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 and CW 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 CW type winches with hoisting load of 150, 700, 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.
The fixing of the cable for the CW700 is done directly on the drum by means of a double lock. I.e. an additional winding of the
cable can be clamped in by the 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.
