2. General

The Space Saver is a device used to lift or suspend loads. Space Savers are used in the entertainment market but also for permanent support structures in places of entertainment like museums, event venues, theatres etc.

The use of the Space Saver is solely foreseen for professional use as lifting loads is inherently dangerous.

Only skilled persons are allowed to install and use this device. A skilled person in this respect is an individual with relevant technical education, training and/or experience enabling him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards occurring during use of a product.

Space Savers are engraved with the maximum working load corresponding to the 8:1 safety factor in order to meet the German standard for overhead lifting.

Special attention has been taken to safety. Therefore the test certificates indicate multiple Working loads. Depending on the application or local applicable legislation, max working load can be chosen.

Space Savers can be judged as lifting accessories under the EU machine Directive 2006/42/EC as well as German DGUV-BGV-C1 for lifting and holding loads above persons, but also as a joining part in constructions. As for the last application, no harmonised standard is available, therefore no CE Declaration of Performance can be provided.

Doughty has endeavoured to deliver the highest degree of accuracy possible. However continuous improvement of our products is a Doughty Policy. Therefore, product specifications are subject to change without notice.

Readers and users are encouraged to notify Doughty of errors and send in suggestions for improvements. All communications will be carefully considered for future printings of this manual and changes to our products.

Resulting forces in the structure attached shall be verified before applying a load.

3. Scope

The intended use of a Space Saver is to be used as lifting accessory to hang or suspend loads. Loads can be, but not limited to, lighting fixtures, video projectors, sound systems and set pieces.

The Space Saver also enables the clamp / spigot attached to be folded at 90 degrees to the object which it is attached to reducing the storage height. ("Saving Space")

Any use other than that mentioned is considered to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.

WARNING

Check local legislation for the application of use and adapt the use where ever necessary

4. LIMITATIONS OF USE

• The Space Saver can be operated in -20dgr Celsius up to +60dgr Celsius.
• When used permanently outdoors, it is advisable to use stainless steel hardware in order to avoid galvanic corrosion.
• Salt water environments require cleaning with fresh water at least once per week.
• The use of the Space Saver is the sole responsibility of the user.
• To use the Space Saver the user must also observe the safety regulation, the assembly and dis-assembly instructions to be found in this manual.
• All persons who use and service this device have to be acquainted with this manual and must be informed about its potential hazards.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For health and safety reasons people assembling, disassembling, transporting, maintaining and cleaning Space Savers should wear adequate Personal Protection Equipment such as, but not limited to; gloves, hard hats and safety shoes.

Do not exceed the maximum working load engraved on the device.
Make sure the resulting forces on the supporting structure are approved by a skilled person.
All loads imposed shall be considered, e.g. dynamic forces caused by the lifting machinery.
Bolts and nuts shall be tightened by means of a spanner in such a manner they cannot be released by manpower.
When loads are using electrical power, equip-potential bonding shall be put in place.
When used as lifting accessory, Space Savers shall be inspected by a skilled person as often as required but with a minimum of 1x per year.
⚠️ Inspect equipment before every use. Damaged Space Savers shall be taken out of service.
A Space Saver has to be taken out of services immediately if, during use, repair or maintenance serious damages are discovered.

3. Tighten the bolt connection by means of correct tooling.
4. Use a secondary safety device if legislation requires so.

13.Commissioning

Before applying a load, check if all connections are properly made.

⚠️ Before lifting check if all connections are still correct.

⚠️ Check if all parts are in good order.

Repeat after 1 meter of lifting. Vibrations might loosen bolt connections.
