INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL

During the tower elevation process, pay attention to the cable rolling.
This cable must the coiled in parallel turns around the winch cylinder NEVER MUST
BE PRODUCED CABLE CROSSES IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

In this way, that cable can be dangered or got worn, causing, at the end, the break of the cable. 

If any spiral is rolled in this way, turn the winch in opposite sense up to release of wrong turn.
Then, proceed to coil again in an appropriated way

Coil direction during
the elevation process

CORRECT MODE

WRONG MODE

The cable must be 
coiled in parallel coil

Turned in cross way. 
Try to avoid it in order 
to keep the cable integrity.

NOTE: BEFORE ELEVATING THE TOWER, CHECK THAT ALL BOLTS ARE
            IN BLOCK POSITION.

Turn the winch smoothness in
clockwise direction, during
this process, the load will
start to elevate with the

to a defficient load.Continue
