.. Operation When operating the crank, depending on the direction of rotation, the load goes up or down. When no more force is exerted on the crank, the brake comes into action and maintains the load in position.

A device is placed on the drum to ensure correct winding DANGER! If the rope is not wound in the right direction, the brake will not operate In the event of an error, a safety device is provided to prevent incorrect winding of the rope: the operator gets the impression of turning with no load. In this case, remove the rope and attach it in the opposite direction...

Maintenance The delivered winches are ready to be used (after installing the rope if not supplied by the manufacturer). When using for the first time, lubrication is not required as this has been performed in the factory. Nor is any specific check required. A periodic maintenance check is required once a year. Regularly grease the gears with EP-grade grease for open gears. Regularly and before each use: check the condition of the rope, hook and its safety catch. If the manufacturer does not supply the rope and hook with the device, check that the rope and hook used guarantee a degree of safety corresponding to break factor. Periodically check the correct operation of the brake (static tests: rated load + 0 %) During annual maintenance, do not forget to oil the stop (ref. 00 for models 0, 0, 00 and 0 ref. for models 000 to 00). Recommended oil: ISO VG 0 (for example: Mobil Glygoyle 0). Regularly check the wear of the brake linings. When they are no longer visible, or when the clearance exceeds mm, they need to be replaced. Clearance > mm = maintenance Brake lining Prohibitions for use Before using the winch, check that there is no risk of overloading due to: adherence to the floor, suction, jamming, etc. Take warning against the following improper uses or handling operations: It is prohibited to: Lift loads exceeding the rated load specified on the plate of the device; Unwind the drum completely (keep to extra-turns); Pull sideways; Swing the load; Use the winch to lift personnel; Stand under the load; Use ropes with a diameter and texture not complying with the specifications of this manual (factor ); Use damaged or spliced ropes; Use hooks without catches, not suitable for the loads specified on the device or in bad condition; Insert objects into the moving parts; Work on the device when loaded; Release the drum when loaded; Allow the load to fall freely; Motorise the device Use the rope of the device as a sling; With no load, turn the crank in the opposite direction to lifting (for the 000, 0, 000 and 00 kg models only). If this operation is necessary, it is advisable to disengage or apply a manual force by pulling on the rope. Use handles different from the original ones; Use the devices for operations other than those for which they are designed; Use the winch as a fall-prevention device, regardless of the height of the fall and the load applied. Use parts or components other than the manufacturer s original parts or components; Reeve, positioning the fixed point on the winch. Translation of original manual 8 UK Reproduction prohibited
Important recommendations Long descents can cause the braking system to overheat and damage it. It is strongly recommended to respect a stopping time of several minutes every metres during the lowering stage. This recommendation mainly affects the 000, 0, 000 and 00 kg models. The operating temperature must be comprised between -0 C and +0 C. 8 Statutory, compulsory checks by the user This equipment has been designed to withstand the following tests: Dynamic proof test with factor.. Static proof test with factor. A periodic maintenance check is required once a year. Check the wear of the brake linings regularly. The user must keep a safety log (Art. R..). In compliance with the regulations, the user must keep an inspection book, where all actions and inspections conducted on the device shall be recorded (FEM rule 9). 9 Putting out of operation When the equipment is in a state of decay and likely to create risks, the user is obliged to dispose of the device, i.e. to put it out of operation and dismantle it if required. 0 Frequently asked questions Problem found Possible causes Solutions The drum does not turn when the handle is turned The disengaging lever is too stiff to move it Excessive force needs to be applied to the handle The winch vibrates or whistles The winch is disengaged The cable is installed in the wrong direction and the security device is triggered. The winch is still loaded or the cable is simply under tension. The load to be lifted or pulled is too heavy The brake is overheating. This phenomenon only occurs in the cable unwinding direction. See paragraph The brake linings are too worn. See paragraph 8 The gears have lost their lubrication. Make sure the disengaging lever is in the engaged position. See paragraph. Make sure the cable is installed in the right direction. See paragraph. Check that no loads are applied to the winch and that there is no tension on the cable. See paragraph. Set the load down carefully and check the real weight to be lifted or pulled. The load may not exceed the limit force of the winch. See paragraph. Allow it to cool for at least minutes. The winch needs service. Lubricate the gears. See paragraph Translation of original manual 9 UK Reproduction prohibited
