When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation
place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes
before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are
approved by a skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including
(but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and
periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these
qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional
structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems
have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution:
Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down!
If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the
device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10
times the device's weight.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of
the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety-
rope through the hole in the mounting-bracket and over the trussing system or a safe
fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope which already has held the strain of a crash or which is defective may not be
used again.
Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation
screws.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be
approved by an expert!
