4) Replacement accessories
The following parts and accessories can
be procured:
1. High and low and limit stop (inter-
changeable).
2. Minifor
™
synthetic rope equipped with
eye-hook and protection at one end and
insertion fitting at the other end.
3. Power supply connector.
5) Anchoring and rigging the hoist
NOTE:
visually
inspect
the
condition of the Minifor
™
TR125 SY hoist and
its synthetic rope before you proceed to
install the hoist.
If the hoist is to be installed in a location
which is dangerous for the operator, all the
necessary safety precautions called for by
the applicable work regulations must be taken
to eliminate any risk when performing this
operation. It may be preferable, in this case,
to install the Minifor
™
synthetic rope in the hoist
before you proceed to anchor it (see §5.3)
The hoist can be used suspended or
seated on its base (item 9, fig. 1, page 6).
5.1) Anchoring the hoist in a suspended
position (see fig. 4, page A)
DANGER:
Check
that
the
fixed
anchoring point is sufficiently strong for the
force to be applied.
This is the simplest, most frequently used
anchoring configuration. The hoist must only
be anchored by its suspension hook (except
§5.2 below) and never by its handle (item 8,
fig. 1, page 6).
DANGER:
Never anchor the synthetic
rope hook to a fixed point to have the hoist
work by moving along its rope (fig. 4, page A,
mandatory installation).
The hoist hook (item1, fig. 1, page 6) must
be engaged in the anchoring point so that
the anchoring point device fully carries
the hook. The safety latch on the hook should
close completely against the hook nose.
If any interference is observed in the swivel
joint of the hoist hook with the anchoring
device, you must use a sling of appropriate
capacity between the anchoring device and
the hoist hook.
The load must be suspended freely.
5.2) Anchoring the hoist seated on its base
(see fig. 7, page A)
This type of installation requires special
precautions:
1. The bearing surface on which the hoist
is seated must be flat, horizontal, stable,
non-deformable and sufficiently strong
with respect to the Working Load Limit
of the Minifor
™
.
2. The support surface must have an
opening for the two strands of the
Minifor
™
synthetic rope; the configu-
ration and dimensions are given in fig. 6,
page A showing the seating surface of
the hoist and its positioning with respect
to the opening on the support.
3. The hoist must be positioned so that the
Minifor
™
synthetic rope under load does
not rub against the sides of the opening
and the end limit stops on the synthetic
rope are able to come into contact with
the limit stop levers on the hoist.
4. The hoist must be wedged so that it
does not move in any way on its support
surface.
5. The load must be freely suspended.
IMPORTANT:
with this installation
configuration, never lift a load without first
placing it directly under the hoist.
5.3) Rigging the load:
IMPORTANT:
Be sure there are no
obstacles against which the load or synthetic
rope may rub laterally or against which the
load may stag.
The load must mandatorily be secured
by the hook on the synthetic rope (item 4,
fig. 1, page 6) and never by the hook on
the hoist.
