8.2 Fastening the Hoisting Rope
If instead of a lifting hook for raising and lowering the unit, the
hoisting rope of the crane is directly attached to the lifting clamp,
and the crane remains at the place of installation, ensure the
rope is routed up to the winch with a minimum of slack.
Hoisting ropes routed with too much slack are
susceptible to damage caused either by constant
flow--induced motion or by the rotating propeller blades.
Refer to section 9.1 in the case of transportable cranes.
9 Installing/Handling the Lifting Gear
(Crane)
If the scope of supply includes a crane, the accompanying set
of crane operating instructions must be followed for installing
the holders/sockets on the wall or edge of the tank.

9.1 Installing the Rope Tensioner / Bollard
SP
OW 384547-00
After the unit has been lowered into the tank, remove the 5--mm
steel cable from the winch of the lifting gear (in the case of
transportable crane, type 4.2/4.4/4.6 or 4.8, belonging to the
KSB scope of supply), wrap the entire length of cable around
the rope tensioner/bollard mounted beside the tank, and leave
it there for the next time it is required.
This, of course, first requires that the rope tensioner/bollard be
installed beside the tank (perhaps below the railing) and
secured with composite anchor bolts (in observance of the
installation instructions for composite anchor bolts in section
3.1) or M10 bolts.
Insert one end of the steel cable through the U--bolt on the rope
tensioner, pull it all the way through, and secure it by tightening
the M5 U--bolt to a torque of 7 Nm.
Wind the cable around the two sheet metal retaining profiles.
Use another U--bolt on the end of the cable to prevent it from
unwinding inadvertently.
Tighten the M5 U--bolt to a torque of 7Nm.
With the mixer in its normal operating position, the
hoisting rope must be unstressed, but without too much
slack. Excessive slack could cause the rope to get caught in the
rotating blades of the propeller. Take care to ensure that no
kinks occur in the rope.
Alternatively, the rope tensioner/bollard could be mounted
directly on the railing.
