breaks. This relieves the strain on the rope hoist gearbox,
for example.
Note:
–
Please follow the operator's work instructions and safety
measures and the notes in the operating manuals for the
hoisting gear and load lifting equipment.
See Fig. 9 (example).

–
Trigger the fall arrest device via the SAFETY-STOP button.
Re-open the fall arrest device:
–
Move upwards slightly to reduce the strain on the rope.
–
Open the fall arrest device: Turn the manual lever (2) clock-
wise until it latches into place.
–
Re-tighten the safety rope by hand, if necessary.
–
Only continue with the original movement after the safety
rope has been re-tensioned.
