3 Technical Data
3.1 Operating and environmental conditions
The hoist must only be operated when the following operating and
environmental conditions are satisfied:
Temperature range

Project-specific changes are possible.
Standard:
minimum: -4°F (- 20 °C)
maximum: 86°F(+30 °C)
with special equipment (e.g. switch cabinet fan, air condition):
above 86°F (+30°C)
Wind speed
Operation / maintenance / repair:
USA: maximum 35 mph (56 km/h)
Other countries: maximum 45 mph (72 km/h)
Assembly:
maximum 28 mph(45 km/h)
Observe the height-dependent change in wind speed. It may be necessary
to cease/prohibit operation of the hoist under extreme weather conditions
(e.g. thunder storm or sand and snow storms), even if the operating and
environmental conditions fall within the bounds of those stated.
The operating company must provide appropriate precautions in this
regard.
Atmosphere at the place of use
The atmospheric composition on-site must be suitable for people to remain
for longer periods in the area. In particular, reduction in the oxygen
concentration as a result of displacement or consumption must be
prevented. The legal limit values for pollutant concentrations/aerosols and
dust in the workplace must not be exceeded.
