Once the trolley width has been adjusted, the clevis of the load bar must be in the illustrated
position relevant to the beam. The top hook of the hoist must only be hung into the clevis in
this condition. The weight of the hoist automatically secures the adjustment of the trolley.
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.
Loads suspended from a trolley without a gear drive must be pushed. The load must not be
pulled.
If the area in front of the load is not sufficiently visible, the operator must ensure he is given
help.
The hoist may be used at ambient temperatures between –10° and +50°C. Consult the
manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
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.
Only use safety hooks with safety latches.
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.

Do not exceed the rated load capacity (WLL) of the unit and/or the suspension and the

When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with other
objects.
