Setting Up; Preliminary Checks - Tractel Minifor TR10SY Instructions D'emploi

5.3) Rigging the load:
IMPORTANT: Be sure there are no
obstacles against which the load or synthetic
rope may rub laterally or against which the
load may stag.
The load must mandatorily be secured by
the hook on the synthetic rope (item 4, fig. 1,
page 6) and never by the hook on the hoist.
The load must be rigged using a sling of
appropriate capacity, dimension and type
for the object to be handled. It is prohibited
to use the Minifor™ synthetic rope as a sling
by running it around the object with hook
GB
fastened to the synthetic rope as a loop
(fig. 8, page A correct slinging and fig. 9,
page A, prohibited slinging).

6) Setting up

6.1) Preliminary checks

1. Load or force, less than or equal to
working load limit of hoist.
2. Strength of fixed point or bearing surface
sufficient to safely apply a force equal to
the working load limit.
3. Correct rigging.
4. Minifor™ synthetic
condition.
5. Length of Minifor™ synthetic rope is
sufficient for load hoisting distance. Add
an additional length of at least 1.5 m for
passage through the hoist and a
sufficient length of apparent slack rope.
6. Length of electric control cable sufficient
to connect with hoist at operator position
defined for safe working conditions.
6.2) Electrical recommendations
1. Before using the hoist with a new
connection, refer to the nameplate on
the motor.
Check the characteristics of the power
supply, single phase or three-phase,
voltage, available amperage. Check
that the current supplied is compatible
with the characteristics on the motor
rope in good
9
nameplate. The available current must
be equal or greater than the current
indicated on the nameplate.
2. If an extension is used, choose an
extension having
characteristics:
• single phase 230V: 3 wires
(1 phase, 1 neutral, 1 ground) with
section 2.5 mm 2 .
• three-phase 400 V or 690 V: 4 wires
(3 phases, 1 ground) with section of
2.5 mm². These characteristics are valid
for up to 50 m of electrical cable. For
greater lengths, contact your TRACTEL
dealer.
3. The electrical extension connection
must be reinforced by an accessory
("sock") to withstand the weight of the
extension at the connector.
4. If the connector supplied with the
electrical power supply cable is to be
changed, this intervention must only be
performed by a qualified technician. Any
intervention on the control box cable
must also only be performed by a
qualified technician. No intervention
should be performed on the electrical unit
of the hoist (except for changing a fuse),
by anyone other than a TRACTEL
approved repair agent.
5. Make sure that the installation on the
worksite or building on which the
Minifor™ TR10SY is connected is
equipped with the regulatory electrical
safety devices (local and national
regulations) such as, among others,
a differential circuit-breaker and a
ground connection, protecting the
operator, the Minifor™ TR10SY and
its equipment.
6. If the Minifor™ TR10SY is supplied from
an electric power generator, check that
it provides (at minimum) the required
startup voltage and power (6 kVa).
7. The Minifor™TR10SY three-phase
hoists are equipped with a phase
direction detector inhibiting operation if
the phases are inverted. If the motor
