7 - Handling – Storage
Important
: the angle formed between the hook and the two sling points must not
exceed 45°.
Lift and place the winch carefully without dropping it.
Do not forget that the centre of gravity of the winch is off-centred.
For further information on the weight of the winch, refer to section § 6.2 – Models available.
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 - Assembly and start-up
8.1. Securing the winch:
The flatness deviation between the 4 points of support must not exceed 1mm, in order to avoid
undue strain on the device and ensure its longevity.
The support must be able to withstand the loads to which it is 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.
Calculate and check that the attachment support has a resistance that exceeds the loads to be lifted
or pulled.
The fixation must be performed using 4 screws of 10 mm diameter and 8.8 class (for TIRLIFT 2 250
to 500 kg) and 12 mm diameter and 8.8 class (for TIRLIFT 2 600/800/990/1500 kg).
In all cases where this is possible, favor an assembly using special nuts supplied with the winch &
shown below.
Their contour adapted to the Foundry device allow a distribution of the efforts and avoid their rotation
especially during the tightening process.
