1 - General warning

This machine is governed by European regulations and, more specifically, machinery directive
2006/42/EC and the NF EN 13157 standard.

 Before using this winch, the user must read this instruction manual and comply with all the instructions

in order to ensure the safe and efficient use of the equipment.

 This instruction manual must be available to all operators. The manufacturer will provide additional

copies on request.

 MANISTOR® winches are used for lifting operations.

Please ensure that the operator has read this manual and is qualified to operate the machine in the
conditions provided for in this manual. This will ensure the safety of both people and the environment.

 Never use this winch with a load which exceeds the maximum load indicated (see p. 4 § 2.4).
 This machine is used to lift loads. Under no circumstances should it be used to hold a load with the

rope taut, in particular if the load is likely to increase as this could cause the rope or winch to break
(barges, circus tents, etc.).

 This machine may not, under any circumstances, be used to lift people.
 This machine may not, under any circumstances, be used above people unless the load is secured by

some other means.

 Before use, the operator must always check that the machine, rope, hook, markings and fastenings are

in good working order.

 The manufacturer shall not accept any liability for consequences resulting from the use or installation

of equipment not provided for in the present instructions; or for the consequences of removal,
modification or replacement of original parts or components with parts or components from other
sources without the written agreement of HUCHEZ.

 It is strictly forbidden to motorise these machines.

The rope diameter indicated above corresponds to the load on the last layer.

Important: it is obligatory to check that the rope resistance coefficient complies with the lifted load (coefficient 5).

2.4. Maximum loads depending on the layer of rope used

Since the rope winding layers are not visible to the user, it is forbidden to lift a load greater than the
nominal load indicated on the manufacturer's label, regardless of the cutting stroke.

However, these winches can be supplied with a different nominal load for more specific applications. In
this case, the installer must ensure that the rope length (and above all the number of useful layers for the
winch) complies with the following conditions:

All rights reserved

- Lifting a load: turn to the right

- Lowering a load: turn to the left

After use, it is not obligatory to remove the handle; however this is highly recommended if the winch is in
a public place or a public path.

Automatic brake activation

A load of at least 10 kg is required for the brake to activate automatically.

3 – Handling – Storage

Manistor winches do not require handling equipment (less than 5 kg with the rope).
It is advisable to store the equipment in weatherproof conditions.

4 – Use, assembly and set up

The following precautions should be respected.

4.1. Fastenings

The person responsible for the installation must ensure that the structure holding the winch is strong
enough to withstand the stress. The material used for the structure must be able to withstand the
maximum pulling and shearing forces in the screws (see table below). The winch must be positioned on a
flat surface.

Fastening screws:

Manistor® 200

All these screws must have a minimum class of 6.8 to guarantee a high enough safety factor (> 4).
