7.1.2 Environment checks
Before installing, check that:
• The
electrical
compatible with the altotir™ winch (230
V / 50 Hz single phase) ; refer to the
nameplate and technical data table for
the altotir™ winch.
• The electrical power source is protected
in compliance with the applicable
regulations by a differential circuit-
breaker and a ground link, protecting the
opera tor, the altotir™ winch and its
equipment.
GB
• The length of the electrical control cable
is sufficient to connect the winch in the
location defined by the operator under
satisfactory safety conditions.
• The operator has uninterrupted eye
contact on the equipment load along the
entire lifting height.
• The work area is secured in compliance
with applicable regulations.
• The installer has the necessary fastening
(slings) and lifting means to safely
position the altotir™ winch next to the
opening of the seating plane (Fig. 12,
item 2).
• The anchoring point for installation lifting
device is compatible with the weight of
the altotir™ winch, in compliance with
the applicable regulations.
• The location for lifting or setting the
equipment loads to be handled by the
altotir™ winch are compatible as
concerns access, strength, horizontality,
and adhesion of loads considered.
• There are no obstacles against which the
load or wire rope may bear or rub
laterally, or against which the load may
snag.
7.1.3 Winch check
Before installing, you must check that:
• The altotir™ winch is compliant with the
standard delivery as detained in this
manual.
• The length of the wire rope is sufficient
for the path to be covered by the load.
power
source
is
Add an additional 1 m to ensure two
remaining windings on the drum when
the load is in the lowered position.
• All of the safety systems on the altotir™
winch operate (see § 4.7).
• The wire rope passes through the
opening provided on the limit stop lever.
If not, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the winch and disconnect the
electrical power supply
- Insert the lifting hook (Fig. 1 item 2)
through the opening provided on the limit
stop lever (Fig. 1, item 9).
- Place the limit stop in a skewed position
in order to insert it in the opening
provided on the limit stop lever.
• If an extension cord is used for the electrical
power supply, it must have the following
technical characteristics:
• 230 V single phase: 3 wires (1 phase,
1 neutral, 1 ground) with section of
2.5 mm².
These characteristics are valid up to 50 m
of electrical cable. Beyond this length,
contact the Tractel
• The
connection
extension cord is reinforced by an
accessory
connectors do not have to support the
weight of the extension cord.
• If an electric power generator is used as
power source, that it delivers, at the
least, the voltage and power required for
startup, i.e. 6 kVA.
IMPORTANT: It is prohibited to use
the winch for pulling, slanted lifting, pulling
along a slanted plane or any other
configuration other than those described in
this manual.
DANGER: If the winch is to be
installed in a location which is dangerous for
the operator, all safety precautions required
by the applicable work regulations must be
taken to eliminate any uncontrolled hazard
during the operation.
