Check the components and the accessories
General
–
Check that the components and the accessories are com-
plete (See ' 3.2 Scope of delivery' on Page 5 and
' 4.2 Components / Modules' on Page 7).
–
Check for signs of damage.
–
Check that all of the screw connections are tight.
–
Replace any damaged parts or have them repaired by a
specialist. Repairs are only to be carried out by a specialist
workshop or by personnel from TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH.
Rope
–
Check whether the diameter and design of the rope match
the product and the application, see Table 1 on page II, Ta-
ble 7 on page 20 and 'Nameplate and warning signs / appli-
cation restrictions' on page 7.
If the load cannot be guided by on-site means then a rota-
tion-resistant wire rope with a swivel hook or a rope swivel
must be used.
–
Check that the length of the rope is sufficient:
It must be possible to safely move the load from the start to
the end position.
The wire rope must be long enough so that the rope end
connection or the load bearing point or the rope end itself
cannot be pulled up to or into the product or the accessory
parts.
–
Inspect the entire length of the rope for any signs of damage,
see Fig. 13.
–
Inspect the rope tip in accordance with Fig. 8 (see also
' 15.4 Care and maintenance, Rope' on page 19).
–
Clean regularly.
–
Check whether the thimble (1) and sealing cuffs (2) are
undamaged (see Fig. 10).
–
Ropes with hooks:
Check that the hook and the safety catch (3) are intact, see
Fig. 10.
–
Ropes with safety hooks:
Check to ensure that the safety hooks (4) shut correctly and
that the locks work, see Fig. 10.
Anchoring devices
–
Check whether the bolts/screws/rigging comply with the
specifications in ' 4.8 Anchoring' on page 9.
–
Inspect the fishplates, load bolts and screw connections for
damage.
Connecting cable
–
Check that the length is adequate.
–
Check whether the cable diameter is sufficient for the
planned length (see Table 5 and 6 on page 12).
–
Check the entire length of the cable for visible damage.

Assembly
Requirements
Assembly may only be performed by trained personnel.

Anchor hoist
DANGER!
Incorrect anchoring!
Risk of being injured by falling objects!
–
Only attach the hoist at the specified anchorage bore-
holes with the specified anchoring devices.
–
The rope must run into the hoist vertically (see Fig. 2).
–
If greater payload is required: See the specifications in
' 4.9 Load limits' on Page 9.
Danger of severe injuries caused by incorrect anchoring!
High-strength, galvanized bolts and screws can become brittle
and break. Risk of falling and of being injured by falling ob-
jects!
–
High-strength galvanized bolts / screws (10.9 or 12.9)
may not be utilized for anchoring.
–
Utilize bolts / screws with the specified strength.
Cotter pins inserted incorrectly!
Risk of being injured by falling objects!
–
Insert the cotter pin according to Fig. 6.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect installation position!
Damage to the equipment may occur!
The equipment will be damaged if incorrect or insufficient
lubricant is used!
–
The hoist must not be mounted horizontally on the flat
side.
–
Attach the hoist in such a way that the flat side only
points to the side or upward, see Fig. 2.
–
Use screws with self-locking nuts to stop them from being
lost.
–
Secure the bolts with a cotter pin or similar lock.
