Inserting the battery
Ensure that the battery compartment is free from foreign matter
and dirt and that the battery and the battery compartment are
dry. If required, clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
Next, carefully push the battery into the compartment as far
as it will go. Turn the fold-down handle clockwise by 90° to
the „Locked" position. The battery may only be placed in the
pewag levo hook LH when the unit is switched off.
Important:
• Never try to insert or remove the battery when the fold-down
handle is set to the „Locked" position! This may damage the
locking mechanism.
• Do not use tools or other devices to insert or remove the
battery or to turn the fold-down handle.
• NEVER try to open or repair the battery unit or
to replace the battery cells!

On the battery/casing of the hook, you will find the following
buttons and information symbols:

Description
Press this button to switch
the levo hook on or off.
Shows the charge status
of the battery. If all LEDs
light up, the battery is fully
charged. If only the red LED
lights up, please charge
the battery in the charging
station.
The status display provides
information on upcoming
inspections, errors or other
settings (see explanations in
the text*).
By turning the fold-down
handle clockwise by 90°,
the battery is locked in
the battery compartment.
Turn the handle counter-
clockwise to unlock the
battery compartment.
Opens/closes the swivel
hook. Do not reach into the
swivel range of the hook
as there is a risk of limbs
getting crushed.
* There are two potential reasons why the status display will
light up:
1. The device is malfunctioning
2. The test interval for the device has been exceeded
3. Weighing module (see section 5.4)
4. When switching on the unit
5. Max. load is exceeded (5 tonnes)
6. Pre-defined settings are exceeded (e.g. weight, temperature)
In case of malfunctioning, try acknowledging the fault memory
by deactivating the device using the on/off button. Wait
10 seconds before reactivating the levo hook. If the status
display no longer lights up, the error was temporary. Continue
using the device as normal. If the status display lights up
again immediately or after a short period, the device must be
inspected by pewag austria GmbH or by an authorised pewag
dealer and repaired as required.
For more information, see chapter 8, „Procedure in case of
accidents or faults" and chapter 9, „Cleaning, maintenance,
regular inspections".
5.3 Operating the levo remote
standard radio control
Using the radio control, it is possible to operate the levo hook
within a radius of up to 100m. Ideally, the levo hook should be
within the operator's direct line of vision.
The battery provided must be inserted in the radio control unit
prior to first use. For detailed information on how to do this
correctly, see chapter 9.7, „Exchanging the battery in the levo
remote radio control".
You will find the following buttons and/or information symbols
on the levo remote:
