5.2 Loading the crane scales
For good weighing results observe the following, illustrations see next page:

Only use load attachment devices which guarantee a one-spot suspension and
where the scales can be suspended freely.

Do not use too large load attachment devices which do not guarantee any one-
spot suspension.

Do not use multiple suspensions.

Do not pull or push the load or the loaded balance.

Do not pull the hook horizontally.
Loading the balance
1. Position the hook of the crane scales over the load.
2. Move downwards the crane scales until the load can be suspended on the hook
of the balance. Reduce the speed when the respective height is going to be
reached.
3. Suspend the load on the hook. Ensure that the safety bracket is closed. If the load
is fixed by slings, ensure that the slings rest completely on the saddle of the
balance hook.
4. Lift-off the load slowly.
When the load is fixed by slings, ensure that the load is well balanced on both
sides and that the slings are correctly positioned
