this must always be carried out at the smallest
possible distance above the floor.
■Never stand under the bearing or place feet under it.
Avoid all similar hazardous situations.
■The transport and mounting tool must not be used
with accessories, such as a carrying sling, that are
designed for a weight of less than 500 kg.

Basic operation
The transport and mounting tool BEARING-MATE was
developed in order to allow easier transport and
mounting of heavy, rotationally symmetrical parts such
as rolling bearings. The transport and mounting tool
BEARING-MATE is wrapped around the outer ring,
with the two handles facing each other.
Within the specified diameter ranges, the transport and
mounting tool can be adjusted to the various bearing
diameters.
After mounting, the bearing and BEARING-MATE form a
unit . The two opposing handles allow secure lifting
and transport of the bearing.
In order to transport the unit comprising the bearing
and BEARING-MATE by means of a crane, two suitable
carrying slings of equal length must be used.
