The equipment regulates the lowering speed to approx. 1,6 m/s. depending of the load.
However, with increasing loads, an increase in the speed must be expected.
Descent mode
Hoist mode
NB: Line slippage during the hoisting procedure.
REASON:
The line was not drawn all the way to the bottom of the line reel during the preliminary hoist.
With the rotation of the reel, the line has been forced outwards because of the combination
of load and too little point pressure, after which the line slips prevent any hoist action.
REMEDY:
Pull hard up or down on the return line (top or person fitted to equipment) to force it into the
bottom of the reel. Rotate the hand wheel at least once with full tension and keep an eye on
the line's woven marking, which will clearly show if the equipment is being hoisted. If not,
e.g. due to heavy load/wet line, an assisting foot loop on the return line can be made. By
putting a foot into the loop it is possible to hoist with assisting tension on the return line.
