For the sake of clarity and readability, icons are used to alert readers to important information: Warning of imminent danger. Non-observance poses a risk to life and limb.
1.5 Intended Use The BROSA 0656 electronic system is an overload protection and weighing system for crane systems, an important aid for the operation of cranes. The device provides the operating staff with all the information required for safe operation within target values when lifting.
................................................................ Despite their robust design, BROSA systems must not be used for anything other than the intended purpose. Improper use may endanger the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device in which the system is implemented or other property.
