SSEMBLY
Inspection of the supporting structure
The supporting structure has to be selected to ensure that it has sufficient stability and the
expected forces can be safely absorbed.
Make sure that no impermissible additional loading may occur as a result of fitting the hoist
(e.g. by side pull).
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Open the trolley clamp by turning the spindle counter-clockwise until the wheels have been
guided over the beam flanges and can be set down on one of the two flanges. By turning the
spindle in the opposite direction, the required trolley width is adjusted so that on both sides of
the flanges a clearance of 1.5 - 2.0 mm is obtained between the wheel flanges and the beam
flange. Turn the locking lever on the spindle (Fig. X, page X) clockwise to secure this
adjustment and clamp it.
For removing the trolley clamp, the locking lever must first be released in order to be able to
release the beam clamp from the beam by turning the adjusting lever.
The load must always be hung in the centre, thinner portion of the supporting pin. Side pulling
is forbidden and causes damage to the side plates, supporting pin or link plates.
1,5 - 2 mm
1,5 - 2 mm
ATTENTION: A trolley must never be used on a beam with a flange width that exceeds
the maximum adjustable width of the trolley (observe total clearance of 5 mm, depends
on model) or with a profile which does not correspond to the profile the trolley has
been designed for.

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.
