2.1 Authorized use
The device (KIG 2) is only suitable for symmetrical and asymmetrical cones with a cover hole diameter of 625 - 1000
mm.
Take care that the capacity and the gripping range of the device (KIG 2) is not exceeded.
This device (KIG 2) is specially designed for heavy and duty work with fork lift trucks or cranes.
The gripping goods (cones) have to be cured enough to resistant the necessary gripping force of the device.
This device is series equipped with the
following specifications:
●Crane eye for attaching the crane hook
●Fork sleeves for fork lift
●Automatic release (full automatic change-over from “full” to
“empty”)
●Exchangeable rubber metal bars for the gentle handling of cones
●The device is only designed for the use specified in this documentation.
●Every other use is not authorized and is forbidden!
●All relevant safety regulations, corresponding legal regulations, especially regulations of the declaration
of conformity, and additional local health and safety regulations have to be observed.
Prior to every operation the user must ensure that:
●The equipment is suited to the intended operation, the functioning and the working condition of the
equipment is examined, and the load is suitable to be handled.
Any doubts about instructions should be raised with the manufacturer prior to use.
ATTENTION: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground.
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
danger and are therefore forbidden!
Never exceed the carrying capacity/working load limit (WLL) and the nominal width/gripping range of the
device.
All unauthorized transports with the device are strictly prohibited:
The transport of people and animals.
The gripping and transporting of other loads and materials than described in this operating instructions.
Never suspend any goods with ropes, chains or similar at the device.
Gripping of gripping goods with packaging foil, because they could fall down.
The gripping of gripping goods with treated surfaces (such as painting/varnish, coating or the like), because
they could fall down. Treated surfaces lead to a reduction in the coefficient of friction between the
grippers and the gripping good.

Important information or useful hints for the usage.
2.5 Explanation of basic concepts
Gripping range:
●specify the minimum and maximum product measurements of the gripping good, which
can be gripped with this device.
Gripping good(s):
●is the product, which will be gripped or transported.
Opening width:
●consists of the gripping range and the measure to drive over the gripping good.
gripping range + measure to drive over the gripping good = opening width
Immersion depth:
●is the maximum gripping height of gripping goods, conditional of the height of the
gripping arms of the device.
Device:
●is the description for the gripping device.
Product dimensions:
●Are the dimensions of the gripping good (e.g. length, breadth, height
of the product).
Dead weight:
●is the own weight (without gripping good) of the device.
Carrying capacity/working
load limit (WLL*):
●specify the maximum possible load of the device (for lifting of gripping goods).
*= WLL (english:) Working Load Limit
2.6 Definition skilled worker / specialist
Only skilled workers or specialists are allowed to carry out the installation-, maintenance-, and repair work on this device!
Skilled workers or specialists must have for the following points (if it applies for this
device), the necessary professional knowledge.

●The operator is not allowed to leave the control unit as long as the device loaded with load. The load must
always be in the range of vision of the operator.
●While using the device the stay of persons in the working area is forbidden. Except it is indispensable, caused
of the way of using the device, e.g. if the device must be leaded by hand.
●The jerky lifting and lowering of the device with and without load. e.g. caused through driving fast with the
lifting equipment/carrier over uneven grounds is forbidden. Because the gripping good could fall down.
Unchecked movements of the device.
●The stay under lifted load is forbidden.
Danger to Life!
●Do not pull out stuck or tightened loads with the
device.
●Do not lift any components off-centre, because
that could fall down.
●The device should not be opened if the opening
path of the gripping arm is blocked by a resistance
(e.g. other concrete blocks or the like)!

4Installation
4.1 Mechanical connection
Use only original accessories, in case of doubt consult the manufacturer.
Take care that the carrying capacity / working load limit (WLL) of the lifting device/carrier is not exceeded,
through the load of the device, the attaching devices (turning device, fork sleeves etc.) and the additional
load of the gripping goods!
Mechanical gripping devices always have to be gimballed, so they can swing freely in any position.
In no case it is allowed to mount mechanical gripping devices with lifting devices/carriers in a rigid way!
Break of the suspension may occur within short time. Death, severe injuries and material damage can
result!
4.1.1 Standard flange plate
The device is attached to the lifting equipment/carrier with a standard flange plate or a custom made flange
plate connection.
Attaching the device to the lifting equipment/carrier take care that all local safety regulations are observed.
4.1.2 Lifting eye / Suspension bolt
The device is equipped with a lifting eye / suspension bolt and can be mounted on various carrier /
lifting devices.
Take care that the lifting eye / suspension bolt is safely joined with the lifting tackle (e.g. crane hook,
belt) and cannot slide down.
