Operation
Three-phase winches are operated with 24V control voltage. The control device with
2.8 m of rubber cable has one white and one black control button, with direction arrows
for IN and OUT respectively. Pressing the white control button must wind the rope onto
the drum (IN). In the case of wrong direction of rotation on the three-phase winch,
switch two phases, see above under Electrical connection.
There is also an EMERGENCY STOP device coloured red. If the emergency stop is
pressed, it can be reset by turning the red knob clockwise or by pulling the button out.
Attachment of loads
NB Improper attachment of loads can be highly dangerous (see Figs. 7, 8 and 9).
NB
The winch is NOT fitted with limit switches. Always maintain an overview over the
load and the work area. Never leave a loaded winch unattended.
Checking with a test load
Check the winch before first use on a new work site. It is important to check the load-
bearing capacity of the fixing construction. Test it with a maximum load plus 10 %.
Make sure the load is not anchored to the ground or otherwise fixed.
All persons to keep a safe distance.
Daily checks
Before each working day on which the winch is used, the following must be checked:
• Is the winch or hook deformed or otherwise damaged?
•
The rope must not be kinked, deformed or have broken wires.
• The brake function must be intact.
In the event of faults or failures, the winch must be carefully checked and if necessary
repaired by a specialist before reuse. If the rope is damaged it must be replaced.
Continuous inspection
Wipe down the winch as necessary. Check and oil the hook latch.
