Please observe the following safety instructions:
Fire brigade snap hooks are used for connecting and securing loads or equipment. To ensure safe use, the following instructions should be observed:
1. Intended Application and Suitability
- Fire brigade snap hooks must only be used for their intended applications.
- Before use, ensure that the snap hook is suitable for the intended load and specific application.
- Observe the specified maximum lifting capacity. This must not be exceeded.
