Persons must not be allowed to stay in the danger zone (see Chapter 2.5). Maintenance and inspection intervals must be observed. Winch units contain parts that are subject to wear or designed for a limited service life. Accordingly, winch units must be subjected to a general overhaul once they have used up their theoretical service life. The owner must order a general overhaul based on the determination of the used-up portion of the theoretical service life or no later than after 10 years of use. The general overhaul must be ordered by the owner and carried out by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the manufacturer. Certain parts of the winch unit must not be surface treated or covered in anyway (painted, covered with adhesive, etc). These are wire ropes, rope guiding parts, valve actuators, operating elements, sensors, optical displays, notice signs and ventilation on electronic units and operating parts. 8 400000 0253
2 Safety 2.4.1 Safety Instructions Regarding Winch Operation Passenger transport is prohibited. In which operation, it is strictly prohibited to guide the wire rope by hand in the winch area and near the rope guiding parts (rope pulleys, rollers, rope channels, etc.) and rope outlets (fairlead, swivel fairlead, top roller, rope trumpet). Deflection pulleys, clevises, chains, ropes, etc, must conform to the applicable regulations (if necessary, consult ROTZLER). 2.4.2 Safety Instructions when Handling Ropes Only the ropes delivered or approved by ROTZLER may be used. When working with ropes, always wear protective gloves. Rope connections, sleeves, press heads, short splices, etc. must not be driven through the drive system/rope drive. Deflecting the rope over sharp edges, corners, obstacles, etc., is prohibited. A rope under burden must not be guided by hand. If required, the rope must be cleaned and checked after each use for deformation and damage (see Service Card 400000 0350). Do not clean the rope with a steam jet blower or high-pressure cleaner. For rope care, do not use engine oil, machine oil or grease. Damaged ropes must be replaced. 2.4.3 Safety Notes for the Mechanic Installation All ROTZLER TITAN winches are designed for an installation position in horizontal axis. In case you request different installation positions (see chapter 8.1), please contact us. The mounting plate on which the winch is fastened, must be sufficiently dimensioned in order to take up the forces during winch operation. The winch must be sufficiently secured during the installation until all mounting elements are correctly attached. 2.4.4 Safety Instructions for the Hydraulic Components For the hydraulic components (installation), the national regulations of the country of use must be ob- 400000 0253 9
2 Safety served. In Germany, the decisive regulation is DIN/ EN 982. Only approved hydraulic tubes may be used. Length, diameter and grade of the hydraulic tubes must meet the requirements. The hydraulic valves adjusted in-factory by the ROTZLER GMBH + CO. KG must not be tampered with. ROTZLER GMBH + CO. KG cannot be held liable for incorrect connection of the hydraulic lines. The duration of use of the tubes should not exceed six years, including a storage period of no more than two years. 2.4.5 Safety Instructions for the Electric Components The winch unit must be secured against overcurrent by means of a fuse. The electric signal lines must be connected in accordance with the installation instructions. When opening electric components, live parts may become exposed. Once maintenance work is complete, these components must be closed again properly. The electric components are splash-protected, but must not be operated underwater! 2.4.6 Protection Devices The following protection devices are installed on the winch. clutch system rope end monitoring device (option) safeguard against overload (option) Protection devices must not be removed, modified or bridged. Protection devices must be checked at regular intervals (see chapter 5). 10 400000 0253
2 Safety 2.5 Danger Zones and Permitted Access Areas The user and other persons required for operation may only stay in the permitted access areas during the operation (load on the rope). Further persons, especially children, and animals must be kept away from the operation site and danger zone. The user is responsible for third parties in the danger zone. The user and other persons required for operation must wear the obligatory personal protective equipment (e.g. helmet, sturdy footwear, gloves, etc.) The user must keep the danger zone and especially the rope movements under observation during the operation (load on the rope). In blind situations, further observation must be ensured by additional persons who use radios as an aid if required. 2.5.1 Danger Zones a) Danger zone during operation The danger zone is declared as the area under the load in close to ropes that are under tension. b) Danger zone of rope outlet and direction of rope on the vehicle In addition to the general danger zone during operation, the complete rope path, particularly at guide pulleys/ rollers, must be regarded as being a danger zone. A hazard of crushing exists there as soon as the winch is operated. This is explained in detail in the general safety instructions in Chapter 2.4. 2.5.2 Permitted Access Areas The permitted access areas during operation (load on the rope) are located in the drivers cab and within protected facilities on the vehicles as well as on the side next to the vehicles. They apply only for the user and further persons required for operation. Absolute safety is also not given in the permitted access areas, so that the effects of damage can not be discounted there. Therefore, check the situation before starting operation and keep your retreat options open. 400000 0253 11
2 Safety Stay alert and keep the rope movements under observation. Move to safety in good time. 2.5.3 Possible Dangers During Operation Systems placed under load may perform unpredictably and cause dangerous movements. This also applies when removing a load from one system. Furthermore, for instance, an incorrectly slung rope may release unexpectedly to cause release of the energy stored in the system under tension, which represents a considerable danger potential to the user, other persons, and animals as well as the hazard of damage to property within the range of released parts of the rope, attachment fitting, or the load, or load point. 12 400000 0253
3 Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Component overview of the winch 3.2 Cooperation of the Components 3 1 Hydraulic oil is pumped to the hydraulic motor (1) respectively via the hydraulic system of the hoisting unit. The hydraulic motor changes the given hydraulic energy into mechanical work and drives the planetary gear of the winch, which is located inside the drum (3) via a drive shaft. The drum serves to take up the rope. The winch is equipped with an automatic, hydraulically released brake. For the exact positioning of the load a hoisting clutch is integrated. The primary and final base (2a, 2b) which are connected by the spacer bar (4) serve for the fixation of the winch. 2b 4 2a TITAN standard winch with (1) piston motor (2a) primary base (MS) (2b) final base (GS) (3) standard drum (4) spacer bar If a load has to be lifted, an increased quantity of hydraulic fluid is supplied to the motor at the pressure connection ROPE IN. The rope is pulled in, the load is lifted. Proportionally to the supplied hydraulic fluid the load is lifted quicker or slower. If the load has to be held, the supply of hydraulic fluid has to be interrupted. The sprag clutch blocks the brake shaft and prevents the load from lowering. Fig. 3.1 Product overview 400000 0253 13
3 Product description If the load has to be lowered, the motor at the pressure connection ROPE OUT is supplied with an increased quantity of hydraulic fluid. Proportionally to the supplied hydraulic fluid the load is lowered quicker or slower. The motor is regulating the release pressure in the brake continuously, so that the lowering of the load is controlled. If the load has to be held, the supply of hydraulic fluid is interrupted and the brake prevents that the load from lowering. 3.3 Options and Accessories 3.3.1 Options The ROTZLER TITAN winches can optionally be equipped with a Measuring Control and Display System (MCD) (to this subject also see manual 791046 5001 for MCD step 1, step 2, step 3 and manual 791046 5002 or 400000 2558 for MCD step 4, step 5). The components of this system are: MCD step 1: rope end control MCD step 2: rope end control and 1-point-torque control MCD step 3: rope end control and 2-point-torque control MCD step 4: combined rope end and torque signals MCD step 5: separate rope end and torque signals Further options: Equipment of the winch with stainless steel screws. 3.3.2 Accessories two drum barrels with grooves Through this also the following technical data will change: Drum diameter Hoisting force Rope length respectively rope storage Rope speed pressure roller for stabilisation of the stored rope on the rope drum. 14 400000 0253
4 Operation 4 Operation Regarding the operation you have to follow the Operating Instructions of the hoisting unit, containing the safety recommendations, as well as the safety instructions in chapter 2 of these instructions. As a basic rule we recommend 1-2 % of the minimum breaking strength of the rope as minimum load. 4.1 Indications of How to Spool on the Rope The following points have to be noted in order to increase the durability of the rope: Very dirty ropes have to be cleaned with clear water and brushed before they are spooled on. In order to achieve a better spooling quality and durability the rope always has to be spooled on with a minimum hook load (see chart below). winch type TC 3 TC 5 minimum hook load 150 300 kg 200 400 kg Tab. 4.1 minimum hook load 400000 0253 15

Checking time approx. 5 minutes. The load must not sink in this condition. Should the load sink, the winch operation has to be finished and the authorised AFTER SALES SERVICES has to be informed General Overhaul (obligatory in Germany) Under normal winch usage the service life is approximately 10 years, after which a overhaul will be mandatory. Under intensive winch usage the service life is approximately 6 years, and approximately 12 years if it is only used occasionally. A general overhaul increases the service life of the winch and reduces the danger of total failure. During a general overhaul the winch undergoes a thorough check, maintenance, and structural components are replaced as required. 18 400000 0253

Cleaning the winch, rope cleaning, rope care Material: Clear water; brush Rope cleaning agent: for ropes of TREIBMATIC winches use only rope cleaning agent ROTZLER order no. 010970 0000 for ROTZLER TITAN and ROTZLER hoist- and pulling winch ropes use grease and oil in accordance with the standards (see ISO 4309 and DIN 15020 sheet 2). Cleaning the winch In extreme environmental conditions (i.e. exposure to salt water and/or extinguishing agent with chemical additives) the TREIBMATIC winch, storage drum and accessories must be checked for dirt deposits. They must be removed to ensure safe operation. Working steps: Do not clean the rope with a steam jet blower or high-pressure cleaner. Saltwater and extinguishing agent with chemical additives may damage the rope guides through deposits and the resulting consequences. This may also result in early wear of the winch and the rope caused by corrosion. If required, use clear water and a brush to clean the winch. The storage drum and the rope guidance between winch and storage drum of the TREIBMATIC winch must be cleaned and rinsed with water. Upon exposure to saltwater and/or extinguishing agent with chemical additives all rights reserved by ROTZLER Upon exposure to salt water and/or extinguishing agent with chemical additives, the device, including rope, storage drum (TREIBMATIC winch) and all accessories, must be cleaned with freshwater. After cleaning, the rope must be treated with a rope preservative (see Rope cleaning ). ROTZLER GMBH + CO. KG Winches, Capstans and Winchsystems P.O.

Rope cleaning In case of dirt, the rope must be cleaned with clear water and a brush. As far as possible, allow the rope to dry. In order to increase the service life of the rope, we recommend to apply a rope preservative (see above). Upon exposure to salt water and/or extinguishing agent with chemical additives, the application of a rope preservative is necessary for avoiding damage caused by corrosion. For the cleaning and care of pulling winch ropes from it is useful to pay out the rope until the red mark at the rope end is visible. Attach the rope at a fix point and apply a pre-tension to lift the rope from the ground. all rights reserved by ROTZLER Rope care Regular care of the rope increases its service life. 46 For TREIBMATIC winches: It is mandatory to use the ROTZLER rope protection agent, ROTZLER order no. 010970 0000. Apply the rope preservative only in a thin layer. Risk of reduced friction power between rope and capstan drum! On TREIBMATIC winches this rope cleaning agent does not impair the friction power between the rope and the capstan drum if applied properly. Moreover, it is easy to use and deeply penetrates the rope structure owing to its favourable flow properties. The rope preservative may only be applied to clean and dry ropes. For ropes of the ROTZLER TITAN and ROTZLER hoist- and pulling winches grease and oil has to be selected according to the usage and operating conditions in conjunction with ISO 4309 and DIN 15020 sheet 2.

Check rope After each use, the rope must be checked for damage, individual wire breakages, deformation and corrosion according to the national regulations of the country of use. Damaged ropes must be replaced immediately! all rights reserved by ROTZLER Ropes are subject to very high stress and do not have ultimate compressive strength. For the safety of the winch unit and of the operating personnel, it is important that the rope is carefully checked. If the rope is used again following a check, it should be cleaned and treated with the recommended rope preservative (see Service Card 400000 0452). In Germany, the decisive regulation is ISO 4309 and DIN 15020. Additional to the standards ISO 4309 and DIN 15020 the following guidelines are valid. The time of discard of the ropes is reached, when: ropes of ROTZLER TITAN winches and ROTZLER HK and LK winches: 2 wire breakages take place over a length of 6 x d, resp. 4 wire breakages take place over a length of 30 x d for ropes Ø = 7, 8, 10 mm, resp.

When handling ropes, you must wear protective gloves! Pull out rope full for a check and check for damage. Below are listed some of the most important rope deformations, which require the rope to be replaced. Reduction of rope nominal diameter by more than 10% Corkscrew-type deformation Kinked rope Contractioned rope Flattening rope Loop formation of wires on the rope Knots on the rope Splicing on the rope Basket formation on the rope Loose wires in the rope Individual wire breakages all rights reserved by ROTZLER The rope preservative recommended by ROTZLER is a special oil (see Service Card 400000 0452). This oil is particularly easy to use and deeply penetrates the rope structure owing to its favorable flow properties. 52 Service Card 400000 0418 Check rope ROTZLER GMBH + CO.
