Securing The Traction And Safety Wire Rope - Avanti SHARK L AECO Original Instructions Manual

1.6 Securing the traction and
safety wire ropes
The traction wire rope is fastened as described in
point 1.6.1 below and the safety wire rope is
fastened in one of three ways described in point
1.6.2 and 1.6.3.
Before fastening the safety wire rope, leave the
service lift hanging from the safety wire rope for
a while so that wire rope stretches. Before
fastening the safety wire rope, carry out the fall
arrest device test (See Installation Manual
section).
1.6.1 Counterweight of the traction wire rope
1. Mount an 24.2 lbs (11 kg) counterweight on
the traction wire rope (see Fig. 13).
2. If the basement is less than 59 in (1500 mm)
high, place the counterweight approximately 11.8
in (300 mm) below the floor.
3. If the basement is more than 59 in (1500 mm)
high, place the counterweight approximately 11.8
in (300 mm) below the cable bin.
4. Coil the excess of the wire rope and fix with at
least 3 cable ties.
The traction wire rope shall be able to
rotate freely.
