In general there are two methods used for mounting the mast:
☞ DANGER! Do not lean beyond the railings while the cage is moving! Keep
your head, feet and hands inside the railings. Do not run the cage beyond
the mast top!
☞ Do not run the cage unnecessarily! Make sure that the working phases are
finished and check the screw tightening once more before moving the cage
to the next phase!

On the landings can be used two different door systems. The first option is a so called

☞ When installing the limit switch rigid rails pay special attention to the fact that
when the cage is moving the landing rigid rails must not touch the top, bottom
or safety limit switch lever.
☞ The difference between the stopping places of an empty and fully loaded cage
may be 5…8 cm.
☞ Prior to starting work under the cage put in the safety rod and switch off the
disconnecting switch (Q1) in the ground station electric cabinet.
☞ When working on the cage roof on the mast prior to starting the work push the
emergency stop button down and/or switch off the main switch (Q2) in the
cage.
☞ When working on the cage roof use an appropriate harness with which you can
fasten yourself reliably for example to the mast or the cage’s roof structures.

During severe weather conditions and after them pay special attention to the hoist’s
operation and maintenance.
☞ Remove the snow and ice gathered under the cage at the ground station
regularly.
☞ Remove the snow and ice gathered on the cage roof regularly.
☞ In case of a danger of freezing drive the cage to the ground station after fin-
ishing the work.
☞ The frost limit is -25Cº. Do not use the hoist under this temperature level.
☞ In case the mast and/or the hoist cable is covered with ice remove the ice
before operating the hoist.
