1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
All users of the Traction Apparatus are required to read this manual before assembling and
using the same. As such, it should be read in depth to ensure strict compliance with all the
safety standards.
The manufacturer reserves the right to effect modifications as a means of improving the
Traction Apparatus, reason for which the equipment may differ slightly to the specifications set
forth in this manual. Moreover, ALBA-MACREL GROUP S.L. undertakes to update the manual
immediately upon each improvement.
ALBA-MACREL GROUP S.L. will not be held liable for any damage arising from:
Failure to follow the instructions contained in this manual.
Using the machinery in an incorrect manner.
The use of non-original spare parts specified in the corresponding section in this
manual.
Modifications made to the machinery without the express authorisation of the
manufacturer.
Handling by personnel who have not been trained for the purpose.
The use of the Traction Apparatus should only be entrusted to trained personnel and the
handling of all components should be conducted by specialised technical personnel with
knowledge of the same.
This manual should always be kept within the reach of users for immediate consultation. We
recommend taking a copy of the manual and leaving it alongside the apparatus as a means of
ensuring it is kept in perfect condition.
The sketches and images illustrated in this manual are for the purposes of guidance and will
be updated as new designs are produced.
ALBA-MACREL GROUP S.L. hopes this Traction Apparatus performs to your complete
satisfaction.

1.2 General Information
This Apparatus is specifically designed to handle load son vertical, horizontal and inclined
planes as illustrated in the sketches in Fig. 1-1.
The weights capable of being handled are specified in the table in section 1.6.
In the event of the need to handle greater weights, different pulley systems can be used.
The lifting device is a portable apparatus equipped with a pass-through cable which is drawn
in a straight line by clamps. The stress is transferred to the Manoeuvre Levers (up or down)
through a removable lever (Drive Lever).
It features a safety system whereby the Apparatus cannot be unlocked in order to remove the
Cable when it is loaded. It also features a device which prevents the scaffold from being raised
when it exceeds 2.5 times the work load limit.
Fig. 1-1 - General information
WARNING:
The calculation of the pulleys required to handle the loads should
be conducted by specialised personnel.
WARNING:
Even when using pulleys which ensure the handling of greate
r
weights, care should always be taken not to exceed the cable
breaking load. See the breaking load in section 1.6.

2 INSTALLATION
Apart from the dimensions of the Traction Apparatus, the following conditions need to be
complied with:
The environment must be well lit in order to guarantee the safe use and
maintenance of the Traction Apparatus.
The work area should be of the appropriate dimensions in accordance with the
work to be executed.
The permitted operating temperature is from – 5 ºC to + 40 ºC.
The permitted relative humidity is from 30% to 90% (at 20 ºC).
The area should be protected against atmospheric agents.
2.1 Commissioning
Step Nº 1
The Cable is unrolled as illustrated in Fig. 2-1, pulling out the coupling and rolling the reel to
prevent the formation of kinks and twists.
Fig. 2-1 - Cable-coupling-wheel unit
WARNING:
If the Cable is left on the floor without rolling it in, kinks and twists
will appear which cannot be corrected and which will damage the
Cable over time.
8A-16A-32A INSTALLATION Page 9 of 28
Step Nº 2
When the apparatus has been fastened and the lever is in the reverse position, make a
parallel movement and hook the alignment pin into the unlocking claw. You can use your foot
to help you do this.
Fig. 2-2 - Hooking the alignment pin into the unlocking claw.
Step Nº 3
Place the cable into the opening indicated by the arrow without forcing it until it comes out
through A. In the event of difficulty, pull the cable out around 3 cm and push it through again
while turning it at the same time.
Fig. 2-3 - Introducing the cable
WARNING:
Do not leave the apparatus unlocked for any length of time.
