NSPECTION EFORE
Prior to initial operation, before it is put into operation again and after substantial changes, the
product including the supporting structure must be inspected by a competent person*. The
inspection mainly consists of a visual inspection and a function check. These inspections are
intended to establish that the hoist is in a safe condition, has been set up appropriately and is
ready for operation and that any defects or damage are detected and eliminated, as required.
*A competent person is a person with professional training, experience and actual operation to
provide the necessary expertise for the inspection of material handling equipment.

NSPECTION EFORE
Before starting work, inspect the unit including the suspension, equipment and supporting
structure for visual defects, e. g. deformations, damage, cracks, wear and corrosion marks.
In addition also check that hoist and/or load are correctly attached.
Inspection of the supporting structure
The supporting structure has to be selected to ensure that it has sufficient stability and the
expected forces can be safely absorbed.
Make sure that no impermissible additional loading may occur as a result of fitting the hoist
(e.g. by side pull).
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Inspection of the trolley
• The clevis of the load bar must be exactly in the middle between the side plates so that the
side plates are evenly loaded.
• Check the adjustment of the anti-tilt device (only type B), the adjustment of the trolley width
and the correct assembly of the clevis load bar.
• The buffers must have been correctly fitted.
• The side plates must be parallel to each other.
• All wheels must be in contact with the beam flange.
ATTENTION: The trolley must never be used on beams with flange widths that exceed
the maximum adjustable width of the trolley.
Checking the travel path
Before starting work, check the unit for faultless passage on the beam. Any existing obstacles
must be eliminated.
In addition, check the correct fastening and position of the end stops.
Before travelling trolleys with locking device, make sure that the locking device is turned open
up to the end stop so that no friction or sparks may be caused. Only then may the trolley be
moved.
ATTENTION: In particular in curved sections, make sure that the stop of the locking
device does not come into contact with the beam flange (danger of sparks)!
