1.4 Intended use

Only used as intended for safe operation.
The operator is responsible for damage to persons
and property, which result from non-intended use. The
manufacturer's liability and warranty becomes void in
the case of arbitrary changes.
– Only suitable for raising, lowering, and pulling freely movab-
le loads.
– Only use lifting winches for raising and lowering loads
vertically or on inclined surfaces.
– Only usepulling winches for moving loads on horizontal
surfaces.
– Use hoists to raise and lower loads that are suspended from
hooks or other lifting equipment.
– Only use in a sound technical condition.
– Only instructed personnel may install, operates, and main-
tenance and the device.
– Dimension the connection construction sufficiently.
– Attach the winch distortion-free.
– Detachable drums are only permissible for vehicle salvage
winches, winches for boat trailers and pulling winches.
The following is not permitted:
– Exceeding the permissible load (see type, load plate and
technical data).
– Conveyance of passengers
– Persons standing under suspended loads.
– Pulling away jammed or blocked loads, dragging of loads
and pulling diagonally.
– Working with defective winches, rope or load carrying
equipment.
– Working outside of the permissible temperature range.
The equipment is not certified for
– Building elevators (DGUV-R 100-500-2.30).
– Stages and studios (DGUV-V 17).
– Conveying loads above lines and pipes, through which
combustible gases or liquids which could also be harmful to
health only with control units according to safety category 2.
– Lifting equipment for persons (DGUV-R 101-005).
– Use in explosive environment (ATEX).
Accident prevention regulations
The relevant national regulations must be observed.
In Germany, these are currently:
– DGUV-V 54 „Winches, hoists, and pulling equipment"
– DGUV-V 52 „cranes"
– DGUV-R 100-500 „operating lifting equipment"
The device is unsuitable for
– Use in applications in which the load-bearing capacity chan-
ges with the load position.
– Continuous operation (see technical data, motor group).
– Excessive inching operation.
– Use during constant vibration.
– Use on seagoing vessels and mobile offshore equipment.
– Aggressive environment.
– Forestry.

Limited suitability for (specific design):
– Transporting burning liquid material.
– Operation in tropical environment.
– Stationary offshore equipment.
Ambient conditions:
– Perm. temperature range for winds: 0 °C to +40 °C,
extended temperature range possible as an option.
– Perm. temperature range for controls: 5 °C to +35 °C,
extended temperature range possible as an option.
– When using outdoors, protect winch against weather influ-
ences. A brake motor with protection system IP 55 is favou-
rable. Provide motor with protective canopy when installed
in a vertical position.
– In particularly damp environment and with strong tempe-
rature fluctuations, the motor can be equipped additionally
with a heating element as condensed water protection.
– Installation altitude ≤ 1000 m above sea level.

Condensation (moisture, temperature fluctuations) can
result after longer downtimes in corrosion of the mecha-
nical brake, thereby causing brake malfunctions.
Corrosion protection can also not prevent this complete-
ly. The best is to use the winch regularly. A weekly test
run and repeated switching on of the motor, can prevent
jamming of the brake according to our experience.
