the knowledge and competence typical of an electrical engineer, those of a mechanical engineer too.
Special recommendations with regard to maintenance:
1. 1. Maintenance operations, if performed correctly, guarantee the safety of operators employed in the use of the hoist and
reduce downtime following breakdowns.
2. A timely performed repair prevents the machine from further deteriorating.
3. Always use, as far as possible, original spare parts and products
