6.3) Installing the Minifor
™
synthetic rope
in the hoist and adjusting the end limit
stops.
1. Connect the electric power connector
to a power outlet.
2. Fully insert the insertion fitting by
hand in the hoist through the opening
provided for this purpose where marked
by an arrow on the casing.
DANGER:
Make sure the hand
holding the Minifor
™
synthetic rope is placed
at least 15 cm from the insertion opening.
IMPORTANT:
never insert the synthetic
rope in the other opening which is exclusively
intended for the rope exit.
Never secure a load
on a slack section of Minifor
™
synthetic
rope.
3. Press the “Up” button on the control
pendant while pushing the synthetic
rope so that it engages on the pulley
located inside the hoist.
4. Once the Minifor
™
synthetic rope is
driven by the drive system,
release it
.
5. When the synthetic rope comes out of
the hoist, continue the movement to
obtain a length of rope of around 1 meter
coming out of the hoist.
6. On the free end of the Minifor
™
synthetic
rope (item 1, fig. 13, page A), slip on the
low limit stop (item 2) then the clamping
device (items 3-4-5) and tighten the two
screws (item 5) using an Allen wrench
(item 6).
There should be one meter of
synthetic rope between the limit stop
and the end of the Minifor
™
synthetic
rope.
7. Check that the limit stop does not slide
on the synthetic rope (fig. 13, page A).
NOTE:
If you wish to further limit
the travel distance of the load downward,
run the synthetic rope to the desired length
before you secure the limit stop.
On the other end, secure the upper limit
stop clamping device in accordance with
the height at which you want to limit the travel
of the load upward. Secure and check by
applying the same procedure performed for the
low limit stop.
Check that the hoist limit levers operate
correctly, as well as the other safety devices
as described in section 9.
DANGER:
It is an absolute safety
requirement to ensure that there is a limit
stop at around one meter ahead of the free
end of the synthetic rope and another limit
stop on the hook side of the synthetic rope,
both securely and appropriately fastened.
6.4) Check with load
With the load fastened, lift it slightly and
check that the “Up” and “Down” controls
operate correctly; also check operation of
the “Emergency stop” control.
Once you have ensured that these
functions operate correctly, you can proceed
with the maneuvers.
If the unit does not operate correctly,
return it to a Tractel
®
-approved repair agent
(Also see section 6.2).
7) Operating the hoist
The hoist is operated by pressing on
either the “Up” or “Down” button on the control
box (fig. 3, page A). The control box must
always be held in the vertical position, hanging
on its control cable. Never turn over the control
