9 OPERATION
 Prior to starting work, please be sure that the steel cable (7) is wound up exactly, layer
next to layer on the cable spool (6). Never unwind the cable completely!
 Unwind the cable only to the point that at least 3 more layers are located on the drum.
 If the red indicator mark is visible, please stop the cable hoist immediately and do not
continue to unwind the cable!
 Always wind the cable as shown in Fig. 4.
Note: When replace the wire rope, be sure to pull rope into the square hole
of rope drum, and then pull it out from the round hole. With that wind the
rope two circles and then pull it to the edge which is side of rope drum and
fix it.
 The cable hoist is operated using the remote control (14). When operating the upper
position of the switch, the load is hoisted up. When operating the lower position, the load
is lowered. Never switch directly from hoisting to lowering or vice versa. Always stop the
cable hoist prior to changing directions.
 Operate the Emergency switch (15) to immediately stop the cable hoist in case of an
emergency and to secure against restart. To reset the device to operational status, first
turn the Emergency switch (15) clockwise, which will unlock the Emergency switch (15).
The cable hoist is now operational.
 The cable hoist is designed with limit configuration to limit stop. When load hook (12) is
hoisting up to topmost position, the stopper (10) touch the lift limit bracket (8), the micro
switch of lift limit bracket (8) can cut off the circuit and make the motor stop to insure the
safety of operations. When load hook (12) is lowering down nearly to use up the cable (7),
the micro switch of down limit bracket (9) start work and cut off the circuit and make the
motor stop.
Attention! If the cable has been unwound to the point where the red micro
switch is visible, the cable hoist must be stopped. Under no circumstances
should the cable be unwound past this point'
 If the cable hoist cannot hoist a load immediately, switch it off immediately to prevent
damages and accidents.
 Please be sure that the load is securely fastened to the load hook (12-13). Maintain the
largest possible distance to the load and steel cable (7) during operation.
 Upon lowering a load, please remember that the cable hoist may still unwind a few more
centimetres after it was stopped. Therefore, please stop in sufficient time.
 Please be sure that the steel cable (7) cannot be moved more than 15° to the side.
 The cable hoist can be operated with a single or double cables, therefore the permissible
rated load, see Technical Specifications, can vary.
 After unpacking the items, check to make sure that all pieces and accessories correspond
with the directions. Check to see if the cable hoist has any dents or damage, if the cable
connections have any defects and if the motor shows any signs of rain or water damage.
 The cable hoist uses a single-phase energy power supply. The nominal voltage is 230V +
20%, the nominal frequency is 50Hz + 1%. The motor must be safely grounded. In the
circuitry of the power supply an over-current protection must be installed.
 After connecting the power supply, the pulley can then be raised and lowered in Jog-
mode. One can raise and lower start-up during a dry-run. First when the up and down
movement is stable and the brakes work flawlessly, once can test the pulley with a dummy
load.
