1 - Conditions for use
All users must read the set-up instructions carefully before using the product for the first time.
These instructions should enable the user to familiarise themselves with the winch and use it to its
full capacity. The set-up instructions contain important information about how to use the winch
safely and correctly. Compliance with these instructions helps to avoid danger, reduce repair costs,
reduce stoppage time and improve the reliability and service life of the winch. The instruction
manual must always be available in the place where the winch is being used. In addition to the
set-up instructions and regulations concerning the prevention of accidents, the work safety and
professional regulations in force in each country must also be respected.
This equipment is governed by European regulations and more specifically Directive 2006/42/EC
on machinery, Directive CEM 2014/30/UE, BT 2014/35/UE and RED 2014/53/UE as well as the EN
14492/1 standard.
These winches are designed to move loads using a suitable steel rope. They have been designed to
perform lifting and pulling operations within the defined load capacity limit and with safety factor 5
(static against sudden failure).
For use in lifting, the European regulation makes certain equipment obligatory, such as a limit
switch system and, for loads of 1,000 kg or more, a load limiter.
The operator must check the presence of this equipment (available as an option from the
manufacturer) before using the product for lifting purposes.
The capacity indicated on the winch corresponds to the maximum capacity of use (MCU); in no
event should this capacity be exceeded.
T
HIS WINCH MUST NOT
,
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
,
BE USED TO LIFT PEOPLE
.
Do not begin moving the load until you have attached it correctly and checked that all
personnel are outside the danger zone.
