2 Safety
Before working with the product, see the section Safety in PROLYTE Trusses User Manual, Part 1: General
instructions. Read the Safety information carefully and pay attention to the information provided.
In addition to the Safety information provided in Part 1, make sure you read the Safety information
provided in this product-specific user manual.

Make sure manuals are available at all times for all users and employees.
3 Limitations of use
Make sure you read the information provided in section Limitations of use in PROLYTE Trusses User
Manual, Part 1: General instructions.
PROLYTE trusses described in this manual are not specifically designed for lifting people. Adequate load
reduction and safety precautions, according to local legislation, must be considered when people are
lifted.
3.1 Allowable loading
For load capacity information, see Chapter 7.
3.2 Structural data
All our trusses are calculated according to the Eurocode 9 (DIN-EN 1999) standard. Eurocodes are
standards based on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).
The structural data provided before January 2016 was based on the German DIN 4113 standard. As this
standard had a different safety principle, the structural values cannot be compared.
TÜV certificates issued after February 2015 are all based on Eurocode 9.

By using excessive force when tightening accessories such as lamp hooks or cell clamps, you may cause
damage to the truss chords.
