
