CONDUCTIX wampfler 040871 Spring Retractorr

Operating area

Thanks to the spring retractor series 040871-..x2,5 all hand-guided tools can be kept ready for operation. These series make the handling of such tools easier. The load range of the spring retractor depends on its type. All the details are mentioned on the respective type label.

Safety Instructions

• Any modification of the spring retractor and its accessories may be carried out only with a written consent of the manufacturer.

•  Reading and following strictly the complete operating and safety instructions guaranties a safe operation.

• Only skilled labour and familiarized with the spring retractor may operate, install, maintain and put it into operation. This labour has to be pre-informed about the possible risks which may occur by using the retractor.

•  Standing under a pending load has to be avoided.

•  It is very dangerous and strictly forbidden to disassemble the spring barrel.

•  Uncouple the load only when the rope is completely retracted!

• The rope of the spring retractor has to be examined periodically (DIN 15020 Tl. 2).
  If damages are detected on the rope the retractor may not be further used.

• The suspension, the anti fall device and the safety chain have to be kept under surveillance permanently. If damages have been detected, replace the retractor immediately.

•  Keep in mind! The resile of an unloaded rope is very dangerous for the labour and destroys the spring.

•  The maximum capacity mentioned on the type label must not be exceeded.

• Only original spare parts are to be used for repair and maintenance works.

• The use of non original parts has a high potential of dangers regarding security and maintenance and may lead to performance variations.
  That’s why the use of non original parts annuls any kind of guaranty.

•  Reparations can only be accomplished by competent and authorized persons.

Installation / Initial Operation

Before beginning the installation, make sure that the equipment on which the spring retractor will be fastened is strong enough. Use the retractor according to the norms for retractors, tools and workplaces in order to obtain a perfect efficiency.
Determination of the total load:

• Tool, accessories and parts of the hoses and ropes to be supported by the spring: the value of the total load must be situated within the specified type values.
• In order to enable the retractor to achieve its best performance, hang it up within the middle of the extension area of the rope.
•  In order to enable the retractor to achieve its best performance, hang it up on A for charges up to 4 kg ,for higher charges on one working height hang it up within the middle of the extension area of the rope (11).
• Always fasten the safety suspension (S) of the retractor on an adequate rake by the means of the appropriated accessories (never use the same rake on which the hook (A) has been attached).
•  Max. permitted falling distance: 100 mm.
•  Make sure that the existing construction is strong enough.
• If attaching the accessory rope 21217, make sure that it will be correctly positioned: consider the max. allowed falling distance.
•  The clamp 21215 must clip both ends of the rope laying one on the other.
• After the first tightening, fasten the clamp with the recommended 2 Nm torque. Thus enable to the loosening between the rope and the clamp generated during the first clamping phase compensate (refer to the figure).
•  The retractor must be movable freely forwards the tractive force.
•  If screw fastening devices are applied for fixing the retractor on position (A) and / or position (S), self closing systems and / or split-pins have to be used.
•  Attach the load on the hook (15).
• Never lubricate the retractor with fire hazard or volatile liquids.
•  Never take off any labels. Replace any damaged label.

Adjustment of the load

• To increase the load: turn the axis (F) with the screw-wrench (D) counter clockwise .

•  To reduce the load: turn the spring (8) to the right.

•  As the spring tension (H) enables the drum rotation, the retractor is not functional with a lower load as the minimum load.

• A drum blockage can be caused by:

  •  a breaking of the spring (X), after having used it for a long time, In case of blocking during the installation, the reason is a too light bearing load calibration. In this case the bearing load has to be increased with the key D
    (Fig. a). Make sure that the spring retractor functions perfectly with the complete retracted rope.

•  If a drum blockage occurs, with a hanging load on the upper area, proceed as described above by increasing the load or readjusting the clamp (13) in order to limit the pullout upwards.
  If the problem persists, a spring retractor with a lower load has to be applied.

• Never retract completely the rope during the work.
  It may stop at least 100 mm before the end of the stroke .

 Use

When the retractor is installed with the bearing load, check if the working conditions are OK (smooth gliding). For a safe use the upper brackets A and S have to be checked regularly. Check regularly for security and for wear: all loaded parts (clipper, cable and bracket parts) and the support of the tool itself.

Maintenance

No maintenance is necessary to guaranty the lifetime of the retractor. If an intervention is necessary, in case of particularly intense operation, the spring/drum unit (5) inside the retractor has to be slackening before. The only one dangerous part is the spring. This spring is placed in the drum which is permanently greased. The spare part “spring/drum” (5) is a complete unit! Caution: NEVER take out the spring! Replacement of the rope:

•  take off the screw A, B, C and loosen the screw D (some mm);
•  lift the flange (E) and exchange the rope (11);
•  retighten the screws
•  Reinstall and adjust the load.

If the retractor can not be used anymore, it has to be disposed according to the valid standards (norms).
