2. USING THE SHUTTLE WINCH
Spring lock
When you have lifted the load to the desired height, engage the spring lock so that it is
positioned against the coupling. If the load unexpectedly moves down, the lock automatically
runs into one of the two locking holes on the slip coupling, blocking any further movement.
Coupling, bit set and Cardan suspension
The user decides which coupling he/she wants to use. The difference between the
two couplings is that the ball coupling can give way in the case of higher loads. This has
advantages in terms of overloading and preventing damage to the winch. However, the user
does not require the stated functionality of the ball coupling. In that case, he/she can use
the short coupling.
Note: the ball coupling is not a substitute for the slip coupling of the drill that must be set
and applied as described on page 14 of this manual.
We supply a suitable socket wrench-bit combination (size 13) for driving the coupling.
Vibration-free operation: we also supply a matching Cardan suspension as a standard,
which ensures that you can work virtually vibration-free. This at the same time improves
the lifespan of the winch.

After you have installed the winch on the top guide rail, tighten the clamping knob by hand.
The Shuttle is now ready for use.
Parts of the SHUTTLE winch
The three parts of the Shuttle winch that are important to the user:
Spring lock for securing the winch, especially
when loading and unloading goods at heights;
the spring lock prevents the Shuttle carriage
from moving
Coupling for installing the drill and driving the
winch (short coupling or ball coupling)
Clamping knob for securing the winch to the top
guide rail
The winch must be completely flat when
resting on the plastic end plate.
If the winch is not completely perpen-
dicular to the guide rail, the belt in the
winch can double up.

Installation of the Shuttle winch on the top guide rail

1.4 INSTALLATION OF THE SHUTTLE WINCH
Make sure that at the top of your scaffold, you finish with a top rail. This top rail has a flat
plastic end plate (i.e. no semi-balls or two holes).
Installing the Shuttle winch is easy. Position the winch above the guide with the coupling
and the interlock facing you. Now place the clamping strip of the winch in the free opening
of the rail. Lower the clamping strip completely into the rail. The winch now rests on the flat
plastic top plate of the rail. See the image below.
Finally, tighten the Shuttle winch clamping knob by hand. The winch is now ready for use.
