2 General Safety Instructions
When lifting loads with lifting accessories, persons beneath or alongside the load are exposed to particular risks. Residual risks remain when using lifting accessories. These include in particular:
• an insufficiently secure connection between the lifting accessory and the load,
• swinging loads during lifting, and
• falling loads.
The following instructions must be observed to ensure safe handling of the product.
• Observe the maximum lifting capacity. The product must never be loaded beyond its specified lifting capacity.
• Observe the permissible temperature ranges.
• Avoid contact with acids and alkalis.
• Hooks must be inspected for visible damage (corrosion, deformation) before use.
• Hooks showing signs of deformation must not be used.
• Load hooks only in the bowl of the hook. Hooks must not be loaded at the tip unless specifically designed for that purpose.
• Hooks must not be subjected to bending forces. To avoid bending stresses, hooks must not rest on edges.
• Avoid shock loading and sudden impacts.
• Do not place loads on the product if this could cause damage to the product.
• Never drag the load across the product.
• Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn during all operations.
• The level of risk associated with offshore applications, the lifting of persons, hazardous loads (e.g. molten metals) or similar hazards must be assessed by a competent person as part of a risk assessment
