The winch is equipped with two safety switches, which turn the winch off on
the upper and the lower stop.
After the cable has been extended, several turns remain on the cable drum
when the winch is turned off. This is necessary for safety reasons and de-
sired.
If the cable winch is not able to lift a weight, immediately switch off the winch
in order to avoid damage and accidents.
Ensure the load is securely fastened onto the lifting hook and keep clear of
load and steel cable during operation. Never walk underneath a raised load!
When lowering a load, please remember that the winch can run on for a few
centimetres when stopping, so always stop the winch in good time!
Pay attention at all times that the steel cable is never deflected by more than
15°.
Only use the cable winch up to its maximum load capacity. For load capacity,
see the technical data.
The motor is equipped with a temperature fuse against overheating by
overload. After a resting time for some minutes you can use the unit again.
The intermittent operation defines the proportion between the resting time and
the operating time. The intermittent operation is calculated in an ambient
temperature of 40°C within a cycle time of 10 min = 100%.
During an intermittent operation of 70% the operating time is about 7 min.
after a resting time of 3 min.
Please note that by increasing the load the max. operating time is smaller and
the resting time longer. If the load is less heavy the operating time will be
longer.
