A usage of the device which differs from usages which are described in this
manual can cause damages of the device. In this case the warranty expires.
Additional you should notice that every different usage is related with
dangers and can cause e.g. an electrical short, fire, electric shock or crash.

Danger of life!
You have to observe the regulations of BGV C1 (formerly VBG
70) and EN60598-2-17 Installations are to carry out by
skilled personnel only.
The suspension devices have to be build and measured so they
can withstand for an hour the tenfold of the payload without
suffering a permanent detrimental deformation.
Basically installation has to be made by using a second separate suspension.
This can be e.g. a suitable net. The second suspension must be designed and
attached so no part of the installation can fall down in case of failure.
During construction, reconstruction and deconstruction unnecessary stay in
the range of moving areas, on lightning bridges, under elevated work
stations or any other danger zones is forbidden.
The operator is obliged to following safety-related and mechanical facilities:
Before the first start-up or after critical changes before restarting it has
to be checked by an expert.
Review in the frame of the inspection test at least all four years by an
expert. .
Review by a qualified person at least once a year.
