Operation and Installation Manual
4.9
Increasing the load bearing capacity
Incorrect anchoring! Incorrect usage!
Mortal danger of falling! Danger of being injured by falling ob-
jects!
The load on the deflection roller, rigging and the anchoring
point increases depending on the arrangement of the hoisting
gear, deflection roller and load!
–
The minimum breaking strength of the deflection roller,
the rigging and the anchoring point must be four times
greater than the nominal load of the hoist in the given in-
stallation situation (see Fig. 9 on page X).
The load bearing capacity of the hoist can be increased by reev-
ing the wire rope, see Fig. 9 on page X (F corresponds to the
load bearing capacity of the hoist).
Note:
Reeving the rope reduces the hoist speed.
5
Ropes
Incorrect rope or rope with incorrect diameter!
Using an incorrect rope leads to a danger of falling or injury
through falling objects and the risk of malfunctions!
–
In order to operate safely only use original ropes author-
ized by Greifzug Hebezeugbau GmbH with the correct
rope diameter and the required design.
–
If the load cannot be guided by on-site means then a low-
twist wire rope with a swivel hook or a rope swivel must
be used.
–
The required rope diameter is listed in the table 1 on
page II. The design is listed in the table 5 on page 17.

Necessary accessories
To operate the hoist you require the following accessories that
are not included in the scope of delivery:
Anchoring devices for the hoist (see ' 4.8 Anchoring' on
page 7)
Rigging with a minimum breaking strength that is at least
four times the load bearing capacity of the hoist.
If the suspension rope is deflected or reeved: Deflection
rollers and rigging with a minimum breaking strength four
times greater than the nominal load of the hoist in the given
installation situation (see Fig. 9 on page X).
Maintenance unit
Pneumatic supply line, see 'Pneumatic connection' on page 10.
Other original Greifzug accessories: see ' 6 Optional accessories'
on page 8.
The operator or the system manufacturer is responsible for se-
lecting and using the accessories in compliance with the local
conditions. You must also abide by any other details listed in the
applicable regulations and standards.

Installation and commissioning
9.1
Directives and standards
The following directives and standards are applicable and must
be complied with:
Machine Directive 2006/42/EC
DIN EN ISO 12100
DIN EN ISO 4414
DIN EN 983
Machines for lifting personnel or personnel and materials
(transport of persons):
EN 1808, EN 1808:1999/prA1:2008
Machines for lifting loads (transport of materials):

The operator or the system manufacturer is responsible for en-
suring that the machine is used within the limits specified in these
instructions. The operator or the system manufacturer must also
observe the directives and standards and EN ISO 14121 for the
machine in which the unit will be fitted.
9.2
Checks to be undertaken before
starting the installation
Check the rigging, deflection rollers and anchor-
ing points
–
Check to ensure that the deflection roller, the rigging and
the on-site anchoring point all have the necessary load
bearing capacities, see ' 4.9 Increasing the load bearing ca-
pacity' on page 8.
