record is to show the history of the machine and should include statistics relating to operating times, average hoisting heights and
loadings. Failure to keep such a record could invalidate any claims regarding possible machine defects within the first 10 years of
operations.
CONTROL
MODES
All hoisting (up and down), travel (left and right) and sliding (back and forth) movements, but in case of manual executions, are
electrically activated and can be controlled by means of a push button control pendant or of a radio remote control.
All movements can be activated either by means of push buttons or of actuators which activate the function as they are pressed. Slow
auxiliary speeds, if provided, can be activated as follows:
• By means of separate actuators or push buttons, that activate “slow” speeds independently of “fast” ones.
• By means of a sole double snap scaled actuator or push button, where the first snap controls the “slow” speed while the
second controls the “fast” speed.
The push button control panel, if supplied, is equipped with an emergency stop red mushroom push button which stops the machine,
when pressed all the way down.
To restart the machine, it is necessary to bring the stop push button back into its “lifted” position, thus permitting the consent to start,
and then push the start button.
The push button control panel allows the operator to operate near the load.
The machine can be controlled also by means of a radio control, the push buttons’ or actuators’ functioning remains unchanged from
that of the push button control panel in its hanging or sliding execution.

If the machine is operated by means of a radio control, the push button control panel is not connected to the machine, therefore

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Before operating the machine, it is necessary to:
• Read carefully the technical documentation.
• Know which safety devices are installed on the machine and where they are located.
• Learn how to operate the emergency stop devices and their location.
Some activities such as assembly and maintenance (e.g. assembly of wire rope) may expose operators to dangerous situations, it is
therefore crucial to follow the following instructions:
• The expressly trained staff should be familiar with the operating procedures they must follow, with the potential danger
situations which might arise as well as with the best ways to avoid them.
• If, in order to allow a particular maintenance operation, technical intervention, inspection or repair, staff members in charge
have to completely or partially deactivate, remove or open protections, it will be their duty, when that particular operation is
finished, to bring the machine back into use checking that no foreign objects (e.g. parts, tools etc.) where left behind which
may cause malfunctioning and damages to persons or things.
• In order to preserve their own as well as other people’s safety, staff members in charge of maintenance, inspections and
repairs shall, before performing their duty and inasmuch as possible, take all necessary safety measures.
They shall, in particular:
Ensure electrical power to the machine was disconnected and the relevant preventive measures (blocking devices, warning
notices etc.) were taken in order to prevent the machine from being accidentally started.
Pay great attention if, in case of electrical maintenance or repair, they have to service the machine while the power supply is
connected.
RESIDUAL
RISKS
WARNING
Following an in-depth analysis of all hazards present in the operation and use phases of machines in any possible configuration and
of the relevant accessories, all necessary measures were taken in order to eliminate, inasmuch as possible, risks to operators and/or
limit or reduce relative risks from dangers which can not completely be eliminated at the source.
Yet, the following residual risks remain, which can be avoided or reduced through the following prevention activities.
