The overload alarm device warns the operator with a buzzer sound when the lifting load exceeds the lifting capacity. If the buzzer sounds, immediately move the load into the safety range, or lower the load on the ground.
Be sure to turn the overload alarm device switch ON while the machine is used for object handling.
