INTRODUCTION
Products of CMCO Industrial Products GmbH
have been built in accordance with the state-
of-the-art and generally accepted engineering
standards. Nonetheless, incorrect handling
when using the products may cause dangers
to life and limb of the user or third parties
and/or damage to the hoist or other property.
The operating company is responsible for
the proper and professional instruction of
the operating personnel. For this purpose, all
operators must read these operating instruc-
tions carefully prior to the initial operation.
These operating instructions are intended to
acquaint the user with the product and enable
him to use it to the full extent of its intended
capabilities. The operating instructions contain
important information on how to operate the
product in a safe, correct and economic way.
Acting in accordance with these instructions
helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs
and downtimes and to increase the reliability
and lifetime of the product. The operating
instructions must always be available at the
place where the product is operated. Apart
from the operating instructions and the
accident prevention act valid for the respec-
tive country and area where the product is
used, the commonly accepted regulations
for safe and professional work must also be
adhered to.
The personnel responsible for operation,
maintenance or repair of the product must
read, understand and follow these operating
instructions.
The indicated protective measures will only
provide the necessary safety, if the product
is operated correctly and installed and/or
maintained according to the instructions. The
operating company is committed to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation of the product.
CORRECT OPERATION
- The hand rope winch is used for pulling and
lashing of loads up to the indicated pulling
force.
ATTENTION: The unit must only be used
for pulling and lashing purposes. Lifting and
lowering of loads is prohibited, i.e. pulling
and lashing loads on inclined levels is not
permissible, either.
- Any diff erent or exceeding use is con-
sidered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon
Industrial Products GmbH will not accept
any liability for damage resulting from
such use. The risk is borne by the user
or operating company alone.
EN
- The maximum pulling force indicated on the
unit is the maximum working load limit (WLL)
that may be attached.
ATTENTION: With the indicated crank eff ort,
the maximum load capacity is only reached
in the fi rst rope layer.
- The selection and calculation of the appropri-
ate supporting structure are the responsibil-
ity of the operating company.
- The hoist must be arranged between attach-
ment point and load in such a way that it can
freely align in the direction of the rope and
pulling force.
- The operator must ensure that the hoist is
attached in a manner that makes it possible
to operate the hoist without exposing himself
or other personnel to danger by the unit
itself, the suspension or the load.
- The operator may start moving the load only
after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
- Loads must not be left unattended or remain
clamped for a longer period of time.
- The operator should always stand next to the
load lifting attachment at a safety distance
of one arm’s length.
- The hoist may be used at ambient tempera-
tures between –10 °C and +50 °C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of
extreme working conditions.
ATTENTION: Before use at ambient tempe-
ratures of less than 0 °C, check the locking
mechanism for freezing by pulling or tensio-
ning and releasing a small load 2 - 3 times.
- Prior to operation of the hoist in special
atmospheres (high humidity, salty, caustic,
alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g.
molten compounds, radioactive materials),
consult the manufacturer for advice.
- The rope must only be returned by means of
fully functional and suffi ciently dimensioned
rope pulleys (return pulleys).
- Only use safety hooks with safety latches.
- ATTENTION: Always wear safety gloves for
handling the wire rope.
- ATTENTION: For safe operation never fully
unwind the wire rope under load. Always
leave at least 3 turns of the rope on the rope
drum in order to prevent the rope from being
pulled off the rope drum.
- If the attached load is in the lowest position,
at least 3 rope windings must still remain on
the drum.
- The drum fl anges must be min. 1.5 times
the diameter of the rope.
- Carefully move the slack rope to the load.
- For attaching a load, only approved and
certifi ed lifting tackle must be used.
- Correct operation involves compliance with
the operating instructions and in addition
also compliance with the maintenance
instructions.
- In case of functional defects or abnormal
operating noise, stop using the hoist im-
mediately.
INCORRECT OPERATION
(List not complete)
- Do not exceed the max. permissible pulling
force (WLL).
- Do not allow the load to fall into the slack
rope – danger of rope rupture!
- The load lifting attachment must only be
operated with wire ropes with a diameter
that matches the data on the identity plate.
- Removing or covering (e.g. by adhesive
labels) labels, warning information signs or
the identity plate is prohibited.
- When transporting loads ensure that the
load does not come into contact with other
objects.
- The load must not be moved into areas which
are not visible to the operator. If necessary,
he must ensure he is given help.
- Driving the unit with a motor is not allowed.
- The lever must not be extended (Fig. 1). Only
original hand levers must be used.
- The unit must never be operated with more
than the power of a person.
- Welding work on the unit is prohibited. The
unit must never be used as a ground con-
nection during welding (Fig. 2).
- ATTENTION: Do not touch the rope inlet!
Danger of injury!
- Side pull, i. e. side loading of the housing
and/or the load hook or the bottom block
(Fig. 3) is forbidden. Always pull/tension
within a straight line between both hooks
and make sure that the unit can align freely.
- A unit changed without consulting the
manufacturer must not be used.
- Do not use the hoist for the transportation
of people (Fig. 4).
- The rope must not be used as a rope sling
(Fig. 5).
- Do not tie knots in the rope or extend or
shorten it by using rope clamps, screws or
similar (Fig. 6). Ropes must not be repaired.
- Do not pull the rope over edges.
- Removing the safety latches from top and/
or load hooks is forbidden (Fig. 7).
- Never attach the load to the tip of the hook
(Fig. 8). The lifting tackle must always be
seated in the saddle of the hook.
- The load must not be allowed to revolve
around its own axis, since the rope and the
load hook of the unit have not been designed
for turning attached loads. If loads must be
turned in normal operation, an anti-twist
swivel must be used or the manufacturer
must be consulted. The rope must not twirl
