4. Configuració i preparació

1. Assess the Load: Determine the weight of the object to be moved. Ensure it does not exceed the hoist's 4000 kg capacity.
2. Identify Anchor Points: Select a secure and stable anchor point for the hoist. This point must be capable of supporting the full load.
3. Attach Hoist: Securely attach one of the hoist's hooks to the chosen anchor point. Ensure the safety latch is closed.
4. Adjuntar càrrega: Extend the cable and securely attach the other hook to the load. Ensure the safety latch is closed and the load is balanced.
5. Camí clar: Ensure the path of movement for the load is clear of obstructions and personnel.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Engaging the Ratchet Mechanism

Figure 5: Engaging the ratchet mechanism for pulling/lifting.

To begin pulling or lifting, ensure the ratchet mechanism is engaged. The lever should be positioned to allow the internal pawls to catch the gear teeth, preventing backward movement of the cable.

5.2. Pulling/Lifting the Load

Figure 6: Operating the lever to pull or lift the load.

Once the hoist is securely attached and the ratchet engaged, operate the main lever with a steady, rhythmic motion. Each stroke of the lever will pull the cable, moving the load incrementally. Maintain a firm grip on the handle and ensure your movements are controlled.

5.3. Releuasing the Load

Figure 7: Releasing the cable by disengaging the safety pawl.

To release the load, carefully disengage the safety pawl or release lever. This will allow the cable to unwind. Always maintain control of the lever during release to prevent sudden drops or uncontrolled movement of the load. Release the cable slowly and steadily.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your lever hoist.

• Neteja: After each use, clean the hoist to remove dirt, debris, and moisture.
• Lubricació: Periodically apply a light lubricant to moving parts, such as the ratchet mechanism and cable drum, to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
• Inspecció del cable: Regularly inspect the steel cable for fraying, kinks, broken strands, or corrosion. Replace the cable immediately if any damage is found.
• Inspecció del ganxo: Check hooks for deformation, cracks, or wear. Ensure safety latches operate freely and close securely.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the hoist in a dry, protected environment to prevent rust and damage.

7. Solució De Problemes

• Cable Jams: If the cable jams, it may be due to uneven winding or debris. Carefully release tension, inspect the cable path, and re-wind evenly. Ensure the cable is not twisted.
• El trinquet no s'engrana: Check for obstructions in the ratchet mechanism. Ensure the operating lever is fully engaged. Lubricate if necessary.
• Difficulty Operating Lever: This could indicate an overloaded condition or lack of lubrication. Reduce the load if it exceeds capacity. Apply lubricant to moving parts.
• Hooks Not Securing: Inspect the safety latches on the hooks. Clean any debris that might prevent them from closing properly. Replace hooks if latches are damaged.

For persistent issues or if you suspect internal damage, discontinue use and contact qualified service personnel or the manufacturer.
