SAFETY GUIDELINE
- Situate the tower on a solid and flat surface.
- Check that the legs are fully inserted and secured in to their housing with the safety locks.
- Ensure that the lifter is in a vertical position and use the spirit level located on the base profile to check. If necessary, adjust its alignment with the plates by turning the handle in the appropriate direction.
- Check that the tower is locked in its working position with the safety lock.
- When used outdoors, place the tower on a hard surface and if necessary secure it against excess wind force via cable braces.
- Do not use ladders nor lean them against the lifter.
- Be careful with any cables, prominent objects etc. placed above the tower.
- Do not stand underneath the load.
- Do not move the tower when it is elevated or loaded.
- Before using the tower, check the condition of the cable. This must be free of cuts and frays. Never use damaged cables.
- Never dismount the winch handle or any element of the winch under any circum-stance.
- Once the tower is set-up in its working position we recommended the winch han-dle is locked to avoid anyone interfering with it.
- The minimum load for a safe operation of the brake is 25 kg. The brake will not function without this minimum load.
- Do not grease or lubricate the brake mechanism of the winch.
- This lift cannot lift human beings.
- For transportation it is necessary to retract all profiles and lock them with the corresponding safety lock.
OPERATION.
- Place the tower on a flat and solid surface where it is going to be used.
- Remove the legs from their transport supports and insert them in their working po-sition. Check that they are fully inserted and fixed with their safety lock.
- Ensure that the lifter is in a vertical position and use the spirit level located on the base profile to check the bubble is centred. If necessary, adjust its alignment with the stabilizer plates by turning the handle in the appropriate direction.
- Change the forks to their horizontal working position and fix them with the fastener pins, place the load on the forks using a Kuzar Accessory if necessary, and ensure that the tower is only used to lift loads vertically. The minimum load is 25 kg.
NEVER RAISE THE TOWER SECTIONS WITHOUT LOAD.
Elevation BLOCK position
-
Change the nº1 KAT lock to the LIFT position.
-
Turn the handle clockwise to raise the lifting carriage of the tower.
-
When you have reached the desired height,fix the nº1 KAT lock in by turning the handle anti- clockwise. Change the nº1 KAT lock to the BLOCK position.
-
Change the nº2 KAT lock to the LIFT position.
-
Turn the handle clockwise to rise the next section of the tower. 4.5.7 – When you have reached the desired height, fix the nº2 KAT lock in by turning the handle anti-clockwise.
Check that the nº2 KAT lock has introduced in to its corresponding hole. And change the nº2 KAT lock to the BLOCK position. -
Repeat these steps to raise all the sections of the tower, changing all Kthe AT locks left orderly to the LIFT position and turning the handle clockwise.
WARNING: The tower can be left in any intermediate height if necessary.
Just make sure that the KAT locks are always fixed and introduced. In the
unlikely event of cable breaking the KAT locks will ensure that the tower
stays UP and SECURE.
Your security is our main concern.
IMPORTANT – HOW TO PLACE THE LOAD ON THE LIFTER
Always load as close to the tower as possible.
Follow the instruction of the next picture to place the load correctly, the
diagram shows the load out of the gravity center, with distances to the
lifting carriage at a maximum lifting. Notice that the maximum load diminishes
according to the distance from the body of the tower.
Descent:
4.6.1 – To fold the tower down, first, turn the handle of the winch clockwise
to tighten the steel cable.
4.6.2 – Once the cable is tense, pull out the nº5 KAT lock, mantain it always
in LIFT position but keep it out.
4.6.3 – While you keep the KAT lock out, turn the handle anti-clockwise to
bring down the corresponding section of the tower.
4.6.4 – Once the section has been brought down, release the nº5 KAT lock, and
pull out the nº4 KAT lock.
4.6.5 – While you keep the next KAT lock out, turn the handle anti-clockwise
to bring down the next section.
4.6.6 – Keep repeating these steps, pulling out all the KAT locks left in
order while you turn the handle anti-clockwise.
4.6.7 – Once the tower has been folded down, place all the KAT locks in the
BLOCK position.
Transport
Turn the handle of the stabilizers to release tension on the legs in order to
pull them out. Then, place the legs in their transport compartments located at
the base of the tower. Pull out the forks and place them in vertical position.
The tower will be ready for transport.
MAINTENANCE.
-
All cables must be checked regularly. Faulty cables must be replaced immediately. Do not use the lifter with faulty cables as it is potentially very dangerous. Only use DIN 3060 cables, supplied from an authorized dealer.
