Rotational Handle
Rotational Handle
A rotational handle can be fitted to the column of
the Davit to aid rotation underload. Dependent
on the load lifted, users can experience a range
of efforts.
To ease some of the higher efforts, as well as
using the handle, users can attach a rope to the
front shackles in the head of the davit to support
the rotation.
The rotation should be done in a controlled
manner.
When the rotational handle is attached to the
Davit the following points must be observed:
Attach the rotational handle to the column of
the Davit at a suitable height [Ideal position
should be around hip height]. Secure in place
with the pins provided. [See Figure 1]
Rotate the handle upwards 90° to be
perpendicular to the Davit column. [See
Figure 2].
Push and pull the handle to rotate the Davit.
[See Figure 3].
