• Fix the joint plate (4) to the guide frame upper half (3) with two M8x25 screws. The edge that has the
rounding should point towards the rope fixing clamps.
• Place the upper frame half (3) against the drum groove. The correct groove is the first empty groove
next to the rope.
• Place the plastic guide element (7) over the 50 mm diameter hoist intermediate shaft and fix it to the
guide frame upper half (3) with two M8x35 screws. The plastic part should be on the side of the rope
fixing clamps.
• Pass the rope through the joint plate (4) and place the lower frame half (2) against the drum groove.
The correct groove is the one from which the rope leaves the drum (A).
• With the rope passing through both the joint plate (4) and the lower frame half (2), fix the joint plate
and lower frame half together with two M8x25 screws.
• Pass the stainless steel rim (1) around the rope drum and into the groove that travels around the rope
drum from the upper frame half (3) to the lower frame half (2). Pass the ends of the rim through both
frame halves.
