EARTHING
Electrostatic ignition hazards can be prevented by
means of safe earthing. In zones 1 and 21, earthing of
the hoists is required. This must be achieved via the
load hook or the load eyes if the lifting equipment is
connected to correspondingly earthed parts (earth leak-
age resistance less than 106 Ω). This also applies to
operation with trolleys or cranes. Their tracks must be
earthed on site. Running wheels and rail surfaces must
never be painted, as this can result in unacceptably
high earth leakage resistance values.
AC E T Y L E N E A N D CO P P E R
When operating JDN products in explosion-hazardous
areas, in which an acetylene-containing atmosphere can
occur, it must be ensured that copper-plated parts are
kept dry in order to exclude the possibility of oxidation
of the metallic copper and the formation of an aqueous
phase, which is capable of reacting with acetylene and
which can result in an explosion hazard.

The specified inspection intervals are valid for use in accordance with the classification (see driving mechanism classifi-

If the hoist is used more intensively the intervals are to be shortened accordingly. The intensity of use must be assessed
using the model for determining the actual operating time (see page 40). All operating hours are translated into full
load hours. The theoretical operating time and the interval hours are indicated in full load hours.

EARTHING
Electrostatic ignition hazards can be prevented by
means of safe earthing. In zones 1 and 21, earthing
of the hoists is required. This must be achieved via
the load hook or the load eyes if the lifting equipment
is connected to correspondingly earthed parts (earth
leakage resistance less than 106 Ω). This also applies to
operation with trolleys or cranes. Their tracks must be
earthed on site. Running wheels and rail surfaces must
never be painted, as this can result in unacceptably
high earth leakage resistance values.
DANGER!
Electrostatic charging may occur at the
plastic surfaces, potentially leading to
electrostatic discharge that can ignite gases
and air mixtures.

The specified inspection intervals are valid for use in accordance with the classification (see driving mechanism classi-

If the hoist is used more intensively the intervals are to be shortened accordingly. The intensity of use must be assessed
using the model for determining the actual operating time (see page 41). All operating hours are translated into full
load hours. The theoretical operating time and the interval hours are indicated in full load hours.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
EARTHING
Electrostatic ignition hazards can be prevented by
means of safe earthing. In zones 1 and 21, earthing of
the hoists is required. This must be achieved via the
load hook or the load eyes, if the lifting equipment is
connected to correspondingly earthed parts (earth
leakage resistance less than 106 ). This also applies to
operation with trolleys or cranes. Their tracks must be
earthed on site. Running wheels and rail surfaces must
never be painted, as this can result in unacceptably
high earth leakage resistance values.
C L E A N I N G P L A S T I C S U R FAC E S
Where JDN Air Hoists or JDN Air Winches feature plastic
parts, these surfaces must only be cleaned using a damp
cloth (cleaning cloth with water). This reduces
electrostatic charging that can arise due to mechanical
friction at the plastic surface.
DA N G E R !
Electrostatic charging may occur at the
plastic surfaces, potentially leading to
electrostatic discharge that can ignite
gases and air mixtures.
AC E T Y L E N E A N D C OP P E R
When operating JDN products in explosion-hazardous
areas, in which an acetylene-containing atmosphere can
occur, it must be ensured that copper-plated parts are
kept dry, in order to exclude the possibility of oxidation
of the metallic copper and the formation of a aqueous
phase, which is capable of reacting with acetylene and
which can result in an explosion hazard.

DA N G E R !
For all air hoist applications, ensure that
the load hook can be lowered all the way to
the ground, in order to prevent a load being
moved to the lower limit position, without
reaching the ground. Danger due to overloading.
DA N G E R !
Never use hoists on the ground if they are not
specifically intended for horizontal pulling.
DA N G E R !
The fatigue strength of chains is significantly
impaired due to extreme corrosion (pitting
corrosion). This causes a danger of fracture.
Hydrogen-induced embrittlement with re-
sultant stress cracks due to highly corrosive
media (e.g. sea water) may affect high-
strength steels (e.g. chains). Danger of
fracture! This process is promoted by so-
called recombination poisons. Examples of
these are hydrogen sulphide, cyanide, arsenic
compounds and rhodanide. If rusty chains
are not replaced for operational reasons,
crack inspections are to be carried out at
intervals of three months.

The specified inspection intervals are valid for use in accordance with the classification (see driving mechanism classi-
fication on the nameplate). The service life is approx. 10 years if the device is used in accordance with its classification.
If the hoist is used more intensively the intervals are to be shortened accordingly. The intensity of use must be assessed
using the model for determining the actual operating time (see page 39). All operating hours are translated into full
load hours. The theoretical operating time and the interval hours are indicated in full load hours.
