VES-SBE-1250) from FORUM Handling Tools for use on oil

drilling platforms and rigs.

This OMM covers several FORUM Handling Tools models

from the Solid Body Elevator Type Series.

When installed in potentially explosive atmospheres, the

instructions that follow the Ex symbol must be followed.

Personal injury and/or damages to the Solid Body Elevator

may occur, if these instructions are not followed.

This OMM is intended for the operator of the

Solid Body Elevator. It is intended to ensure safe operation

and must be read carefully and kept where it is accessible

for Solid Body Elevator users at all times.

This OMM contains all information on safe and proper

operation of the Solid Body Elevator. Observance of these

instructions is required for safe operation.

In addition, it is necessary to observe all applicable national

and local regulations [e.g. accident prevention regulations
