4.- Operation
4.1.- Place the tower on a flat and solid surface in its site of operation.
4.2.- Unlock the retaining safety trigger (R) from the support system (SA). Slide the
support system downwards until the trigger (R) has reached the required position.
SEE FIGURE 1.
4.3.- Attach the load to the tower using an adequate support (this may vary according
to the situation), so that it can move only in a vertical sense. The minimum load must be
25 kg.
SEE FIGURE 2.
4.4.- Up:
Unlock the safety bolt (M2) and extend the tower by turning the winch handle (W)
clockwise (N1), thereby lifting the load to the desired location.
SEE FIGURE 3.
4.5.- Hold:
Release the winch handle (W), it will be kept in that position by the action of the
automatic brake pulled by the load. Lock this first profile with the safety bolt (M2) fixing
it to profile 2.
SEE FIGURE 4.
4.6.- Continue elevating:
Turn the winch handle (W) again clockwise and lift the load until the second profile is
fully extended. Release the handle which will remain fixed by the winch's automatic
brake and lock the second profile with the safety bolt (M1).
The tower may be stopped in any desired intermediate position. Simply release the
winch handle and secure the tower by inserting the corresponding safety bolt into the
hole which is closest to the required position.
SEE FIGURE 5.
4.7.- Down:
Descending the load is done the other way round. Unlock the safety bolt (M1) and turn
the winch handle counterclockwise ( N2 ) until the first profile is completely folded
down. Now unlock the safety bolt (M2) and retract the second profile.
Just like when lifting the load, the tower may be stopped in any desired intermediate
position.
SEE FIGURE 6.
4.8.- If the adaptor, T 101/008, is used, this must be mounted with the tower at the lowest
position before you start lifting the load.
This connector is fixed by the adjustment screw, T-101/016.
SEE FIGURE 7.
4.9.- For transport it is necessary to fold the tower by retracting its profiles completely
and fix them with the safety bolts (M1, M2). Dismount the legs by releasing the retention
triggers and put them in their transporting position (S).
