2. Intended use

• The device is suitable for the following beams:
I-beam
T beam
• The device is intended for moving suspended loads
up to the stated capacity.
• The working load limit (WLL) stated on the device is
the maximum load, and must not be exceeded.
• Entering the area under a suspended load is not
permitted (Fig. 1).
• Loads must not be left in a raised position over a long
period or without supervision.
• The user must only initiate movement of the load after
he has first convinced himself that the load is properly
attached and that there is nobody in the hazardous
area.
• After the running gear width is set, the eye of the
cross bar (Fig. 5) must be as shown relative to the
beam. Now the support hook of a hoist can be
inserted into the eye. The weight of the hoist will
automatically retain the adjustment of the running
gear.
• When suspending the device, the user must ensure
that the device can be operated in such a way that the
user is not at risk from the device itself, from the
means of support or from the load.
• In the case of running gear without reel drive,
an attached load must be pushed. It must not be
pulled.
• The equipment can operate at an environmental
temperature between –10 °C and +50 °C. If
conditions are extreme, the manufacturer must be
consulted.
• It is essential that the accident prevention and safety
regulations for manually operated lifting gear
applicable in the country or region where the device is
employed are observed.
• The device must immediately be taken out of
operation if it malfunctions.
• Selection and dimensioning of the appropriate
support structure is the duty of the operating
company.
• The gradient of the track must not exceed 3 %.
