Danger of severe accidents!
Particular dangers exist when carrying out welding work.

dent prevention regulations when carrying out welding
work (e.g. BGR 159 in Germany).
ATTENTION!
Incorrect rope lengths!
Can result in damage to the device!
The rope end connection, the load bearing point or the rope
end itself must never be pulled up to or into the product or the

ng light coming on. No overload is present if the buzzer or the
warning light switches off as soon as the personnel lifting equip-
ment stops moving.

10.4 Operation using the hand crank

(optional version, see Table 1 on Page IV)
Hoists for manual emergency operation with hand crank may
only be operated with the hand crank in emergencies (power
failure, rescue).

Stop immediately when damage, loops or knots are de-
tected.
Stop: Release the button.
Press the EMERGENCY-STOP button.
If the EMERGENCY-STOP button fails, disconnect the hoist
power supply (e.g. by pulling out the plug).
Have the hoist inspected and serviced by an electrician or
authorized service personnel (see '15.1 Authorized mainte-
nance personnel' on page 19).
DANGER!
The hoist must always be tested by TRACTEL Greifzug
GmbH or a hoisting gear workshop that has been author-
ized by TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH after an emergency
descent.
Any damaged or worn part found must always be re-
placed.
In the event of overloading, never open the service brake
(spring-applied brake) manually.
Remove the lever (1) from the anchoring.
Insert the lever (1) into the brake bracket through the slot in
the hood of the motor (2).
Lift and hold the lever.
The load is lowered.
Let go of the lever to brake.
Anchor the lever again after use.
Send the hoist to the manufacturer for testing or repair or
send it to a specialist hoisting gear workshop.
