3.2.4 Hoist Control
The TIRAK
®
control is effected
–
by means of a "two-way" hand lever on the motor
(Figs. 10 to 12), or
–
by means of a remote control valve (Fig. 13), con-
nected to the motor with three flexible hoses inside
a covering hose with steel wire rope for strain relief.
Connection to the motor by self-gripping couplings;
transparent hose = air inlet,
blue hose = UP control,
red hose = DOWN control.
To reeve or climb the TIRAK
®
move and hold the control
lever/valve to the UP-position. To descend or unreeve
move and hold the control lever/valve to the DOWN-
position.
The control lever/valve is spring actuated so that, when
released, it will return to the neutral position and the
mechanical brake automatically stops travel
CAUTION!
DO NOT fix any hoi8st control lever
in the UP or DOWN position.
To avoid damage during
transport the Control lever
of all TIRAK
®
Hoists can
be turned into a storage
position.
See the example for the
XA 500 P in (Fig. 12).
