2.1. Winch
The winch is equipped with a load
pressure brake which holds the load at
any required height and ensures that it
undergoes controlled lowering.
The load pressure brake must not be
greased or oiled. This destroys the
brake function!
The stipulated hoisting capacity
calculated on the first cable layer, stated
on the type identity sticker must not be exceeded.
The winch must at least be mounted with the required mounting materials from chart 1.
Never touch moving parts during use!
Always run the following check before use:
-
brake function
-
quality of the cable and hoisting parts
-
carrier construction
The winch must be tested by a professional at least once a year.
