Regularly grease the gears with EP.2 grade grease for open gearing.
Regularly and before every use: check the condition of the rope, hook and safety latch.
If the rope and hook are not supplied by the manufacturer along with the machine, check that the
rope and hook used guarantee a level of safety according to breaking factor 5 (Machinery directive
2006/42/EC).

Regularly check the state of the brake (static tests: nominal load + 50%).
Regularly monitor the wear of brake linings (a). When they are no longer visible, they must
be replaced, see figure 7
Automatic brake application:
The brake will apply automatically when a winch is placed under a minimum load of:
•
10 kg for the Carol™ EX 150
•
15 Kg for the Carol™ EX 300.
Contraindications for use
6.
Before using the equipment, check for potential causes of overloading such as: adhesion to
the ground, suction, jamming, etc. All forbidden and incorrect uses or operations are
presented below:
It is forbidden to:
•
lift loads in excess of the nominal load indicated on the machine plate;
•
unwind the drum completely (keep two or three residual winds);
•
pull at an angle;
•
swing the load;
•
use the winch to lift staff;
•
walk under a load;
•
use ropes with a different diameter and texture from the specifications in this instruction manual
(breaking factor 5);
•
use damaged ropes or spliced ropes;
•
use hooks without a latch, which do not correspond to the loads indicated on the machine or
which are in poor condition;
•
insert objects into moving parts;
•
perform operations on a machine while it is loaded;
•
disengage the drum while loaded;
•
let the load free fall;
•
motorise the machines;
•
use the machine rope as a chain;
•
use handles other than the original ones;
•
use the machine for operations other than those for which it is intended;
•
use the winch as an anti-fall device, regardless of the height of the drop and the load applied;
•
use parts or components other than the original ones provided by the manufacturer;
•
tow by positioning a fixed point on the winch.
There must not be any obstacle in the load moving area either; any obstacles might cause sharp
changes in the rope tension and break it.

Precautions for use
•
Long descents are liable to overheat and damage the braking system. It is strongly advisable
to wait a few minutes half way (around 12 meters for the Carol™ EX 150 and around 4 metres
for the Carol™ EX 300) through descent phases.
•
The operating temperature should be between –10°C and +50°C.
