7 – Handling - Storage
Given their weight MOTORBOX winches require no special handling equipment.
When stored, these winches must be protected from bad weather in a clean and dry place at a
temperature between -10°C and +50°C.
8 - Installation and set-up
8.1- Installation
The service life of a winch depends on its installation and set-up.
It is essential that you read this manual carefully before installing, using and servicing your
machine.
Any use which contravenes our instructions may create risks. In this case, the manufacturer
cannot accept any liability.
Do not use this machine before having read and understood the instruction manual in its
entirety
Always keep the manual close to the machine, available to the operator and the
maintenance officer
Comply and ensure compliance with the safety rules
Connect to the power supply (see 8.4 Power supply)
Check the rope and hook
While ready to press the emergency stop button at all times and with no load attached, check
that the movement of the hook corresponds to the direction of the arrows indicated on the
control unit.
Check that the brake works: with a nominal load attached, lift the load and lower it again or, in
the case of pulling, pull this load.
Check that the limit switch works.
The winch has been subjected to the dynamic and static tests in the factory (cf. Test record).
8.2-Place of installation
These winches must be installed and bolted to a flat, solid and secure surface capable of
bearing the loads to which it will be subjected. An unsuitable installation site may lead to
serious accidents.
To assess the suitability of the place of installation and its resistance to loads, you must take
into account any possible overloading, the weight of the winch itself and the weight of the
options and/or accessories fitted to it, including all dynamic forces. The winch user is
responsible for determining the place of installation. If in doubt with regard to the suitability of
a place of installation, contact a civil engineer or a statics specialist.
