A. Notes on Rigging Safety
Please read these instructions carefully before you begin setting up the system!

1 Use

1.1 Intended Use

Specifications for intended use include the
following:
• When rigging enclosures, make sure that the load
is centered directly under the suspension point on
the rigging frame.
• The rigging frame may be tilted (not to be
confused with curved!) no more than 10% (6°).
Note that the specifications for intended use
require you to read and heed all of the operating
instructions and comply with inspection and
maintenance requirements.
Any use other than specified is unintended. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for damages
resulting from unintended use.

1.2 Unintended Use

Improper use of rigging frames and incorrect
handling of this load-carrying equipment can pose a
serious danger. Never
• use rigging frames to exert diagonal force or
tension on loads,
• use a crane to dislodge stuck or immovable loads,
• lift people,
• strike, knock or dent rigging frames,
• heat-treat or weld rigging frames,
• exceed the truss's maximum load-carrying
capacity
Note that in addition to the above specifications,
the operational safety regulations of VBG 9
(accident prevention regulations of the German
employers' liability insurance association) apply.
