Attention must be paid to the properties of the rope (above-mentioned points) during
the manual sliding of the rope.
If the rope has one of the above-mentioned properties, the use of the device must be
stopped. The rope must be replaced by the manufacturer or a person authorised by
the manufacturer.
The material abrasion and brake dust resulting from the use of the device gets
partially transferred from the device on to the rope. This results in discolouration of
the rope (grey-black), but it does not have an adverse effect on the properties of the
rope.
6.5. Checking the handwheel
The handwheel should be checked for fixed sit and operability.
If the handwheel cannot be rotated anymore or if it shakes or rotates without
resistance, the use of the device must be stopped.
