Operation
When using the winch, the load is raised or lowered depending on the direction in which the handle
is turned. When the handle is released, the brake comes on and holds the load in place.
Automatic brake activation
A load of at least 10 kg for the Carol™ EX 150 or 15 kg for the Carol™ EX 300 is required for the
brake to activate automatically.
Handling – Storage
3.
This light machine can be carried and needs no fixing means.
It is advisable to store the equipment in weatherproof conditions.
4.
Use, assembly and set up
The following precautions should be respected.
4.1.
Fastenings
See figure 3.
Fixing with four Ø 10 mm screws
Use at least type 8.8 screws.
4.2.
Rope
Make sure the rope used is right for the application.
By default, the winch is prepared for work with Ø 4 mm rope (Carol™ EX 150) or 5 mm (Carol™ EX
300).
Reminder: the safety coefficient of steel rope must be 5 in lifting and 3 in hauling.
4.3.
Rope assembly
See figure 4
The winding direction of the rope must be strictly observed. To lift the load, turn the handle clockwise:
a clicking sound is heard. To lower the load, turn the handle anti-clockwise.
See figure 5
Rope assembly:
1)
Pass the rope through the drum until it protrudes at the rear of the winch.
2)
Pass the rope through the first hole of the rope clamp.
3)
Pass the rope through the second hole of the rope clamp until 2 cm of rope protrudes and
tighten the screw (using a BTR no. 3 spanner).
4)
Pull on the rope to tighten it against the clamp.
5)
Fit the rope clamp back inside the drum.
4.4.
Disengaging
See figure 6
•
Never disengage when the winch is loaded. In the event of mishandling, a device blocks the
disengaging lever when a load is applied to the winch.
•
The winch is also provided with a security device that prevents the rope from being wound in
the wrong direction. In such a case, the winch disengages automatically.
5.
Servicing and maintenance
The delivered winches are ready to be used (after installing the rope if not supplied by the
manufacturer).
A maintenance check is required at least once a year and must be carried out by a skilled person
or body:
