pins. Use only genuine TRACTEL

- Never anchor the machine other than by its appropriate
anchor point.
- Ensure that there are no obstructions around the machi-
ne which could prevent the machine, the wire rope and
the anchor points from operating in a straight line.
- Never use the JOCKEY

- Never apply a load to the loose wire rope exiting from
the JOCKEY

machine.
- Never subject the controls to sharp knocks.
- Do not operate the JOCKEY
rit pressing of the wire rope hook fouls the machine side
case.
- Never attempt to reverse the rope completely through
the machine whilst under load.
12. TROUBLESHOOTING
1) The forward operating lever moves freely and does
not operate the mechanism : the machine has been
overloaded and the shear pin has sheared. See section
8.2 for replacing the shear pin (Jockey
2) Pumping :
A lack of lubricant in a machine sometimes brings about
a condition known as 'pumping' which is not at all dan-

gerous but which is inconvenient. This situation occurs
when the jaw which is gripping the rope becomes locked
onto it preventing the other jaw from taking over the
load. As the operating lever is moved in one direction
the machine travels a few centimetres, but when the
operating lever travels in the other direction the machi-
ne moves back the same distance in sympathy with the
jaw which is locked onto the rope. The JOCKEY
ne should be thoroughly lubricated and it will recom-
mence working normally. If necessary, operate the
machine in reverse direction over a short distance to
help lubrication of the mechanism.
3) Jerkiness :
This is also a symptom of lack of lubrication. The
JOCKEY
™
machine should be thoroughly lubricated.
Follow the instructions for 'pumping' above.
4) Blockage :
If the wire rope becomes blocked in the machine, gene-
rally because a damaged section of wire rope is stuck
within the jaws, it is imperative to stop operating the
machine. The load should be taken by another machine
on a separate wire rope, or by another means, whilst
ensuring that all safety precautions are taken. When the
blocked machine is no longer under load, it may be relea-
sed and removed. Should this not be possible, return the
machine and wire rope to an approved repairer.
