5. instAllAtion
The safety instructions (Chapter 2) apply, in particular for sto-
rage, transport and assembly (Chapter 2.4).
5.1 mounting
– Design connection construction for twice the operation load
in order to safely accommodate occurring forces.
– Contact surface must be even, for tension-free attachment.
– tighten and secure screw connections safely.
5.2 installation position, Gear Venting
If existant, replace a plug screw by the provided vent screw
depending on the installation position after mounting the rope
winch.
installation position m1 applies, if no installation position
has been specified. If the operator changes in the assem-
GB
bly position, check the oil level and if necessary adapt before
operation.
The installation position of the winch is determined by the
position of the gear. Therefore, the position of the vent, oil
inspection, as well as oil filling amount varies (–> Appendix
and user operating instructions of the manufacturer).
The correct installation position is a precondition for
safe operation and must be observed.
Installation positions with drum shaft vertical are inad-
missible, since safe winding of the rope is not ensured.
Allocation gear to winch –> Spare parts lists.
– When using outdoors, protect winch against weather influ-
ences. A brake motor with protection system IP 55 is favou-
rable. Provide motor with protective canopy when installed in
a vertical position.
– In particularly damp environment and with strong temperatu-
re fluctuations, the motor can be equipped additionally with a
heating element as condensed water protection.
Condensation (moisture, temperature fluctuations) can
result after longer downtimes in corrosion of the mecha-
nical brake, thereby causing brake malfunctions. Corrosi-
on protection can also not prevent this completely. The
best is to use the winch regularly. A weekly test run and
repeated switching on of the motor, can prevent jamming
of the brake according to our experience.
5.3 Ropes
5.3.1 General notes
– Select a rope suitable for your purposes, with safety factor of
at least10, the minimum tensile strength divided by the lifting
capacity. The EN 12385-3 e.g. provides selection aids.
– Only use steel wire ropes delivered with test certificate 2.2
DIN EN 10204.
– Diameter of the rope drum has to be at least 18-times the
rope diameter. Diameter of the rope roller at least 20-times
the rope diamter.
Wire ropes differ by:
– their design/construction. (low-twist and non-twist-free
rope). haacon recommends rope FAB.DIEPA B50.
– the strength of the individual strands. The minimum tensile
strength of the rope results from this (–> technical data /
type plate).
– The rope diameter (–> technical data / type plate).
– The impact direction. (Designation Z).
– The surface. Only use galvanized or high-grade steel wire
rope outdoors.
Instructions for use:
– One-stranded operation and non-guided loads:
Low-twist ropes.
– Rope ends: safeguard against unsplicing.
– Lubrication extends the service life.
Not permissible:
– Using rope made of other material than steel, as well as
plastic casing
– Corrosion, damage, or strong contamination

5.3.2 Rope Attachment to the Drum
z Check drum rotation (See chapter 4)
z Lead rope out through the opening of the drum flange.
z Position under the rope clamp slightly projecting and tighten.
Attach rope in such a way that it winds up unhampered
onto the rotating drum. Kinking or leading across edges
is prohibited. If the drum is marked with an arrow, then
this indicates the drum rotation direction which must be
observed when winding up the rope.
5.3.3 Rope Course
Arrange cable drives in such a way that ropes cannot be
damaged by contacting each other or by touching immobile
and moving constructions. The rope must be wound up evenly
and tautly.
The rope length is correct, if:
> 3
Using a slack rope switch reduces the rope take-up on the
drum by 2 rope turns.
