Lowering - Habegger HIT-TRAC 16 B Mode D'emploi

∆
Attention: Letting the clutch slip to long leads to overheating and
premature wear.
When pulling, make sure that neither the housing nor the rope are deflected or jammed by
obstacles. The exposed rope must not be obstructed.
∆
Keep an eye on the machine, the rope and the load when the
device is in motion.
When work is performed at high altitudes or in unfavourable climatic conditions:
•
Adjust the carburettor setting or
•
Reduce load accordingly.
When the machine is used frequently in mountain areas, a special carburettor can partially
compensate the power reduction of the motor.
Adjustments to the motor should be made in accordance with STIHL's operating
instructions or following consultation with the manufacturer.

Lowering

Loosen the lowering brake to lower the load or slacken the rope
1. Swivel out the crank handle at a right angle
2. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise.
This rotary motion reduces the compression force of the brake discs until the brake
housing starts moving. The speed of the rope is determinated by the speed of the crank
handle.
∆
Attention: The cams of the driving plate can get damaged.
Do not let go off the crank handle while lowering he load, and do not swivel the crank
handle in during the rotary motion.
Stop the handwheel to interrupt the lowering motion. This increases the contact pressure of
the brake disc until the brake housing and, thus, the load comes to a standstill. As soon as
the brake housing is standing still, turn back ¼ rotation clockwise and swivel the crank
handle back into its original position.
After discharging the rope, turn back the crank handle ½ rotation clockwise.
