1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THE WINCH MAY NOT BE USED FOR LIFTING OR MOVING PERSONS UNLESS IT IS CLASSIFIED AS A MAN RIDING WINCH. Read manual carefully before start, use or carry out any maintenance operation on the winch. This manual is issued with the scope to be a guide for the correct and safe use of the winch and for its rational maintenance.

24. Limit switches are installed as a safety device; they are not suited to be used as positioning devices; 25. Swinging loads will significantly increase the products load and must be avoided; 26. Do not handle wires without accident prevention gloves and never try to move wires under tension; 27.
2. INTRODUCTION GENERAL Depending on the specifications EMCÉ winches are mend for lifting and/or pulling materials and/of person. The application of the winches is mentioned on the winch tag plate and the winch datasheet (see annex 1). Any other use than mentioned on the tag plate or winch datasheet excludes EMCÉ of every responsibility. SPECIFICATIONS Identification data and specifications are mentioned on the identification plate attached to the winch.

Clutches: With a clutch the winch drum can be disengaged from the winch drive, which allows free running of the cable. The most common used is the claw clutch, which can’t be operated under load, so that the driveline must first be freed of the load (for example using a bandbrake on the winch drum).
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WINCHES GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE Pulling Winch: A winch is a pulling winch when transporting a load in horizontal sense. If the wire were to be cut during operation the load would stop moving. Lifting Winch: A lifting winch is any winch which moves a load vertically during part or all of its operation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT EMCÉ electric winches are standard supplied without controls. The required voltage can be found on the winch datasheet (see annex 1) and on the winch tag plate. The connection details of the motor can be found on the inside of the terminal box cover of the motor.

3.3.5 Handling of the winch For lifting the winch following possibilities should be used, starting from the top. Use the lifting lugs on the frame (if applied) Use the holes in the main plate (if applied) Use a sling around the drum General Manual Electric Winches with UMPH rope-English Rev.1.1 –...
4. INSTALLATION Every winch is delivered completely assembled, tested and packed on a pallet, unless specified otherwise. Check product integrity on delivery and immediately notify found damages to the transport company. For winch handling see section 3.5.6. All tenders and contracts for the performance of deliveries by us inside and outside the Netherlands are governed by the FME General Conditions for the sales and supply for mechanical and electrical industry of October 19 1998 filed under reference nr.
Installation of gear units classified under Directive 94/9/EC Category 2D gear units must be installed in compliance with the provisions of standards EN 1127-1 and EN 50281-1-2. The installer must, therefore, be fully informed and trained for this application. The installation technician must be aware of the ATEX class of the installation area, as well as the risks associated with the presence of a potentially explosive atmosphere, with particular attention to explosion and fire hazards, and thereby adopt the necessary safety precautions.
Page 14
Other possibilities In some cases a different fastening of the rope than mentioned before is provided. In these cases the rope is fastened by means of: A hole in the drum with several fixing bolts Special wire clamps on the drum Always keep a minimum of 6 wire coils winded around the drum to warrant a safe winch load holding.
Page 15
Failure to carry out any of the above could result in unsatisfactory and unsafe rope performance. Coils Place the coil on the ground and roll it out straight ensuring that it does not become contaminated with dust/grit, moisture or any other harmful material.
strength in order to avoid turn being transmitted from the old rope into the new rope. Alternatively a length of fibre or steel rope of adequate strength may be reeved into the system for use as a pilot/messenger line. Do not use a swivel during the installation of the rope.
5. WORKING WITH THE MACHINE START, NORMAL OPERATION AND STOP 5.1.1 Check list for prestart preparation 1. Perform the frequent inspection (see chapter 5.2) at the beginning of each shift. 2. Do not operate winch with any personnel near the line of force or capable of coming into contact with moving parts.
Page 18
Manual operated bandbrake (optional) The bandbrake on a winch can be used to lock the winch drum during maintenance or when the disengagement clutch on the drum is released. When a load remains in the cable after the job with the winch is finished the bandbrake should also be engaged to prevent that the loads remains on the winch drive when the winch is not in use.
On a winch without bandbrake the clutch may only be operated when there is no load in the cable. The winch drum may only be rotated manually when there is no load in the cable. Before rotating the winch drum manually, the winch must be isolated from the main supply. A dangerous occurrence is likely to occur if the motor is powered.
Page 20
reports should be dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection, and kept on file where they are readily available for review. Rope Reports Records should be maintained as part of a long-range rope inspection program. Records should include the condition of rope removed from service.

previous inspections. If the actual diameter of the fiber rope has decreased more than 0.4 mm (1/64inch) a thorough examination of the fiber rope should be conducted by an experienced inspector to determine the suitability of the fiber rope to remain in service. e.

Chemical contamination: unless the chemical is specifically known to be harmless, it should be • considered a contaminant. Texture inconsistency: soft, mushy places or hard spots (localized or over an extended area). • Age: the rope is simply worn out from use. •...
TROUBLE SHOOTING TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY Product will not operate. No motor power. Check connections, circuits. Product is overloaded. Check the load. Brake is not released. Release or clean the brake. Check brake circuit. Load doesn't stop. Brake is slipping. Check air gap of brake or replace brake.
6. MAINTENANCE EMCÉ winches are engineered to a bare minimum of maintenance operations. Following maintenance operations are required for all EMCÉ winches. Specific maintenance operations are mentioned in annex 2. For installation in zones 21 and 22 the user must schedule and implement a regular cleaning program for all surfaces and recesses to avoid dust build ups of more than 5 mm in depth.
6.2.1 Worm-gearboxes All other worm-gearboxes are filled with E.P. (extreme pressure) rated mineral gear oil with ISO viscosity grade: ISO VG 320. Change the oil after the first 300 running hours. Subsequent oil changes are to follow at 4000 running hour intervals, or at least once a year. Oil temperatures up to 70°C are normal.

AC INDUCTION THREE-PHASE MOTORS Three-phase cage motors driven by frequency converters Maximum converter output voltage 500V at peak voltages Û ≤ 1460 V and du/dt ≤13 kV/us. For higher converter output voltages or stresses, a special insulation is required. With square characteristic of the load torque, motors can be driven with their rated torque. For constant torque, the rated torque of motors with internal cooling must be reduced due to reduced cooling air inlet.

AC INDUCTION THREE-PHASE MOTORS Used petrol or benzene in airtight tanks should be disposed of as special refuse with the marking «Petrol» or «Benzene». Afterwards, with the outer bearing cap open but the inner cap screwed on, the rotor should be turned slowly and grease pressed in through the regreasing device until approximately half the empty space between the rolling elements and the roller tracks is filled with grease.
