RULES AND SAFETY USE Do not lift the tower without proper leveling. To lift a load, the tower must always be stabilized. The wheels must not touch the ground. Figure 49 Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts of the tower.
Before placing a load, make sure that the load never exceeds the maximum allowed. Consult the section of load data Figure 54 Mount the longest legs stabilizers in the part of the horns. Safety pins must lock the stabilizers. Figure 57 Never move a load without level.

Not grease and lubricate the mechanism of the winch and the pulleys of the masts. Figure 62 Verify that the tower is beyond the reach of power Figure 60 lines. Not allowed to lift people or animals. The tower is not electrically insulated and can transmit currents of power lines.

Do not use the tower as a support of banner or another type of decoration with strong wind. That can destabilize the tower and make it fall down. Figure 64 Not lift a load if there is danger of collision. Take at least 1.5 meters on any direction to lift safety the load.

HOW TO USE. STEP BY STEP Place the reinforcement bars and fix it with its pins. Figure 71 Fix and secure the legs stabilizers to the base. Figure 74 Place the tower in its working position and level until the bubble level is centered. Figure 72 Turn the horns and adjust to the desired width.

LOAD DATA Before placing a load, make sure that it can be raised to the maximum height of the tower. Otherwise it could cause an accident or damage the tower. Figure 86 Place and position detal of the load. Place of the load. 4.
Load table. P.A. lifting systems are designed so that the maximum load is placed in the central area of the horns allowing a better use of the system. Following can be found the maximum loads to be borne by each tower model for maximum working height.

USE AS MECHANISM. The tower lifter works like a mechanism when the load is lifted using the winch. USE AS STRUCTURE. The tower lifter Works like an structure when all mast are blocked and the Steel wire doen’t have strenght. In that case, all parts of the tower Works like a big column to support load.
Degree of compaction load. Hard surfaces such as dirt or gravel may vary depending on the resistance relative humidity. This relative humidity varies over the day, so that the resistance of the soil to absorb tower effort loaded, too. Place a tower under these conditions may result in the ground yield below the supports of the tower.
DYNSYS SYSTEM The Dynsys system is an optional solution to control the maximum load in our tower lifters. The Dynsys limits the máximum load avoiding to lift a load bigger than the máximum load. The limitation is do it for use as a machine system. For more information about the máximum load, check the load table. In case of lift a load bigger than the máximum of the tower, the Dynsys detects the incriase of load and stops the elevation.
If any doubt, contact with Fantek Industrial S.L. In case of replacement of pieces. Replace only original parts Fantek Industrial S.L. Otherwise, the warranty is voided. Is recommended a review of the tower by specialized staff of Fantek Industrial S.L. once a year.
TRANSPORT To the transport of the towers: Verify that the legs stabilizers are securely fixed to the tower in the transport and they cannot be released. Check that the horns are well fixed with pins and cannot get out. Check that the carrier is properly secured to the carrier brake system. Check that all sections are locked.
With truck or container. For the transport by truck or container, always tie the tower by two points. Use ratchets not less than 1000 kg of force for the T-117PA, T-118PA and T-200PA models. Use ratchets no less than 2000 kg of force for the T-600Pa and T-108PA models.
In horizontal For horizontal transport must actuate the horizontal wheel so that it protrudes from the tower. Once prepared and with the certainty that all moving parts are subject (legs stabilizers, carrier, etc ...), dump the tower between the people needed until the horizontal wheel contact with the ground.
Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on the Machinery Directive. The tower lifters described meet all the specific requirements in DIN56950: 1/3. The tower lifters described meet all the specific requirements in DGUV V17/18 Manufacturer: FANTEK INDUSTRIAL S.L. Person responsible of the Jose Vila Ortiz technical data: Address: Pol.
On the one hand, lifting towers adopt designs and materials in order to achieve a high degree of safety in quantities such as supported load, equilibrium, resistance to friction, etc. Thus lifter towers FANTEK DGUV V17/18 certified, they assure the user that have passed strict controls during design, choice of materials or load checks and effort.
