4. FUNCTION AND OPERATION OF THE WINCH

Observe all safety instructions (Chapter: 2.)!
Also follow important tips in the frames!
4.1. RELEASE THE WIRE ROPE (PERMANENT BRAKE RELEASE)
Control Console Type A:
By switching on the »Wire rope release« switch on the control console, release the brake
band so that the drum is released, too, to turn freely. The wire rope can be pulled off the
drum. Make sure that the wire rope pulling power is set correctly (Chapter: 4.5).
As long as the »Wire rope release« switch is ON, the remaining bottoms on the control
console are out of function.
Control Console Type B:
Push and hold the »Brake release« button on the control console, to release the brake band
and allow drum rotation. Now, the wire rope can be pulled off the drum. Make sure that the
wire rope pulling power is set correctly (Chapter: 4.5.).
Push the »Pull« button to stop the wire rope release.
When pulling the wire rope use constant force without jerking which may cause the loosening
of the wire rope on the drum and building loops.
When uncoiling the wire rope off the drum, be careful not to rip it off at the connecting point.
4.2. PULLING (COILING THE WIRE ROPE )
Control Console Type A:
By switching off the »Wire rope release« switch and pushing the »Pull« button on the control
console the winch starts to pull. When the »Pull« button is released, the pulling is interrupted.
During the interruption, the brake band automatically switches on and prevents the load from
sliding when the pulling is stopped.
Control Console Type B:
By pushing the »Pull« button on the control console the pulling is engaged. The pulling is
stopped when you release the »Pull« button on the control console.
The brake prevents the load from sliding backwards when pulling is stopped.
4a
Although the power of the PTO shaft drive remains constant, the pulling power changes.
Limit switch (Fig. 4a) automatically shuts down pulling,
when rope is fully coiled.
When limit switch shuts down pulling, you must pull out
approx. 15 cm of rope to release limit switch spring.
