1 - General warning
This machine is governed by European regulations and, more specifically, machinery directive
2006/42/EC and the European standard EN 13157.
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.
TIREX winches are designed to enable lifting and hauling 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. 5 § 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 these 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.
