Starting The Motor In The Half-Throttle Position; Pulling The Load - eder 1800 Mode D'emploi

Commissioning and operation
80 Capstan winch 1800, 1200, 400

Starting the motor in the half-throttle position

If work is taking place in particularly cold weather or at altitudes with
low air pressure, you can start the motor in the half-throttle position.
If you are starting the motor in the half-throttle position, the capstan
winch revs slightly when starting.
›
Bring the rope locking mechanism into the half-throttle position and
push the half-throttle pin down at the same time.
The rope locking mechanism is latched in the half-throttle position.
The half-throttle position is released again by drawing on the pulling
rope. The half-throttle pin springs back into its original position.
›
Start the motor as described in "Starting the motor" on page 77.

Pulling the load

Risk of injury if safe distances are not maintained!
If safe distances are not maintained when operating the capstan
winch, there is a risk of serious injuries.
›
When operating the capstan winch, maintain a distance of at
least 5 m from the capstan winch and pulling rope.
Damage to the mechanism if the pulling rope is pulled too
vigorously!
If you pull on the pulling rope particularly vigorously, this will increase
the friction and therefore also the pulling rope wear. This results in a
risk of damage to mechanical parts, such as the rope hook or locking
mechanism.
›
Never pull forcefully on the pulling rope.
›
Make sure that the capstan winch is lined up precisely with the
load.
