6. OPERATIOn

The safety instructions specified in Chapter 2 apply.
– Always work with the consideration of safety and risks.
– Never overload the winches
– When changing the rotation direction of the motor wait until
it has come to a standstill.
– Observe duty cycle (type plate, technical data in Chapter 3.3).
For example 40% ED (according to VDE 0530) means,
that the motor can operate for 4 minutes during a period
of 10 minutes. It is thereby irrelevant how heavy the load is
and whether the 4 minutes are consecutive or in intervals.
S2-12 min. means that the motor can run continuously for
12 minutes, afterwards however must cool down to the
ambient temperature.
– The load must be safely suspended in the load carrying
equipment and both must be safely hooked into the load
hook and be located on the base of the hook. The safety
catch of the hook must be closed.
– Always initiate load movement with lowest speed. First
tension the rope, it may not be slack at the beginning of the
load movement.
– Continuously observe load during the movement.
– Pay attention to rope damages. Immediately report defects
to the responsible person. First repair defects, then conti-
nue working.
– Carry out required examinations and observe maintenance
intervals.

7. ExAmInATIOn, SERVIcE, mAInTEnAncE

Winches, lifting and towing appliances including their suppor-
ting structure must be examined by an expert:
– Before commissioning.
– After substantial modifications before recommissioning
– At least once annually.
– If unusual events have taken place, which could have a
damaging effect on the safety of the winch (extraordinary
examination, e.g. after longer disuse, accidents, natural
occurences).
– After repairs, which could affect the safety of the winch.

A person is an expert, who due to his professional training and
experience has sufficient knowledge in the area of winches,
lifting and towing appliances and is familiar with the relevant
national industrial safety and accident prevention regulations
as well as with the general rules of technology (laws, stan-
dards, technical rules and regulations) in such a way, that he
can assess the safe operating condition of the device.
The examinations must be arranged by the operator.
z Test results and met measures must be documented
in the provided test book.
– All monitoring, maintenance and service work serves
safe operation and must therefore be carried out
carefully and conscientiously.
– As far as possible carry out the tests without load.

7.1 Inspection intervals

The specified monitoring and maintenance intervals apply wi-
thin the assumed motor group for normal use and single shift
operation. The intervals must be reduced in the case of heavy
duty operations (e.g. frequent operation under full load) or
special environmental conditions (e.g. heat, dust).
7.2 Examination before commissioning and after
substantial changes before Recommissioning
The examination comprises the correct installation and opera-
tional readiness and consists essentially of visual examinations
and functional tests. They should guarantee that the device is
in a safe condition and that if necessary defects and damages,
which are e.g. caused by inappropriate transport, are identified
and repaired. The scope of the examination is described in the
enclosed test book.
The examination after substantial changes depends on kind
and extent of the substantial change and must be carried out
following the examination before commissioning.

7.3 Recurring Examination

The examinations are essentially visual examinations and
functional tests, whereby the condition of components regar-
ding damage, wear, corrosion, or other changes is assessed;
the completeness and effectiveness of the safety devices must
also be determined. The function and brake tests must be
accomplished with a load, which nearly achieves the permis-
sible load-carrying capacity. The overload protection must be
examined with a test load according to Chapter 8.7. The scope
of the examination is described in the enclosed test book.
