What Not To Do - Verlinde STAGEMAKER COMPACT SM1 Installation & Maintenance Manual

2 - What not to do

Never move or lift the hoist by the electric cables.
Do not set down the hoist without having an adapted support, to avoid
damaging the components on the underside (electric cable, lifting chain,
fixed point, PG cable gland, chain bucket...).
Never modify the hoist unless the manufacturer has studied and
authorized the modification.
Never modify the values and adjustments of the safety components,
outside the limits provided for in the manual, or without the approval of the
manufacturer.
Never try to repair or intervene on the hoist (welding...) without the
authorization of the manufacturer or a trained maintenance agent.
Do not let an unqualified person use the hoist.
Never lift more than the maximum working load indicated on the hoist. Shocks or accidental collision of the load with objects
can cause excess loads.
Never remove the hook safety catches.
Never block, adjust or remove the limit switches or stops to go higher or lower moving distances.
Never swing the load intentionally.
Never sling onto the hook jaw (as there is a risk of damage to the hook
and of the load falling).
Never use a hook other than in the vertical position.
Never twist the load chains (turning the hook block around...).
Never distract the operator while the hoist is being operated.
Never leave a suspended load hanging.
Never use the hoist as grounding for welding.
Do not use the hoist for a purpose or in an area for which it is not intended.
Do not expose the hoist to an inappropriate atmosphere (temperature,
acidity... Refer to 6.7: Environmental data).
Do not use the safety components as operation components.
Do not use the controls needlessly (avoid inching - stop-start operation of the buttons). This can cause overheating and even
damage to the hoist.
Never angle pull the load, maximum angle 3 degrees.
Do not use the hoist with a power supply that is different to the one recommended (undervoltage or overvoltage, absence of
phase...).
Never transport a load with people nearby. Do not move the hook, with or without a load, over personnel.
Never use the hoist to extract, loosen, or pull sideways.
Never use the hoist to transport people.
Do not touch the moving components.
Do not operate the hoist if your physical condition does not allow it.
Never use the hoist when in bad repair (wear, deformation...).
Never use suspect spare parts or parts whose origin is not known.
Never swing the load intentionally.
Do not subject the hoist to loading shocks.
Do not use the mechanical stops as a repetitive means of stopping.
Never use the lifting chain as a sling.
