Failure to follow the instructions of this manual can lead to unpredictable hazards. For any resulting damage or personal injury, HADEF assumes no liability. The unit was designed and built following a risk analysis and careful selection of the harmonized standards that are to be complied with, as well as other technical specifications.
Requirements for the operating personnel The units may only be operated by qualified persons that are appropriately trained and that are familiar with it. They must have their employer’s authorization for operation of the units. Before starting work, the operating personnel must have read the operating and installation instructions, especially the chapter "Safety Instructions".
Basic safety measures Observe installation-, operation and maintenance instruction. Take notice of caution notes at units and in the manual Observe safety distances. Ensure good visibility during operations Use the equipment only for its intended purpose ...
Check the grease level of the bearings regularly Exchange friction surfaces in time and (an exception to this are electric units - maintenance of the brakes must only be effected by HADEF). Protect the device from impact, friction, rough handling and moisture.

Design Ratchet lever hoists are manual hoists with suspension hook for stationary use. They can also be combined with monorail trolleys. Operation by hand through hand chain. Illustration 3 Functions The load is lifted or lowered by pulling one of the chain falls of the endless hand chain of the hoist. A load pressure brake prevents automatic lowering of the load after releasing the hand chain.
DANGER! Hoists up to 10 t capacity, 4 chain falls are suitable for use in the following EX-classification: EX II 2G Ex h IIB T4 Gb or EX II 2D Ex h IIIA T135°C Db or lower classification. Hoists of 10 t capacity, 2 chain falls and up are only suitable for use only in the following EX-classification: EX II 2G Ex h IIB T3 Gb or EX II 2D Ex h IIIA T200°C Db or lower classification.
The hoist must always hang centrally under the beam or under its suspension point. Brake and pawl The brake system needs a minimum load of 3% of the capacity. Only this minimum load makes sure that the load-pressure-brake closes correctly. When the brake closes correctly, the load is safely held DANGER! Working situations with no guarantee that the minimum load is charged, are forbidden!

Make sure the chain is not installed twisted. Make sure the chain links are aligned in one direction. Assemble the chain to the end fastening. Inspection 12.1 Periodic checks Independently from the regulations of the individual countries, lifting devices must be checked at least yearly by a qualified person or licensed qualified person regarding its functional safety.
