7.2 Loading the crane scales

For good weighing results observe the following, illustrations see next page:

Only use load attachment devices which guarantee a one-spot suspension and where the
scales can be suspended freely.

Do not use too large load attachment devices which do not guarantee any one-spot
suspension.

Do not use multiple suspensions.

Do not pull or push the load or the loaded balance.

Do not pull the hook horizontally.

7.3 Loading the balance

1. Position the crane scales over the load.
2. Move downwards the crane scales until the load can be suspended on the balance. Reduce
the speed when the respective height is going to be reached.
3. Suspend a load. If necessary, ensure that the safety bracket is closed. If the load is fixed by
slings, ensure that the slings rest completely on the saddle of the load attachment device.
4. Lift-off the load slowly.
When the load is fixed by slings, ensure that the load is well balanced on both sides and that
the slings are correctly positioned
