condition. Only use suitable lifting tackles for fastening the load.
Inspect the cable for any kinks, knots, breakage or any other
damage. If the cable is kinked or damaged, or if the hook latch (7)
is missing resp. if the cable is shaking under load, then do not use
the hand winch any further, and have it inspected and repaired by
a qualified technician.

While the cable is under load do not stand directly behind or over
the hand winch but stand sidewise, in an angle of 90° to the hand
winch. If the cable breaks under load, it can swing back severely.
Do not stay in the danger area and ensure that others are not
endangered.

During operation, keep your hands away from the load bearing
cable and other parts of the hand winch.

Turn the crank only by hand; do not attach motors of any kind.

Under load at least three windings of cable must remain on the
drum. Otherwise the cable will be torn for the anchorage when it is
entirely unrolled. Do not unroll the cable beyond the red marking.

If you pull heavy loads, hang a blanket or a jacket on the cable in
a distance of about 1 – 2 m away from the hook in order to
significantly reduce the risks caused by a breaking cable.

Make sure the cable is wound properly on the drum, one winding
next to the other winding, without any knots or loops. After winding
the cable on the drum, make sure the borders of the drum extend
at least 1.5 of the cable diameter over the highest layer of the
cable on the drum.

Make sure all warning signs are clearly legible at all times.

Service the hand winch carefully. Check that movable parts
function correctly and do not jam, and whether any parts are
broken or damaged in such a way that the function of the hand
winch is impaired. Have any damaged part repaired before using
the hand winch.

The service life of the hand winch and some parts are limited,
worn out parts must be replaced in a timely manner.

Only allow qualified technicians to repair the hand winch using
only original replacement parts. Once a year, have the hand winch
checked by a qualified service technician.
