Tractel Minifor TR 10 Notice D'instruction page 20

IMPORTANT
The loose strand of the wire rope must be
kept away from the loaded strand, and more
particularly, when two loaded strands are used
with tackle so that the loose strand does not
become tangled with the loaded strands.
For the same reasons, the loose wire rope
strand must be kept away from any obstacle
which could catch it and you should be careful
to prevent the loose strand from becoming
GB
tangled in itself; this could result in preventing
the low limit stop attached to the loose strand
from reaching the stopping mechanisms (limit
stop levers) on the unit. Blockage of the loose
strand when moving up (load moving down)
could result in rupture of the wire rope and the
load falling.
Deformation of the wire rope can also cause the
wire rope to block in the hoist or on contact of
the deformed part with the hoist. Whatever the
cause of the wire rope movement becoming
blocked, the hoisting operation should be
stopped immediately. See section 13.
The limit stops are not control components but
safety components. These should never be used
intentionally in this respect and only serve as
stopping mechanisms in the event of unintentional
overshoot of the planned travel distance.
Never park or work under the load. If necessary,
set up a safety barrier around the area under
the load.
