o Place the power connector (Fig. 1, item 20)
inside the protective casing (Fig. 1, item 17).
o Place the control unit inside the
protective casing (Fig. 1, item 17).
IMPORTANT:
o Ensure that the wire rope does not
accidentally unwind.
o Do not use the lifting wire rope to fasten
the reel to the carrying handle.
o Keep the winch out of reach of persons
not authorized to use it.
12.2 Checks before deinstallation
Before deinstallation, check that:
• The winch is shut down
• The area located directly below the winch
to be removed is secured in compliance
with the applicable regulations.
• The installer has the necessary and
appropriate slings to recover the altotir™
under the required safety conditions.
• The installer has the tools required for
installation (see section 7, Installation).
• The installer must ensure that the
anchoring point of the lifting device
used to deinstall the altotir™ winch is
compatible with the weight of the winch,
in compliance with the applicable
regulations.
• The installer must ensure that there are
no obstacles on which the altotir™ winch
may snag when being lowered.
12.3 Deinstallation procedure
NOTE:
Tractel
®
recommendation:
2 operators required to perform deinstallation
procedure.
Tools: Same tools used for installation (see
section 7, Installation).
12.3.1 Deinstallation of an altotir™
winch mounted on a jib crane
• Using a webbing sling, sling the winch by
its carrying handle. When slinging, make
sure the assembly {jib crane and the
altotir™ winch} is as stable as possible
during and after dismantling.
• Using the 22 mm open end wrench, one
of the operators loosens the flange
fastening nuts (Fig. 8, item 1). The second
operator must securely hold the assembly
{altotir™ winch and the jib crane} to keep
it from swinging or pivoting.
• Using the deinstallation lifting device,
the operator in charge of loosening the
nuts must lift the altotir™ winch slightly
to separate it from the anchoring tube
(Fig. 8, item 11).
• During the removal operation, the
operators must check that no part of the
winch, such as the control unit, power
connector or wire rope, is stuck under
the winch.
-> Removal completed
NOTE:
It is preferable to leave
the jib crane secured to the altotir™ winch.
12.3.2 Deinstallation of an altotir™ on
frame
• Dismantle the idler pulleys (Fig. 11,
items 4 and 5) taking the usual
precautions.
• Using a webbing sling, sling the winch by
the base tube. The altotir™ winch must
be slung so that it is as stable as possible
during and after dismantling.
• Using the 17 mm open end wrench, one
of the two operators loosens the flange
fastening nuts (Fig. 8, item 14). The
second operator must securely hold
altotir™ winch to keep it from swinging.
• Using the deinstallation lifting device,
the operator in charge of loosening the
nuts must lift the altotir™ winch slightly
to separate it from the anchoring tube
(Fig. 11, item 2).
• During the removal operation, the
operators must ensure that no part of
