Important safety instructions

• 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.).
• 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.

• 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!

• No persons - except for the operator - may stay under the load or in the dangerous area. Keep the minimum distance of 10m from the lifted load.

• 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.
• The reel metal cable must not be used for burden fixing.
• Putting the cable reel into operation is only allowed with a perfectly balanced cable.
• The cable reel cannot be left unattended with burdens lifted up.
• The load capacity of bearing structures must be checked before you start working with the cable reel.
• 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.
• If you face any problems with working of the cable reel please contact your authorised dealer and refrain from any improvisation work.
• The cable reel engine drive is not fitted with an engine protection circuit-breaker. The engine therefore cannot be overloaded when there are any problems with lifting; in such a case check whether the lifted burden does not exceed the allowed load capacity of the cable reel and whether the system voltage has not dropped.
• To be able to intervene in time in case of any imminent danger, the operating staff must operate the cable reel from a suitable place to control the entire workplace.
  Make sure the cable always reels up smoothly on the drum. pic. 5
• Make sure the cable reel cable is always twined around the drum at least thrice when working.
• The cable reel must not be changed anyhow; use only devices supplied with the cable reel for lifting.
• Use the lifting devices supplied with the cable reel only in a manner described in these Operating Instructions. Do not use these devices for any other appliance or purpose.
• Do not use an adhesive tape or any other tools for connecting the feeder cable to the extension cable.
• Make sure the electric characteristics of the network for cable reel connection correspond to the values specified on the engine type label.
• When an extension cable is used, make sure that the cable with the plug and socket correspond to the cable reel input.
  The steel cable needs to be checked for any damage each time you put it into operation. It is strictly prohibited to use the cable reel when the cable is damaged (pic. 3)
• Lifting of persons inadmissible.
• Disorder in the workplace can cause accidents.
• Protect against electric shock. Prevent your body from coming into contact with earthed parts.
• Check whether your appliance is not damaged. Carefully inspect safety devices if not faulty or working improperly before further use of the appliance. Check whether functions of movable parts are all right, whether not clogged or damaged. All parts must be installed correctly so that all appliance conditions were guaranteed. Any damaged protective device and part

must be professionally repaired or replaced in a customer service centre unless provided otherwise in the Operating Instructions. Damaged switches must be replaced in a customer service centre. Do not use devices whose switches cannot be on or off.

The cable reel electric motor is protected with a thermal fuse. When the thermal fuse responses, the cable reel stops. The cable reel can be used again only after cooled down (app. 5 minutes).
Caution: The cable winch is not suitable for industrial or continuous operation and it may get switched off after several operating cycles. When used for industrial purposes, the appliance must be checked by an expert before being put into operation for the first time in accordance with the applicable operating safety regulations.
- Have any damaged part immediately replaced.
- Never take part in any repair (guarantee expiry and risk taking).
- Do not unnecessarily expose the cable reel to climatic influences, solar radiation, dust or low temperatures.
It is explicitly prohibited that persons stayed or walked under or in the immediate vicinity of the hung burdens.
- Your electric cable reel is fitted with a safety switch. Press the red safety switch in case of emergency!! If you want to release the safety switch blocking then turn it by quarter of a turn clockwise.
Attention:

The cable reel has a limit switch that stops the engine if the drum is just twined around thrice.

Inadmissible operation

The following manners of use are prohibited!

1. Lifting when cable is not hanging vertically.
2. Trying to lift burdens connected to earth.
3. Lifting of burdens hung outside of axis of gravity.
4. Swinging with the hung burden when trying to get the burden outside of the reel axis.
5. Burden lifting or sinking if there are any obstacles in the burden lifting or sinking path.
6. Leaving the reel with a hung burden unattended.
7. Operating the reel from a place where the entire burden is not in the visual field of the operating staff
8. Lifting of people

Lifting of burdens with a weight exceeding the maximum allowed load of the reel.

Using the cable reel in any other than faultless condition.

Continuous operation: Observe the cycles of operation specified by the producer to ensure proper engine work.

Using the lifting limit switch for common lifting process switch-off.

To eliminate abnormal cable unreeling from the drum, the hook and hook block must not touch the floor.

Burden lifting with a haul-back block

The limit switch does not work when the cable reel

operated with a haul-back block! Make sure the haul-

A block does not arrive to the cable reel nearer than a

m.

1. Unscrew the haul-back block.
2. Put cable to the haul-back block.
3. Screw the haul-back block together again and tighten the screws.
4. Tie the lifted burden to the burden hook.

Residual risks and protective measures

Electric residual risks:

Threat Description Protective measure(s)
Direct electric contact	Electric shock	RCD
Indirect electric contact	Electric shock through medium	RCD

Other risks:

Threat Description Protective measure(s)
Thrown-away items or spraying liquids	Oil can squirt from the electric cable reel and cause serious injuries.	Always wear gloves and protective glasses.
Slipping, tripping or fall of persons	The feeder cable and appliance itself can become a cause of tripping.	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 oil.
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.
