matic self-clamping of the two jaws on the wire
rope, with the load equally distributed and held
continuously.

The movements of the forward and reverse
levers are double acting, with the load moving
each time the lever is moved in either direction.

6.2.

blocstop™

safety devices:

Once the blocstop™ safety devices have been
installed they require no action by the operator.
They operate automatically during lifting and
lowering operations.

WARNING 

During lifting operations,

always ensure that the secondary rope is 
sliding freely through the device. If it is not,
the jaws must be opened. Tensioning the
suspension rope automatically opens the
jaws. If they do not open automatically,
change the blocstop™, replacing it with an
equivalent device which operates correctly,
and return the faulty device to TRACTEL S.A.S.
for servicing and repair, or send it to an
approved repairer.

WARNING 

During lowering operations,

an immediate check must be carried out to
ensure that the secondary rope slides freely
through the device. If it does not, a lifting
movement must be performed until the 
suspension rope is tensioned, thus opening
the jaws

7. TAKING OUT OF OPERATION AND 
STORAGE

• Bring the platform to a position 
approximately 0.1 m from the ground.

• Remove the counterweight from the 
secondary rope.

• Unwind the secondary rope from the storage
reeler.

• Extract the secondary rope by hand by pulling
it upwards.

• Totally remove the wire rope from the 
blocstop™

.

reverse lever, first turning it to unlock it.

• Return it to the telescoped position.

• Unwind the wire rope from the reeler.

• Release the device, then carry out the reverse
of the procedure for setting the hoist into opera-
tion.

• Close the jaws of the device before storing it.

• Store the hoist in a dry area, away from 
adverse weather conditions.

7.2.

blocstop™

safety devices:

• Unscrew the two fixing bolts and remove the
blocstop™

from the stirrup on the platform.

cleaning and greasing it (see the "Maintenance"
section), with the two bolts replaced in the holes
in the housing

NOTE : It is advisable to change the brake
nuts each time the device is assembled.

7.3.

Wire ropes:

• Remove the hooks on the wire ropes from the
upper attachment device.

• Attach the hooks to a rope and carefully lower
them down the building.

• An operator must receive the suspension and
secondary ropes at the bottom and wind them
on the wire rope reelers.

• The wire ropes must be totally removed from

WARNING 

: Operation of the lever on

the blocstop™ other than by the suspension
rope is forbidden.

WARNING

blocstop™

in the "open jaws" position, by

any means whatever, is forbidden.
