Draw back the tension rope while inserting the rope lever into the slot on the lower side
of the upper tube. Install the sliding contact into the tube below the upper rope lever and
pull the support rope up into the upper tube. The sliding contact will then be positioned
between rope levers, as shown in the diagram on this page.
•
Now check the distance between the rope levers. This must be a distance of 90mm. The
rope may be too long. In this case pull the support rope out from the upper tube, then
dismantle the end of the support rope and remove one (or more) plastic support part.
Begin the installation of the support rope once more.
•
If using a
9 mm
rope, follow the ensuing instructions.
•
Connect the tension rope with the support rope. See illustration below.

Remove the arrestor section (at the bottom of the system).
•
Then feed in the support (lower) rope, starting with the splice end and work your way
down from the drive (top) to the bottom of the system. Lubricate every plastic part lightly
with special grease! Do not overgrease – use a plastic glove and put on a
thin
lubrication grease film.
•
At the bottom, use some clean paper to protect the rope against dust!
•
Now feed in the tension (upper) rope into the upper tube. Lubricate each ball lightly as it
goes into the tube except for the first three; this will remove debris from the tube before it
is trapped in the grease. Pull the rope out of the lower end and complete the connection
of the end parts.
Note:
It is particularly important to lubricate long lifts.
•
Feed the lower rope through the arrestor
•
Complete the ends of both ropes with the rope levers according to the illustration on the
next page.
