Rope winch
Use the rope winch only to lift loads vertically. Any other use is prohibited.
Use only PALFINGER rope winches, ropes and winch components (pulley heads, attaching and safety
material, etc.) for rope winch operation.
Note!
For assembly, weight and use of winch components such as
pulley head, rope, rope diameter, etc. refer to chapter 13 "Technical
Description".
Ropes must be in good condition (see 'Rope discarding', in the maintenance chapter 10).
Assemble the rope winch components before starting work (boom in working position):
Danger!
Failure to maintain the minimum distances represents an
acute risk of fatality for the operator and others.
Keep the required minimum distances to all crushing points (refer 'Danger of getting crushed' in
chapter 2).
For the position of the pulley head and rope refer to the "Technical Description" in chapter 13.
Carry out and complete any necessary assembly works before starting to operate the crane.
Warning!
Turn off the crane power during assembly steps, where
crane movement is not required. Failure to do this will result in an
acute risk of injury (potentially fatal).
