KSV8/50, KSV8/258
1. Attach the traction device as described under point 4.2.
2. Completely open the rescue device.
3. Loop the traction chains around the pulling point or fastening point, and push the
shortening hooks over a chain link. While doing so, make sure that the traction chain is
as taut as possible on the object and cannot slip.
4. Hook the chain into the shortening hook of the connector. Pull the traction chain as tight
as possible.
5. Before the actual traction process, check the chains once more for a secure hold.
6. To pull, close the spreader or the combi tool. When pulling, always make sure that the
traction chain is not deflected by obstacles.
7. If the pulling distance is insufficient, it must first be secured with tension chains or other
means. Only then open the spreader and proceed according to points 4 and 5.
