Installation and operating manual
– Rope, products in contact with the rope and rigging must not
be soiled by heavily soiling building materials such as conc-
rete, epoxy resin or other adhesive materials. Protect the
products against soiling! Always use brush attachments to
clean the wire rope in an extremely dirty environment.
– If sand-blasting or painting work is carried out in the vicinity
of the hoist, cover the hoists so that the effectiveness of the
brake is not impaired.
– Abide by the rope's withdrawal criteria, see '15.4 Care and

specialist. Repairs are only to be carried out by a specialist
workshop or by personnel from TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH.
– Never use a high pressure cleaner to clean the rope or
products in contact with the rope! Penetrating moisture will
result in malfunctions and damage to mechanical installati-
ons (e.g. brakes, ball bearings) and the electrical equipment.

corrosion of the wire rope, rigging and products in contact
with the rope.
