The lifting tackle must not be used for lifting loads.
A unit changed without consulting the manufacturer must not be used.
Do not use the lifting tackle for the transportation of people.
Only units fitted with hooks with safety latches must be suspended in the eye. Make sure that
the hook is not too large. The eye must be seated centrally in the saddle of the hook and the
hook must be freely articulating in the eye.
Not more than one rope/cable or rod may be gripped at a time.
A
SSEMBLY
ATTENTION: The unit may only be used for handling uncoated wire ropes (also
uncoated cables) and metal rods of any type.
The lifting tackle is opened by pressing the eye against the pressure force in the direction of
the held clamp body. In this condition, it can be clamped onto the wire rope/cable which is
tensioned or lying straight or onto the metal rod. The clamping jaws close when the pressure
acting on the eye is reduced, the eye is retracted and the spring tension ensures that the lifting
tackle remains attached on the material also without any pulling force.
ATTENTION: After inserting the material, check its position. It must lie centrally in the
guide groove over the entire length of the clamping jaws.
The material can be pulled/tensioned by fitting a rope with safety hook to the eye. After
completing the work process, the rope can be removed from the eye. The clamping jaws of the
lifting tackle are opened by pressing the eye again in the direction of the clamp body and the
material is released again.

NSPECTION
EFORE
NITIAL
PERATION
Prior to initial operation, before it is put into operation again and after substantial changes, the
product including the supporting structure must be inspected by a competent person*. The
inspection mainly consists of a visual inspection and a function check. These inspections are
intended to establish that the hoist is in a safe condition, has been set up appropriately and is
ready for operation and that any defects or damage are detected and eliminated, as required.
*Competent persons may be, for example, the maintenance engineers of the manufacturer or
the supplier. However, the company may also assign performance of the inspection to its own
appropriately trained specialist personnel.
