Mechanical connection

Use only original accessories, in case of doubt consult the manufacturer.
Take care that the carrying capacity / working load limit (WLL) of the lifting device/carrier is not
exceeded, through the load of the device, the optional attaching devices (turning device, fork sleeves,
crane boom etc.) and the additional load of the gripping goods!
Gripping devices always have to be gimballed, so they can swing freely in any position.
In no case it is allowed to mount gripping devices with lifting devices/carriers in a rigid way!
Break of the suspension may occur within short time. Death, severe injuries and material
damage can result!
When using the device on optional attachments (such as fork sleeves, crane boom, etc.), it cannot be
excluded, due to the lowest possible construction of the total device (to avoid loss of lifting height), that
the device may collide with adjacent components if the device is suspended in an oscillating motion
and unfavourable positioning during travel movements of the carrier device. This should be avoided as
far as possible by positioning the device appropriately and in a sensible driving style. Damage resulting
from this will not be regulated within the scope of the warranty.

4.1.1 Lifting eye / Suspension bolt

The device is equipped with a lifting eye / suspension bolt and can be mounted on various carrier /
lifting devices.
Take care that the lifting eye / suspension bolt is safely joined with the lifting tackle (e.g. crane
hook, belt) and cannot slide down.
Transport – and operating position
4.2
When lifting and transporting the device
(KKV 8/14) without a gripping good (cable
channel), the device must be always in the
„Transport position"!
Be careful when changing from transport to operatingposition (and inverse) - risk of injury to the
hands!
