Fit the mounting clamp
See Fig. 3.
– Loosen the screw (1).
Note:
If the screw (1) was unintentionally unscrewed:
– Check whether the copper disc (2) is in the threaded hole
(3).
ATTENTION!
Risk of severe accidents!
If the spindle is difficult to turn although the locking screw has
been loosened then the thread on the spindle is damaged.
– Send the mounting clamp to TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH
for repair.
– Open the clamping jaws (4) with the spindle (5).
– Place the mounting clamp on the support (6).
– Close the clamping jaws with the spindle (5):
Ensure that the clamping jaws only touch the parts of the
flange on the support labelled with arrows. The mounting
clamp must sit firmly on the support without any play.
– Tighten the spindle screw (1).
It must no longer be possible to turn the spindle.
Attach the load
See Fig. 4.
– Attach the hoisting gear's hook (1) or other rigging (e.g.
shackle) so that the suspension eye (2) points downwards.
You must ensure that the size of the hook (1) fits the sus-
pension eye (2). The safety guard (3) must be closed.
After completing the installation
– Check that everything is ready and then run a functional
check, see '7.4 Commissioning' on page 7.
