9. Using the accessory – pick-up and manoeuvre
Use, load pick- p and manoe vre with the accessory m st be
made with great attention, delicately and witho t jerking. The
safety latch opens man ally by applying press re to the device
itself and it closes a tomatically as a res lt of the strength of
the spring. This safety latch does not hold the load nder
tension, that is the pick- p element is slack, precisely to permit
nhooking. For this reason, always check that it is the hook
which s pports the load.
! ATTENTION
The safety latch must never
support the load
Do not introd ce more than two arms into the hook, and when
there are two, ens re that maxim m angle
formed by vertical and straight line of load
is not more than 45°.
10. Restrictions on use.
Using the accessory for p rposes which
are not anticipated, its improper se, its
se in dangero s conditions and the fail re
to carry o t maintenance can all lead to
situations of serious danger to persons
thus exposed as well as to the work
setting, and can also affect the f nctioning
and safety of the accessory negatively.
The actions indicated below, which obvio sly do not cover all
possible examples of ‘bad use’ of the accessory, are however
those which co ld reasonably be predicted. So:
NEVER se the accessory to lift and move persons,
animals and things different from those which the hook is
designed to be sed.
NEVER raise loads with the point of the hook.
NEVER raise or move loads in flight (i.e. aircraft) nor se
the accessory to drag bo nd loads.
NEVER operate in areas where the se of non-
flammable/spark-proof components is req ired or in the
presence of strong electromagnetic fields.
NEVER weld metallic elements to the accessory, add
welded elements or se it as a weight for welding
p rposes.
11.Spare parts, inspection and maintenance.
This incl des operations of maintenance, carried o t by
personnel who have been trained for the p rpose, concerning
checks d ring se and possible actions as anticipated in the
‘Table of maintenance and check-up operations’.
The accessory m st be s bjected to the following checks:
visual: check for the presence of s rface defects s ch as
cracks, incisions, c ts or fiss res, abrasions.
functional: check the accessory and the connecting link
can move freely, the safety latch carries o t the f nction
of nhooking, and especially the spring keeps the
blocking mechanism f nctioning.
deformation: check that the accessory does not lose its
shape by meas ring its critical dimensions as indicated in
fig re 1 with a calliper.
wear: check that points of contact are not worn o t by
meas ring its critical dimensions as indicated in fig re 1
with a calliper.
state of preservation: check for the presence of
excessive oxidisation and corrosion, above all in cases
where it is sed in the open air; check for the presence of
cracks with s itable methods (e.g. penetrating liq ids) .
Records of these checks m st be kept safe
Please contact the man fact rer for any spare part
ATTENTION ! Always use original spare parts
The man fact rer declines any responsibility in case of
breakage, malf nction or damage to persons or properties
res lting from the se of spare parts that are not original.
12. Demolition and scrapping of the accessory
If the accessory sho ld t rn o t to be deformed , worn o t or at
the end of its life span as indicated by the man fact rer, and
therefore no longer sable, it m st be demolished and
scrapped.
