placed immediately. Observe the information provided by
the hose manufacturer.
– Compressed air hoses must be mounted using cable-strain

struction of the wire rope, rigging and hoist.
– Observe the instructions for transport, storage and cleaning
from page 15.
– Observe the safety specification sheets from the corre-
sponding manufacturer for the lubricants utilized.
– The anchoring devices must comply with the details given in
