3. General Guidelines
• This device should only be used with an alternating current of max. 230VAC / 50Hz.
• Select a location where the device is protected against frost and low temperatures.
• Do not stand under hoisted loads.
• Make sure the steel cable is correctly wound around the reel and the pitch is equal the cable diameter.
• Observe the maximum load indicated on the hoist, not that on the hook.
• Leave at least three turns of cable around the reel so that the cable connection is not under stress.
• To avoid danger, do not wind more than 15m of cable around the reel.
• Replace a worn-out cable with a cable with the same specifications.
• If the device cannot hoist a load, do not keep pressing the push button. It means the load exceeds the maximum capacity.
• Attention: The device’s electric motor is not supplied with any overload cut-out to avoid unexpected and unwanted
restart. Therefore, if you are unable to hoist a load, do not insist and let the motor cool down.
Be very careful during the installation: touching live wires can cause life-threatening electroshocks.
