THE TOWER CAN BE LEFT IN ANY INTERMEDIATE
HEIGHT IF NECESSARY. JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE
KAT LOCKS ARE ALWAYS FIXED AND INTRODUCED. IN
THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF CABLE BREAKING THE KAT
LOCKS WILL ENSURE THAT THE TOWER STAYS UP AND
SECURE. YOUR SECURITY IS OUR MAIN CONCERN.
IMPORTANT – HOW TO PLACE THE LOAD ON THE LIFTER
Always load as close to the tower as possible.
Follow the instructions of the next picture to place the load correctly, the
diagram shows the load out of the gravity center, with distances to the lifting
carriage at a maximum lifting. Notice that the maximum load diminishes
according to the distance from the body of the tower.

DESCENT
•
To fold the tower down, first, turn the handle of the winch clockwise to
tighten the steel cable.
•
Once the cable is tense, pull out the no. 5 KAT lock, mantain it always in
lift position but keep it out.
•
While you keep the KAT lock out, turn the handle anto-clockwise to
bring down the corresponding section of the tower.
•
Once the section has been brought down, release the no. 5 KAT lock,
and pull out the no. 4 KAT lock.
•
While you keep the next KAT lock out, turn the handle anti-clockwise to
bring down the next section.
•
Keep repeating these steps, pulling out all the KAT locks left in order
while you turn the handle anti-clockwise.
•
Once the tower has been folded down, place all the KAT locks in the
block position.
TRANSPORT
Turn the handle of the stabiliziers to release tension on the legs in order to pull
them out. Then, place the legs in their transport compartments located at the
base of the tower. Pull out the forks and place them in vertical position. The
tower will be ready for transport.
MAINTENANCE
•
All cables must be checked regularly. Faulty cables must be replaced
immediately. Do not use the lifter with faulty cables as it is potentially
very dangerous. Only use DIN 3060 cables, supplied from an
authorised dealer.
•
The lifter is delivered ex factory completely greased. Depending on its
mechanical use though, we recommend that the crown wheel of the
winch, the pads & bushings of the drive shaft, the handle thread and
the profiles of the lift are periodically greased.
