operation, maintenance, transport, etc.)! The end-user is respon-
sible for ensuring that all personnel follow these instructions and
guidelines.

Instructions and safety instructions

This manual uses instructions and safety instructions for prevent-
ing injury and damage to property. To clearly identify them for
personnel, the instructions and safety instructions are distin-
guished as follows:
• Instructions appear in bold and refer directly to the
preceding text or section.
• Safety instructions are slightly indented and bold and
always start with a signal word.
• Danger
Serious or fatal injuries can occur!
• Warning
Serious injuries can occur!
• Caution
Injuries can occur!
• Caution (instruction without symbol)
Substantial property damage can occur. Irreparable
damage is possible!
• Safety instructions that refer to personal injury appear
in black and are always accompanied by a safety symbol.
Danger, prohibition or instruction symbols are used as
safety symbols.
Example:
Danger symbol: General hazard
Danger symbol, for example, electrical current
Prohibition symbol, for example, Keep out!
Instruction symbol, for example, wear protective
clothing
The safety symbols used conform to the generally applicable
directives and regulations, such as DIN and ANSI.
• Safety instructions that only refer to material damage are
printed in grey, without safety symbols.

General safety

• The lifting unit must be switched off before any work is
performed (installation, dismantling, maintenance, instal-
lation). The lifting unit must be disconnected from the
electricity network and secured against reactivation. All
rotating parts must have come to a standstill.
• The person operating the switchgear must notify his or her
supervisor immediately should any faults or irregularities
occur.
• The end-user must shut down the equipment immediately
if defects occur that represent a safety risk. These include:
• Failure of the safety and/or monitoring devices
• Damage to the collection reservoir
• Damage to electrical devices, cables and insulation.
• Do not work alone when installing and removing the
lifting unit in sewage shafts. A second person must always
be present. Furthermore, adequate ventilation must be
provided.
• Tools and other objects should be kept in their designated
places in order to ensure safe operation.
• During welding and/or work with electrical devices, make
sure that there is no risk of explosion.
• Only use lifting devices that are indicated as such and
approved for this use.
• The lifting devices must be adapted to the corresponding
conditions (weather, suspension unit, load, etc.) and be
stored carefully.
• Mobile operating equipment for lifting loads must be used
so that the stability of the operating equipment is guaran-
teed during use.
• During the use of mobile operating equipment for lifting
non-guided loads, take measures to prevent them from
tipping over, shifting, sliding, etc.
• Take measures to prevent anyone standing under sus-
pended loads. Furthermore, it is prohibited to move sus-
pended loads over working areas occupied by people.
• If using mobile operating equipment for lifting loads, get
a second person to coordinate the procedure if necessary
(e.g. blocked visibility).
• The load to be lifted must be transported so that no-one
will be injured if there is a power failure. Furthermore, if
such work is being carried out outdoors, it must be can-
celled if the weather conditions worsen.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substantial
material damage.

Electrical work

DANGER due to electrical voltage!
Improper procedures during electrical work may
result in fatal injuries caused by electric shock!
Such work may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Ingress of moisture into the cable will result in
damage to the cable and the lifting unit. Never im-
merse the cable end in a liquid, and make sure the
cable end is protected against the ingress of mois-
ture. Strands that are not used must be insulated!
The lifting units are operated with three-phase current. The
governing national directives, standards and regulations (e.g. VDE
0100) as well as the requirements of the local energy supply com-
pany must be observed.
The person operating the lifting unit must know where it is sup-
plied with power and how to cut off the supply. A residual-cur-
rent-operated protection switch (RCD) must be provided. In lifting
