Before each use, check that the winch works correctly (rolling-up/unrolling/hold the load when the handle is released), the condition of the visible
parts (no deformation, no corrosion)... In case of deformation or if you have a doubt, the winch must not be used any more.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: put the system out of use if it comes into contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels which could affect its workings.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Galvanized steel wire rope 4.8 mm, other metallic parts in anti-corrosion treated steel.
Use between: -30°C / +50°C
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The device is for use with a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted
on the user during the arrest of a fall is no greater than 6kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body gripping device that may be used. It can be
dangerous to create one's own fall protection system in which each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is important
to read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
INSPECTION:
The recommended service life of the equipment is 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by KRA-
TOS SAFETY), but it may be increased or reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual inspections. The equipment should be inspected
if there is any doubt, or following a fall and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person authorised by the manufacturer to check its
strength and hence the user's safety.
If the WINCH is used for load lifting, the checks are carried out every 6 months.
The product data sheet should be completed (in writing) after each verification. The date of inspection and date of the next inspection must be indicat-
ed on the data sheet. It is also recommended to put the date of the next inspection on the product.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE: (These instructions must be strictly observed)
During transportation, keep the equipment away from any cutting edges and keep it in its packaging. Clean with water, wipe with a cloth and hang in
a ventilated room to dry naturally, ensuring that it is away from any direct light or source of heat; the same applies for elements that may have become
wet during use. The system must be stored in its packaging in a dry, well aired place protected from extremes of temperature.
