LOWERING THE LOAD
1.- To start to lower the load, turn the winch handle in anti-clockwise direction and the profiles will be lowered.
2.- When you have completely lowered the profiles stop turning the winch handles.
BLOCKING THE LOAD/SAFETY SYSTEMS
• AUTO-BRAKE HAND WINCH
This system automatically blocks the load in place as soon as you stop turning the handles. The resulting
braking of the load is directly proportional to the amount of load being lifted.
• IPB SYSTEM (Internal Pendulum Brake)
Each mast profile has an incorporated safety brake (called IPB) that works
automatically by inertia if there were to be a sudden drop in the mast profiles (uncommon
in its usual functioning). This system was designed for unlikely situations where the cable
becomes loose or breaks.
HOW TO UNBLOCK THE MAST PROFILES IF THE IPB SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED
1.- If it is activated due to a kink in the cable or sagging, the profiles must be raised by
turning the winch handle clockwise, this way the cable will become tensed again and the
safety brake will deactivate automatically, so you can continue to use the tower.
2.- In case of cable breakage:
2.1.- Firstly the load must be removed from the tower.
2.2.- Unblock each mast section, starting with the lowest one, by lifting them slightly,
either manually or with the help of a forklift or another sort of lifter. Unblock the IPB system
using the releasing.
AFTER EACH USE
1.- Completely lower the forks and remove any adaptor being used that is fixed to them.
2.- Put the forks into the storage position.
3.- Fold the side stabiliser legs.
NOTE: If the lever were to be stiff and you are unable to block it:
- Tilt the lifter slightly in the opposite direction to relieve the pressure of the blocking system.
- Or slightly raise the lifter using the front stabiliser legs’ adjustable wheels, to release the pressure
on the adjusting system.
