DANGER!
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. It therefore represents state-of-the-art
technology and provides the highest degree of safety.
Our delivery includes the hoist supplied beginning at its suspension and ending at the load hook and if
supplied with control, the control line/hose that leads to the hoist. Further operating material, tools, load
attaching devices as well as main energy supply lines must be assembled according to the valid rules and
regulations. For explosion-proof equipment, all these parts must be approved for use in area prone to
explosion, or they must be suitable for use in area prone to explosion. The owner is responsible for this.
However, in everyday operation this degree of safety can only be achieved if all measures required are
taken. It falls within the duty of care of the owner/user of the devices to plan these measures and to check
that they are being complied with.
