For this operation, the clamps on the load must have the same spacing to each other as the
attachment points on the spreader beam used.
The operator must ensure that the hoist is attached in a manner that makes it possible to
operate the hoist without exposing himself or other personnel to danger by the unit itself, the
suspension or the load.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a longer
period of time.
The operator should always stand next to the load lifting attachment at a safety distance of
one arm's length.
The load lifting attachment may be used at ambient temperatures between –10° and +50°C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
Prior to operation of the load lifting attachment in special atmospheres (high humidity, salty,
caustic, alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds, radioactive
materials), consult the manufacturer for advice.
Always transport the load slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
The supporting pins or the shackle of the load lifting attachment must have sufficient space in
the crane hook of the attached unit and be freely articulating.
For attaching a load, only approved and certified lifting tackle must be used.
Correct operation involves compliance with the operating instructions and in addition also
compliance with the maintenance instructions.
In case of functional defects or abnormal operating noise, stop using the load lifting
attachment immediately.
