and the absence of the following faults:
• Cut wire;
• Bare thread;
• Wire incorrectly connected; and

12.3.6. Checking the proper functioning of the
caRol™ winch
In a safe environment with no risk of falling, proceed
according to the following instructions:
Install the caRol™ winch with its bracket on the mast
of a davitrac.
To check the correct operation of the lock, use a weight
weighing:
• 275 kg attached to the end of the cable for the
caRol™ R;
• 550 kg attached to the end of the cable for the
caRol™ TS and caRol™ MO.
Proceed to check the stopping of the weight following:
1. Lift the weight with the caRol™ winch;
2. Release the crank handle or button on the control
box;
3. The locking of the weight must be done immediately
without slipping;
4. Wait three minutes; and
5. Bring the weight back down.
NOTE: If the lock is not immediate, if it occurs
after several jolts or if the weight goes down before the
three-minute delay, the product must not be used and
must be returned to Tractel

12.3.6.1. Additional check for the caRol MO

The caRol™ MO is equipped with a limit switch system
that also needs to be tested on the davitrac. During the
lifting operation, the end of the cable must stop 50 cm
below the davitrac head when it is in position P1 at 700
m (according to the davitrac instructions)
NOTE: Non-compliance with the above check
does not necessarily mean the equipment is to be
decommissioned, but the device must not be used
until it has been repaired by Tractel or an authorised
