3. GENERAL SAFETY RULES

- The lifting tower is an industrial element designed to raise loads vertically, it must NEVER
be used as a platform elevator for people.
- Only place the lifting tower on firm flat grounds checking it is in vertical position. Do not
use wedges or any strange elements to balance the hoist.
- Check legs are correctly assembled and secured by their safety pins.
- Never raise a load without first checking it is correctly supported and centred on the appro-
priate lifting tower supports, so the load only acts vertically.
- Never surpass the maximum load capacity indicated on the lifting tower characteristics label
and on this instruction manual.
- Never use a ladder over the lifting tower or lean against it for any kind of work.
- Beware of any kind of projection above the lifting tower like cornices, balconies, luminous
signs, etc. It is very important to avoid the presence of cables below the lifting tower's working
height.
- Never move the lifting tower when the load is raised. It is inadvisable to make any kind of
movement, even small positioning adjustments.
- Never use the lifting tower over any mobile surface or vehicle.
- Before using the lifting tower, check the cable's state, which must not present any broken
threads or compression. NEVER use defective cables and change cable if in doubt. Only use
steel cable as described on this manual.
- Fix the lever when the load is raised.
- Neither grease nor lubricate the winch brake mechanism. Braking disks were greased with a
special heat and pressure resistant grease.
- No other products must be used to prevent negative influence on brake functioning.
- All sections of the lifting tower must be lowered to transport it.
