Spurgear winch with hoisting load of 500kg
Function Description
The PlusWinch is a drum winch 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 handle is
adjustable in length and detachable. This version is
equipped with cable drum free spooling.
Mounting Instructions
The PlusWinch must be mounted with the bolts as
set out in the table on page 10.
To avoid tension build up in the PlusWinch housing
there must be a smooth surface at the mounting
bolt position.
Additional notes for Correct Operation
The structure must be of a suitable grade and
strength for the anchor method
The level of the mounted PlusWinch must be
checked with a spirit level in order to ensure
good cable movement.
Refer to PlusWinch bracket Assembly & Operation
Guide.
Cable Mounting
For PlusWinch with a hoisting load of 500kg the
cable must run-off upwards from the right side of
the drum.
Warning: The brake will not function if cable is
incorrectly fitted
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 PlusWinch 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 (See Fig. 2).
Correct Operation
The PlusWinch is suitable for manual operation
only. For the load to be hoisted, turn the handle
clockwise. For the load to be lowered, turn the
handle anticlockwise.
To enable the load pressure brake to function
correctly, the PlusWinch must carry a minimum load
of 70kg.
The PlusWinch is equipped with a Free Spool
(FS) option for the cable drum. Follow the next
instructions to engage and disengage the cable
drum.
