OVERHEAD RIGGING
• Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any
flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at
least 50cm from surrounding walls.
• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside
areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight.
• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the
weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary
safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the
installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is
dangerous and may not be considered!
• Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in
overheating.
• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and
machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected
every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still
optimal.
