The user must tauten the rope using a minimum force of 1% of the operating load of the
winch.
The service life of the steel ropes used on the winch depends on a number of factors, including
the form of the work cycles (lifting height, lifting speed, number and type of deviations, etc.)
and the operating mode (number of coil layers, distribution of the work cycles over the length
of the steel rope, etc.). The service life of steel ropes is therefore subject to considerable
variation depending on these factors.
Please remember that rope must be replaced with equipment which meets the same
specifications as the original rope.
This replacement must be recorded in the maintenance booklet.
IMPORTANT
: even if the rope was supplied with the winch, it was not tautened during
assembly. The user must tauten it using a minimum force of 1% of its breaking load.
