4) Examine the condition of the wire rope:
• Thimble/swaging undamaged?
• For ropes with hook: undamaged safety cover, hooks not bent open?
• Proper rope head, without any obvious damage along the entire length?
Never use the towing rope as an attachment rope and
never wind it around the load! Ensure unrestricted rope
lead-off from the winch! Never pull the rope over edges!
The rope must always be slightly lubricated!
Use common multi-purpose oil or grease for lubricating.
Do not use any lubricants which contain molybdenum
disulphide (MoS
2
) or PTFE.
Always attach the ropes at the top of the suspension
before letting them run into the winch!
B) Fitting the suspension rope
Insert the head of the wire rope from above as far as possible into the inlet
tube of the Yale endless winch.
• While pushing the UP button, push the rope as long as it winds on by itself
and exits again at the bottom.
Running in the rope with the DOWN button may take
the overload switch-off (optional) out of operation.
If the rope does not run in, check whether the rope head is in order and
whether the UP button has been pushed.
C) Loose end of the rope
• The rope must always be able to run out unhindered! The loose end of
the rope must hang freely to be able to untwist or it must be collected
appropriately and must not form any loops.
• In order to prevent the unloaded wire rope from being damaged, fit a return
sheave or another suitable rope guide, if required!
