3.1. Function description
The TL type winches are drum winches with a spur gear transmission. The load is held at each required height by a built in load pressure brake. The housing is
made of plate steel and is suitable for mounting on walls, masts and the like. The crank is adjustable in length and detachable. The FS versions are equipped
with the option to have the cable drum free spooling.
3.2. Mounting instructions
The winch must be mounted with the bolts as set out in chart 1. To avoid tension build up in the winch housing, pay attention to the following:
-
there must be a smooth surface at the mounting bolt position;
-
the wall or other construction must have sufficient carrying power;
-
the level of the mounted winch must be checked with a spirit level in order to ensure good cable movement.
All the nuts of the mounting bolts must be evenly fastened and secured.
3.3. Cable mounting
For the choice of cable, chart 1 must be consulted. For TL and TC type winches with hoisting load of 150, 1000 and 1500 kg the cable must run-off upwards
from the right side of the drum. For the TL300 and TL600 the cable must run-off upwards from the left side of the drum
Be careful! The brake does not work in the case of an incorrect cable run-off.
The cable length must be of sufficient length to allow for 3 windings to remain on the drum when in the lowest position. The
cable mounting is done by means of the fixed cable clamp.
3.4. Before use
To enable the load pressure brake to function correctly, the winch must carry a minimum load of approximately 10% of the
nominal load.
3.5. Operating
The winches are suitable for manual operation only. For the load to be hoisted, turn the crank clockwise. For the load to be lowered, turn the crank
anticlockwise.
The winch is equipped with a Free Spool (FS) option for the cable drum. Follow the next instructions to engage and
disengage the cable drum.
To be able to operate the Free spool clutch handle ( red lever) there must be no load on the drum.
To disengage:
Set the cable drum free by turning the drum 2-3 mm in direction A. Then pull and turn the clutch handle in direction B or C.
The drum is now free to spool of the cable
To engage:
Turn the clutch handle in direction B or C. Rotate the cable drum in direction B or C until it locks. The winch is now ready to
hoist.
