 Functional Checks 

 

2.1

 

  Sheave Movement 

Open the device and perform the following checks on the Sheave: 

 

Ensure that the Sheave is able to rotate anti-clockwise and emits an audible clicking sound. 

 

Check that the Sheave is not able to rotate clockwise. 

 

Check that the Sheave is firmly attached to the Sheave Swing Arm without excessive axial movement, 
i.e. >2mm. 

 

2.2

 

  Sheave Swing Arm Movement 

 

With the device open, start with the Control Handle in the Stop position. Press the Sheave into the pinch 
area and check that the Sheave is able to swing into the Chassis and make contact with the stainless 
steel Friction Shoe.   

 

Release the Sheave and move the Control Handle to the Stand By position while observing the position 
of the Sheave and Sheave Swing Arm. The Sheave and Sheave Swing Arm should move to the left, 
rotating anticlockwise until the rope-path laser etching becomes visible on the inner surface of the 
Chassis.   

 

With the Control Handle in the Stand By position, press on the Sheave and check that the Sheave is able 
to swing into the Chassis and make contact with the stainless steel Friction Shoe. 

 

Check that the Sheave Swing Arm is firmly attached to the Chassis and inspect the rivet on both sides for 
damages.
