Servicing; Incorrect, Prohibited Use Of Hoist - Tractel Minifor TR125 SY Instructions D'emploi Et D'entretien

- a sliding protective sleeve (see item 5,
fig. 1, page 6). When there is no load on
the system, the sleeve covers the hook
to prevent damage from the environment
which may be caused by possible
impacts due to a back and forth
movement of the hook. To fasten a load,
the sleeve must be pushed upward to
uncover the hook and allow fastening of
the load.
The other end is specially prepared for
insertion in the unit.
To ensure safe use of the Minifor™ TR125
SY hoists, they must only be used with the
Minifor™ synthetic
desi gned for these units, having a diameter
GB
of 9.4 mm.
DANGER: Use of a Minifor™ syn thetic
rope showing any damage or which is not
suited to the hoist represents a major accident
and failure hazard. The rope must be checked
regularly to ensure that it is in good operating
condition, and should be immediately
eliminated should any signs of damage be
observed on the outer layer (sheath) making
the core visible, or following contact with
chemical substances such as acids, alkalines
or phenols.
The reeled Minifor™ synthetic rope must be
stored in a dry location.
Contact of the synthetic rope with products
such as oil or grease will have no impact on
the synthetic rope as long as these products
do not contain chemical substances as
indicated in the DANGER section above.
NOTE: The service life of the
synthetic rope is limited to 400 up/down
cycles.
Beyond this limit, the Minifor™ synthetic rope
must be eliminated and replaced by a new
Minifor™ synthetic rope.
IMPORTANT: The Minifor™ synthetic
rope is made of synthetic fiber. For this
reason, any contact with a flame will result in
rope specially
32
destruction of the rope. The utilization
temperature range of the Minifor™ synthetic
rope when dry is –10°C / + 50°C.

12) Servicing

Servicing the unit consists in regularly
checking that it is in good condition, in
cleaning it and having it periodically inspected
(at least once a year) by a Tractel
repair agent.
The inspection and maintenance sheet is
located at the end of this manual.
Make sure that:
- the suspension hook attaching nut
(item 3, fig.14, page A) is properly
tightened and that the nut locking pin
(item 2, fig. 14, page A) is in place,
- the handle mounting locknut is properly
tightened.
Change if necessary.
Any visible damage to the hoist or its
equipment, particularly its hooks and electrical
conductors, should be repaired before the
system is used again.
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
except to replace the fuse in the electrical
unit.
The hoist must always be shut down before
it is opened.
