STARTING THE MACHINE
Before placing the cables on the pulley:
- Make sure that the reduction unit has been filled with oil.
- Check that the electric connections have been made
correctly
and that the terminal box covers have been put back into
posi-
tion.
- After turning the flywheel a few turns by hand, start the
motor
at high speed for a few seconds in one direction and then,
after
a short pause, in the other.
- Wait a few minutes (5 minutes minimum) for the oil to flow
along the channels and lubricate the rotating parts.
- Make sure the brake releases correctly as described in
the sheet enclosed with the winch.
- Run the machine without load for 3 ÷ 5 minutes at high
speed and make sure no anomalies occur. If malfunctioning
occurs, recheck the electrical connection, supply voltage,
absorbed current and/or the way the winch is clamped to its
base. If you are uncertain about anything, contact ITG.
- Make sure that the flywheel always turns freely. Repeat
the last step and recheck.
- At this point, place the cables on the pulley and perform
the first operations.
- Make sure that the counterweight is the correct size and
does not overload the winch and the motor.
WARNING
Never operate the winch under load when the base
fastening bolts are not tight! This may cause serious
damage to the machine!
