equipment requires responsible use and specific training. Only
Only properly trained and authorized persons should operate ETC Rigging
systems. Operation by untrained persons may result in damage to the
system, other property damage, serious injury, or death.
When operating an ETC Prodigy Hoist, the user must have an unobstructed
view of the entire line set and its attached load. If the user's view is
obstructed, a second person (spotter) MUST be used to assist the operator
at all times. The spotter must have an unobstructed view of all moving
components and be able to maintain clear communication with the operator
at all times.
If a problem arises while a hoist is moving (such as a mechanical issue or
interference from other objects) stop movement immediately by releasing
the up/down button or using the Emergency Stop button. If a spotter sees a
problem while a hoist is moving, the spotter must signal the user to stop
movement immediately.
ETC Prodigy hoists must only be used to move a maximum load equal to or
less than the capacity of your specific hoist. Overloading the hoist may
result in damage to the system, other property damage, serious injury, or
death.
ETC Prodigy hoists and QuickTouch+ control equipment should not be
operated by a user until installation and configuration have been completed
by an ETC trained and approved technician. Only ETC trained and approved
technicians are authorized to operate equipment during the installation and
configuration process.
ETC Prodigy hoists and QuickTouch+ control equipment are designed for
the raising and lowering of theatrical equipment within the approved hoist
capacity only. This equipment is not designed to lift or automate personnel
and such use is strictly prohibited.
Disconnect power before servicing this equipment.
