Any visible damage or any contact with
chemical substances (see §10 Danger) of
the synthetic rope requires that the rope be
eliminated and replaced by a new Minifor
™
synthetic rope.
The synthetic rope can be cleaned locally
if necessary. It should be washed using
warm water (if necessary, with a neutral
soap). Rinse thoroughly. Drying should take
place at ambient temperature, and never near
a source of direct heat.
NOTE:
The hoist should only be
opened by an approved Tractel
®
repair agent,
except to replace the fuse in the electrical
unit.
The hoist must always be shut down before
it is opened.
