Emergency descent
The load lifting equipment can be lowered manually in the event
of a power failure.
DANGER!
Risk of being injured by falling objects!
The centrifugal brake might not brake the load in case of
overloading!
–
In the event of overloading, never open the service brake
(spring-applied brake) manually.
See Fig. 15.
The centrifugal brake prevents rope speeds that are too high
when lowering manually.
For an emergency descent with low loads, increase the weight
using ballast and / or carefully pulling on the rope.
–
Remove the lever (1) from the anchoring.
–
Insert the lever (1) into the brake bracket through the slot in
the hood of the motor (2).
–
Lift and hold the lever. The load is lowered.
–
Let go of the lever to brake.
–
Anchor the lever again after use.
10.4
Switching off when overloaded
Hoists with a mechanical or electrical load limiting device:
When delivered, the load limiting device has been set in such a
way that it deactivates the hoist at the latest once the load
reaches 1.25 times the load bearing capacity. A warning signal
sounds when deactivating.
Jamming of the load lifting equipment may also lead to deactiva-
tion.
When overloaded:
–
Lower or release the hoist until the load has reached the
ground.
–
Reduce the load until no overload is present.
When jammed:
–
Lower or release the hoist until the load hangs freely again.
–
Remove the obstacle before lifting the load again.

Operating without limit switch (hoist for lifting)
Not adhering to the stipulated maintenance periods
Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
Incorrect hoist installation, commissioning, operation, main-
tenance or repairs
Poor monitoring of the parts and the accessories, which has
resulted in wear occurring
Carrying out incorrect and unauthorised repairs
Use of non-original spare parts
Alteration of safety device settings
Ignoring measurements and checks that would detect early
signs of damage

Press the DOWN button and pull the rope upwards out of
the hoist.
–
T-Model series:
Press the UP or DOWN button and pull the rope out of the
hoist.
DANGER!
Danger of death due to electric shock!
–

the plug.
–
Pull out the power plug.
–
Roll-up the rope correctly so that no loops in the rope occur
that make the rope unusable.
–
Loosen the anchorage of the hoist.
–
Dismantle the deflection rollers and load bearing points.
