Important safety instructions x The cable winch must be checked before starting work if all components are working perfectly. In particular, check the perfect state of the snap hooks preventing any unintentional release of the lifting hook from slings (ropes, rings, transportation eyes, etc.). x The cable reel can only be used for lifting of burdens whose weight does not exceed the maximum load capacity specified by the producer in technical data and on the type label of the cable reel. x Burdens fixed in conflict with regulations that could fall down must not be lifted. Attach the load correctly. Lifted loads may only be lifted in a vertical position! Never pull and lift in an inclined position! x No persons – except for the operator – may stay under the load or in the dangerous area. Keep the minimum distance of 10 m from the lifted load. x All lifting work is only allowed when appropriate fixing elements (cables, rings, transport loops, etc.) are used and when in accordance with appropriate provisions and standards valid in the workplace. x The reel metal cable must not be used for burden fixing. x Putting the cable reel into operation is only allowed with a perfectly balanced cable. x The cable reel cannot be left unattended with burdens lifted up. x The load capacity of bearing structures must be checked before you start working with the cable reel. x Check the cables for any wear-out before you start working with the cable reel; if there are any signs of wear- out the cables need to be replaced with new ones whose characteristics must correspond to the maximum allowed load capacity of the cable reel. Cables only need to be replaced with original spare cables. x If you face any problems with working of the cable reel please contact your authorised dealer and refrain from any improvisation work. x The cable reel engine drive is not fitted with an engine protection circuit-breaker.

Depending on the installation type, take appropriate countermeasures suitable installation place, installation place marking, etc.) Maintenance and treatment

1. Attention – threat to life by electric shock! Disconnect

the appliance before each cleaning and treatment. Attention – risk of appliance damage! Never clean the appliance under running water or rinse water. Do not use aggressive cleaning means or hard items for cleaning as they could damage the appliance. Occasionally wipe the appliance with a moist cloth.

2. Regularly check the steel cable (m) in its entire length for

any damage and whether the limit switch (e) is not faulty (lift the reel up until the tension weight (l) activates the tension clamp (c)).

3. If the steel cable (m) is damaged (broken or tattered, see

pic. 3) then replace it with an original spare cable. When installing the cable, you must not in any case forget the tension weight (l) so that safe tension in the end position was ensured.

4. Regularly grease the haul-back block bearing (n) with little

5. When the appliance is switched off check the mobility of

all mechanical construction parts of the reel.

6. A specialist must check the appliance at least once a

year. The test result needs to be recorded in the Check Book.

7. Clean the steel cable and grease it with oil once a month.
