4. SETTING INTO SERVICE

4.1 SUPERTIRFOR™ GRIPHOIST

4.1.1 TU16H

1) Install the ram bracket (item 29, figure 14, page B) on
the attachment fitting (item 27) of the unit. A 13mm
tubular socket wrench is required for this operation.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the 6 screws and washers (item 1) and the bolt
and washer (item 2).
• Slightly loosen the 4 screws (item 3) on one side of the
unit.
• Install the ram bracket (item 29), positioning it on the
locating pins (figure 15, item 1, page B).
• Install the 6 screws and washers (item 1) then install the
bolt and washer (item 2).
• Lock all the screws (items 1, 2 and 3).
DANGER
: Never use the SUPERTIRFOR™
machine if there is any foreign matter inside the unit.

IMPORTANT

: When removing and installing the
screws (item 1), be careful not to allow any washer to fall
into the housing of the TU16H. If a washer falls into the
unit, you must absolutely, mandatory recover it.
2) Identify the desired working direction. Secure the VA2
ram on the ram bracket (page B, figure 16, item 29),
using the pin, in the position corresponding to the
working direction:
- FORWARD OPERATION: ram in position A.
- REVERSE OPERATION: ram in position C.
3) Secure the ram yoke (page B, figure 16, item 31) on the
forward or reverse operating lever using the pin.
- FORWARD OPERATION: ram yoke in position B.
- REVERSE OPERATION: ram yoke in position D.
IMPORTANT
: It is prohibited to install two rams
simultaneously on a SUPERTIRFOR™ TU16H machine.
NOTE
: Insertion of the pin can be facilitated
by acting on the operating lever (forward or reverse)
which you intend to use. Check that the pins are
correctly inserted in their housing. A strong click
(corresponding to impact of the pin stop against the
bearing) will allow you to ensure that locking is correct
(pins must be properly lubricated).

the machine located at the end opposite that by which
the machine is secured (hook or pin).
4. Push the cable through the machine, assisting the
movement if necessary, by acting on the forward
operating lever.
5. Once the SUPERTIRFOR™ wire rope comes out on the
other side, run the cable by pulling it by hand up to the
desired point.
6. Engage the mechanism by acting on the clutch handle
(see chapter "Releasing / Engaging clutch").
7. Secure the SUPERTIRFOR™ machine or the wire rope
to the selected fixed anchoring point (see chapter 6
"Securing the machine"), taking care to lock the
anchoring component, hook or pin (depending on the
model).
