Repairs of the appliance can only be executed by an
electrician. There might be significant risks as a
result of unauthorised repairs.
The same regulations apply for accessories.
Güde GmbH & Co. KG does not answer for damages
caused by:
Appliance damage by mechanical influences and
overloading.
Any changes to the appliance.
Use for any other purpose than that described in
the Operating Instructions.
Unconditionally follow all safety instructions to
prevent accidents and damage.
Important safety instructions
The cable winch must be checked before starting work if
all components are working perfectly. In particular, check
the perfect state of the snap hooks preventing any
unintentional release of the lifting hook from slings
(ropes, rings, transportation eyes, etc.).
The cable reel can only be used for lifting of burdens
whose weight does not exceed the maximum load
capacity specified by the producer in technical data and
on the type label of the cable reel.
Burdens fixed in conflict with regulations that could fall
down must not be lifted.
Attach the load correctly.
Lifted loads may only be lifted in a vertical position!
Never pull and lift in an inclined position!
No persons – except for the operator – may stay under
the load or in the dangerous area. Keep the minimum
distance of 10 m from the lifted load.
All lifting work is only allowed when appropriate fixing
elements (cables, rings, transport loops, etc.) are used
and when in accordance with appropriate provisions and
standards valid in the workplace.
The reel metal cable must not be used for burden fixing.
Putting the cable reel into operation is only allowed with a
perfectly balanced cable.
The cable reel cannot be left unattended with burdens
lifted up.
The load capacity of bearing structures must be checked
before you start working with the cable reel.
Check the cables for any wear-out before you start
working with the cable reel; if there are any signs of wear-
out the cables need to be replaced with new ones whose
characteristics must correspond to the maximum allowed
load capacity of the cable reel. Cables only need to be
replaced with original spare cables.
If you face any problems with working of the cable reel
please contact your authorised dealer and refrain from
any improvisation work.
The cable reel engine drive is not fitted with an engine
protection circuit-breaker. The engine therefore cannot be
overloaded when there are any problems with lifting; in
such a case check whether the lifted burden does not
exceed the allowed load capacity of the cable reel and
whether the system voltage has not dropped.
To be able to intervene in time in case of any imminent
danger, the operating staff must operate the cable reel
from a suitable place to control the entire workplace.
Make sure the cable always reels up smoothly on
the drum. pic. 4
Make sure the cable reel cable is always twined around
the drum at least thrice when working.
The cable reel must not be changed anyhow; use only
devices supplied with the cable reel for lifting.
Use the lifting devices supplied with the cable reel only in
a manner described in these Operating Instructions. Do
not use these devices for any other appliance or purpose.
Do not use an adhesive tape or any other tools for
connecting the feeder cable to the extension cable.
Make sure the electric characteristics of the network for
cable reel connection correspond to the values specified
on the engine type label.
When an extension cable is used, make sure that the
cable with the plug and socket correspond to the cable
reel input.
The steel cable needs to be checked for any
damage each time you put it into operation. It is
strictly prohibited to use the cable reel when the cable
is damaged (pic. 3)
Lifting of persons inadmissible.
Disorder in the workplace can cause accidents.
Protect against electric shock. Prevent your body from
coming into contact with earthed parts.
Check whether your appliance is not damaged. Carefully
inspect safety devices if not faulty or working improperly
before further use of the appliance. Check whether
functions of movable parts are all right, whether not
clogged or damaged. All parts must be installed correctly
so that all appliance conditions were guaranteed. Any
damaged protective device and part must be
professionally repaired or replaced in a customer service
centre unless provided otherwise in the Operating
Instructions. Damaged switches must be replaced in a
customer service centre. Do not use devices whose
switches cannot be on or off.
The cable reel electric motor is protected with a
thermal fuse. When the thermal fuse responses, the
cable reel stops. The cable reel can be used again
only after cooled down (app. 5 minutes).
Caution: The cable winch is not suitable for
industrial or continuous operation and it may get
switched off after several operating cycles. When
used for industrial purposes, the appliance must be
checked by an expert before being put into
operation for the first time in accordance with the
applicable operating safety regulations.
Have any damaged part immediately replaced.
Never take part in any repair (guarantee expiry and risk
taking).
Do not unnecessarily expose the cable reel to climatic
influences, solar radiation, dust or low temperatures.
It is explicitly prohibited that persons stayed or
walked under or in the immediate vicinity of the hung
burdens.
Your electric cable reel is fitted with a safety switch.
Press the red safety switch in case of emergency!! If
you want to release the safety switch blocking then
turn it by quarter of a turn clockwise.
Attention:
The cable reel has a limit switch that stops the engine if
the drum is just twined around thrice.
Inadmissible operation
The following manners of use are prohibited!
1.
Lifting when cable is not hanging vertically.
2.
Trying to lift burdens connected to earth.
3.
Lifting of burdens hung outside of axis of gravity.
4.
Swinging with the hung burden when trying to get the
burden outside of the reel axis.
5.
Burden lifting or sinking if there are any obstacles in the
burden lifting or sinking path.
6.
Leaving the reel with a hung burden unattended.
7.
Operating the reel from a place where the entire burden
is not in the visual field of the operating staff
8.
Lifting of people
Lifting of burdens with a weight exceeding the
maximum allowed load of the reel.
Using the cable reel in any other than faultless
condition.
