Ask someone to observe the slewing direction for you, or stand next to the
auxiliary hoist and use the hand-held control.

clamp (2).
• Drive slowly, and complete the lifting and
lowering movements – stop the movement
as soon as the hoist drum turns.

If the slewing direction is incorrect

mixed up;
à p. 6 - 96.
Slewing indicator Check the function of the slewing indicator when applying the hoist rope.
• You must feel a pulse on the slewing indicator (1) when the auxiliary hoist
is rotating.
• If no pulse is present, contacts Manitowoc Crane Care.

Risk of accidents due to incorrect slewing direction!
Check after each installation that the slewing direction is correct.
This prevents accidents caused by the hoist rope winding up unexpectedly
when it is applied.
G
Danger due to slack rope!
Only drive the auxiliary hoist briefly and at the lowest speed.
This prevents slack rope from being created, or the rope end fitting being
pulled into the hoisting gear frame.
