Commissioning; Preliminary Conditions; Checks Before Use - Tractel Group altotir 200 Traducción Del Manual Original

7.4.3.2 Checks with load
• Fasten the maximum working load to the
lifting hook (Fig. 1, item 2).
IMPORTANT: The load must be
secured to the wire rope by the hook.
The load must be secured by a sling of
appropriate capacity, dimensions and type
for the object to be handled. The winch wire
rope must not be used, under any
circumstances, as a sling by running it
around an object with the hook attached to
the wire rope (Figs. 17 and 18).
When the load lifts off the ground, check that:
• There are no signs of deformation,
cracks or rupture on the seating plane
next to the base tube (Fig. 12, item 2) or
in the immediate environment.
If any problem is observed, immediately
stop the up-movement, set the load on
the ground and have the installation
checked by a qualified technician.
• No interference is observed between the
load and the environment along the
entire lifting height, by acting on the
control unit.
• No deformation on the ground or on
the working platform is observed when
the load is set down.
• The winch does not move on its seating
plane.
The dimensional specifications of the
opening to be provided in the platform are
indicated in Figure 12.

risk of interference of the wire rope or of
the limit stops with an obstacle.
• The wire rope is in good condition along
its entire length.
• The control and power cables are not
damaged.
• The safety systems operate correctly.
• The work area is secured in compliance
with applicable regulations.
Additional checks according to installation
