Incorrect anchoring can lead to a serious
risk. Before operating the hoist the user
should always check that the anchorage
point(s) for the device or the wire rope are
strong enough to take the force to be
applied.
The anchoring device for models TU6P and
TU12P is a hook fitted with a safety catch. In all
cases, the anchorage must be performed in
such a way that the safety catch is in the
correct closed position, pressing on the tip of
the hook. These recommendations for the hook
on the device also apply to the hook on the wire
rope.
The TU24P model is attached using a
removable anchor pin, which passes through
the two lugs on the housing and is locked by a
lock pin with a two-position (locked or
unlocked) spring clip.
The following operations must be performed to
anchor the device (fasten the anchor pin):
• Move the spring clip on the lock pin holding the
anchor pin in the unlocked position.
• Remove the lock pin from the anchor pin.
• Pull the anchor pin to release it.
• Position the mounting clip on the platform stir-
rup between the lugs on the housing.
• Push the anchor pin back in, re-inserting it
through the lug from which it was previously
removed.
• Replace the lock pin in the hole in the anchor
pin end, pushing it fully in.
• Lock the spring clip on the lock pin, ensuring
that it is correctly locked on the anchor pin so
that the lock pin cannot be removed.
