2.7.4 Traction rope

The condition of the rope is decisive for the reliability of the drive system.

Rope structure and inherent strength (transverse compressive strength, impact resistance) must resist the loads which occur.

Only suitable original HABEGGER ropes must be used.

The pulling rope must not be lubricated, and must be kept clean.

The rope diameter must match that on the type plate.

Damage of the rope: crushed, unwound, non-circular, kinked ropes or ropes with strand breaks or tangles

must not be used. (ISO 4309)

Ropes with broken wires: remove carefully and correctly.

Rope connections, sleeves, compression heads, short splices and so on must not run through the drive

system.

When deflecting the rope over sharp edges, obstacles and so on protect the rope using suitable floor roll-

ers or supports made of wood or plastic.

Due to unloading of the rocker, the loose robe end (2) must not hang freely for more than 50 m.

For lengths greater than 20 m the loose rope end (2) must be rolled up properly (rollers, reels). Rope

twists, tangles, kinks etc. must be avoided!

Before all work, close and lock housing cover (11) above the drive system.

When handling wire ropes wear gloves.

2.8

In an emergency Release throttle lever. The driving wheel will immediately stop moving and the built-in

backstop will stop the driving wheel from turning backwards.

The loose rope end (2) must be able to exit the pulling machine unhindered.

Never pull hooks against the housing.

In situations where the work cannot easily be seen: Observations by assistants, if necessary with radio

contact.

The holding function of the lowering brake (22) must be checked during the first lifting operation.

Before starting work, check the correct direction of rotation for lifting and lowering.

Observe the rope during the movement.

Observe the movement of the load.

Risk of slipping with low load!

When pulling make sure that neither the housing nor the rope are deflected or tilted by objects or obsta-

cles.

When pulling diagonally upwards the rope pulling machine can tilt. Place wood underneath, or avoid diag-

onal pull with rope roller.

Wear ear defenders when working with the petrol motor!
