INTRODUCTION
Products of CMCO Industrial Products GmbH
have been built in accordance with the state of-
the-art and generally accepted engineering
standards. Nonetheless, incorrect handling
when using the products may cause dangers to
life and kmb of the user or third parties and/or
damage to the hoist or other property. The
operating company is responsible for the proper
and professional instruction of the operating
personnel. For this purpose, all operators must
read these operating instructions carefully prior
to the initial operation.
These operating instructions are intended to
acquaint the user with the product and enable
him to use it to the full extent of its intended
capabilities. The operating instructions contain
important information on how to operate the
product in a safe, correct and economic way.
Acting in accordance with these instructions
helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs and
downtimes and to increase the reliability and
lifetime of the product. The operating
instructions must always be available at the
place where the product is operated. Apart from
the operating instructions and the accident
prevention act valid for the respective country
and area where the product is used, the
commonly accepted regulations for safe and
professional work must also be adhered to.
The personnel responsible for operation,
maintenance or repair of the product must read,
understand and follow these operating instructions.
The indicated protective measures will only
provide the necessary safety, if the product is
operated correctly and installed and/or
maintained according to the instructions. The
operating company is committed to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation of the product.
CORRECT OPERATION
- The unit is used for vertical lifting and
lowering of loads up to the indicated max.
load capacity. In combination with trolleys,
loads can also be moved horizontally.
-An y d iff e ren t o r exc eed i ng us e is
considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon
Industrial Products GmbH will not accept
any liability for damage resulting from such
use. The risk is borne by the user or operating
company alone.
- The load capacity indicated on the unit is the
maximum working load limit (WLL) that may
be attached.
- If the hoist is to be used for frequent lowering
from large heights or in indexed operation,
first consult the manufacturer for advice
because of possible overheating.
- The top hook and the load hook of the unit must be
in a vertical line above the load centre of gravity (S)
when the load is lifted, in order to avoid load sway
during the lifting process (Fig. 1).
- The selection and calculation of the
appropriate supporting structure are the
responsibility of the operating company.
- The operator must ensure that the hoist is
suspended in a manner that makes it
possible to operate the unit without exposing
himself or other personnel to danger by the
unit itself, the suspension or the load.
- The operator may start moving the load only
after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
- 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 hoist may be used at ambient
temperatures between -10°C and +50°C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of
extreme working conditions.
ATTENTION: Before use at ambient
temperatures of less than 0°C, check the
brake for freezing by lifting and lowering a
small load 2 - 3 times.
- Prior to operation of the hoist in special
atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic,
alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g.
molten compounds,
