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 may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
When suspending the load lifting attachment, the operator must ensure that neither the load
lifting attachment, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) nor the load pose a danger to
himself or other personnel.
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.
The load lifting attachment may be used at ambient temperatures between –40° C and
+100° C.
Models with protective lining may be used at temperatures between -20 °C and +60 °C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
If long loads are to be transported, we recommend that two or more grabs in combination with
a spreader beam be used to prevent impermissible sway and inclination of the individual
grabs.
Always transport the load slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
The load lifting attachment must only be guided and operated on the hand lever. Danger of
injury!
Make sure that when depositing the load, the crane hook does not press against the load
lifting attachment. The weight of the crane hook could lead to opening of the load lifting
attachment.
Only use crane hooks with a safety latch.
The suspension eye of the load lifting attachment must have sufficient space in the crane hook
and be freely articulating.
In the case of malfunctions, stop using the load lifting attachment immediately.
