5.1 General operating information

CAUTION!
If the lifting straps are guided incorrectly in the hoist
(e.g. the straps become twisted), the ceiling hoist will
automatically turn off.
– Keep the straps straight to ensure they feed into the
hoist correctly. The straps are held taught by the
weight of the hooks.
– Keep the straps freely suspended when the unloaded
hoist is lifting/lowering.
If a user unintentionally traps the hand in the lifting strap
during lifting, the hoist will automatically turn off. The
hoist stops immediately when a hand gets in contact
with the strap inlet.
– Keep your hands away from the strap inlet during
lifting.
CAUTION!
The hand control is protected against splashed water
(IPX4). Extended contact with water will damage the
hand control.
– Do not immerse the hand control in liquids, even for a
short time.
– Avoid any contact with water or other liquids.
