2 operators required for winch maneuvers.
The first operator is in charge of slinging the
load.
The second operator is in charge of
operating the control unit and setting down
winch is correctly
® recommendation:
the load in the high position.
Description of winch maneuvering phases
when lifting a load:
• Sling the load
The operator fastens the load to be lifted to
the winch lifting hook (Fig.1, item 2).
IMPORTANT: It is strictly prohibited
to use the lifting wire rope as a sling (Fig. 17).
• Lifting the load off the ground.
By successively and momentarily pressing
the up button on the control unit (Fig. 1,
item 21), the operator lifts the load off the
ground, making sure that no part of the load
may come off during the lifting operation.
• Lifting the load
By pressing and holding the up button on the
control unit (Fig. 1, item 21), the operator lifts
the load.
DANGER: The operator must have
uninterrupted eye contact with the load
throughout the lifting height, in particular, he
must:
- Keep the load from swinging or turning.
- Keep all obstacles at a distance from the
wire rope and load.
- Avoid any slack wire rope on the strand
loaded.
• Stop lifting the load.
The operator releases the up button on the
control unit. At this moment, the operator
must check that the load has actually
stopped.
• Align and set load down in high position.
- If the winch is used on a jib crane:
The operator grabs the carrying handle
(Fig.1, item 11) and pivots the jib crane in
order to place the load vertically above the
location where it will be set down.
The operator sets down the load by acting on
the down button on the control unit.
- If the winch is used on a frame or bearing
on the base tube:
