INSTALLATION

There are specific regulations like DGUV V17/18 (old BGV C1) or country- related regulations that need to be respected during the installation. Only skilled persons may install the device.

• A suspension device has to be built and calculated in order to handle up to 10 times its specific load limit over a time of one hour without permanent or harmful deformation.
• The installation has to be done with a separate, independent suspension device like a safety chain. A second suspension device has to be built in order to ensure that in case of error, no part of an installation can fall off.
• Trespassing in the danger zone below the installation during the assembly is prohibited.
• The installer has to make sure all safety and machinery installations are approved by authorized persons before the first operation or after changes before restarting.
• The installer has to make sure that all safety and machinery installations are approved by skilled persons at least once a year.
• The installer has to take care of all safety and machinery installations being approved by authorized persons at least every four years during the acceptance inspection.
