General safety instructions

DANGER!
Danger of severe injuries caused by malfunctions, incor-
rect use and incorrect operation!
– You must abide by the following instructions in order to
ensure safe operation and correct functioning of the
equipment!
– Please observe the special safety instructions for all of
the work to be performed as described in the individual
chapters in this manual.
– Never use faulty or damaged products, accessories or
rigging.
– Never use ropes that are not the specified original ropes
approved for the application. Abide by the details about the
rope type and diameter.
– Rope, products in contact with the rope and rigging must not
be soiled by heavily soiling building materials such as con-
crete, epoxy resin or other adhesive materials. Protect the
products against soiling! Always use brush attachments to
clean the wire rope in an extremely dirty environment.
– If sand-blasting or painting work is carried out in the vicinity
of the hoist, cover the hoists so that the effectiveness of the
brake is not impaired.
– Abide by the rope's withdrawal criteria, see ' 15.4 Care and
maintenance, Rope' on page 19.
– Clean regularly.
– Check that all of the screw connections are tight.
– Replace any damaged parts or have them repaired by a
specialist. Repairs are only to be carried out by a specialist
workshop or by personnel from TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH.
– Never use a high pressure cleaner to clean the rope or
products in contact with the rope! Penetrating moisture will
result in malfunctions and damage to mechanical installa-
tions (e.g. brakes, ball bearings) and the electrical equip-
ment.
