Do not use the weighing hook when the safety catch is damaged or there isn't any safety catch.
Work at the appropriate speed
It is completely forbidden to let the load tilt or to let horizontal forces operate. Avoid any type of hit, torsion (twist) or oscilla-
tion( for example when the weighing hook is hanged in a diverted way)
Do not use the weighing hook for cargo transport
Do not linger or walk under suspended loads

To obtain the correct results of weighing it is necessary to respect the following recommendations:
• Use only the devices to hang the load that ensure the suspension of the weighing hook by only one fastening point.
• Do not use devices which are too big to hand the load, devices which do not ensure the suspension of the weighing hook
by only one fastening point.
• Do not use multiple slings.
• Do not drag or move loads with the weighing hook.
• Do not drag the weighing hook horizontally

3.2 HOW TO LOAD THE WEIGHING HOOK

1. Place the weighing hook over the load
2. Lower the weighing hook until it is possible to hang the load on its hook. When
you reach the desired height, reduce the speed.

correctly.
If you place the load using sling ropes make sure that the sling is placed correctly
