absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions
and warning notes written in this user manual. Damages caused by

Operating Determinations

This hook or half coupler is designed for installing projectors,
lighting effects etc. on a truss system with a tube diameter of 50
mm. The maximum load must never be exceeded. In case the
maximum load of the hook or coupler is too low, you either need to
install two hooks or couplers or a different kind with a higher
maximum load. This product is designed for professional use, e.g.
on stages, in discotheques, theatres etc. Make sure that the area
below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or
servicing.

Installation Instructions

DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the DIN 15560-27 and the
respective national norms during the installation! The
installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation
has to be approved by an expert.

 The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a

way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any
harming deformation.

 The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety

attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety
attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the
installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

 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: a) an expert before taking
into operation for the first time and after changes before taking
into operation another time. b) an expert after every four year in
the course of an acceptance test. c) a skilled person once a year.

 The device should be installed outside areas where persons may

walk by or be seated.

 The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
 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.

 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.

 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 truss system via the clamp. For

overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond. You
must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links
complying with DIN 56926, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677­1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles
and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used
correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations
(e. g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).

 For overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of

safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only
give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the
current safety instructions and consider them. The manufacturer
cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect
installations or insufficient safety precautions!

 The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm. A safety

rope which already hold the strain of a crash or which is defective
must not be used again.

Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine­technical installations are inspected by: a) an expert after every four
years in the course of an acceptance test. b) a skilled person once
a year. The following points have to be considered during the
inspection: a) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of
the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
b) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and
installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).

Observe prescribed testing deadlines: a) Once a year by an expert.
b) Every four years by a skilled person. c) Before every use for
breakage and function by the operator.

Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
