Servicing; Incorrect, Prohibited Use Of Hoist - Tractel Minifor TR10SY Instructions D'emploi

IMPORTANT: The Minifor™ synthetic
rope is made of synthetic fiber. For this
reason, any contact with a flame will result in
destruction of the wire rope. The utilization
temperature range of the Minifor™ synthetic
rope when dry is –10°C / + 50°C.

11) 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
approved repair agent.
GB
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
agent, except to replace the fuse in the
electrical unit. The hoist must always be shut
down before it is opened.
