1General description
The HIT hoist devices are for pulling, lifting, lowering and securing loads.
A special original Habegger rope (identifiable by the blue strand and interior marking tape) of any length can be used as lift-
ing tackle.
These ropes are suitable for all lifting, pulling, lowering and securing work.
The required rope diameter can be found on the type plate, the casing and the pressing clamping jaw on the rope.
The drive is actuated manually using a manual lever. The level pipe is attached to the corresponding lever on the hoist device
and secured against slipping by turning it.
Role:
The wire rope of any length is guided straight through the HIT hoist device and gripped by two pairs of clamping jaws. The
clamping jaw force on the clamping jaws increases proportionately to the tensile force of the rope.
By manually moving one of the drive levers back and forth, the rope is pushed backward or forward in the longitudinal direc-
tion of the device without slipping or jerking, depending on the selection of the gear lever. While the rope is moving, one pair
of clamping jaws is always open while the other (closed) pair moves the rope in the desired direction.
Under a static load, both pairs of clamping jaws automatically close. The load is distributed to both clamping jaws.
Transporting persons
Is only permitted if the following prerequisites have been fulfilled:
- Use of a HABEGGER HIT-06, HIT-10, HIT-16, or HIT-32 with reduced load-bearing capability
- Use of a safety gear on an additional safety line (in accordance with EN 1808)
- The system for transporting persons (pull-up work platform or similar) complies with the applicable safety regulations.
- The hydraulic drive for the HABBEGER HIT-16 and HIT-32 may not be used to transport persons.
The HABEGGER HIT hoist device is then a component of the system; the manufacturer is responsible for construction in com-
pliance with regulations and the operator is responsible for the safe operation, based on the operating instructions for the
system.

Betriebs- & Wartungsanleitung
TS. 02.06.2020 Technik Seite 9 von 26
©Copyright by Habegger Maschinenfabrik AG Version 04 / 02.06.2020
-The use of third party spare parts, if these are not designed and manufactured according to the loading or
safety requirements.
-We recommend that you only use HABEGGER spare parts.
-use of a lever pipe not intended for use with the manual rope hoist type
We fully refuse to pay any damages or assume liability for damages resulting from the use of unsuitable ropes or ropes not
approved by us.
2.5 Behavior in an emergency situation
Before starting work, always inform yourself whether and where there is a mobile phone network or where a traditional tele-
phone is available. Check the availability of a first-aid box.
2.6 Product specific hazards
-The rope can get hot during lowering
2.7 Preparation
2.7.1 Location
-When working, always make sure the device is on solid ground and the area is secured.
-You need enough room to move. Make sure you have enough space to stand.
-Never stand on ladders.
-If the location is unsuitable, use a deflector and choose a better location.
-When installing the machine take care that no external hazards can act on the rope pulling machine, the
traction rope, the load and the operator personnel. (e.g. falling objects, passing vehicles, electrical over-
head lines, and so on)
2.7.2 Anchoring
-Fixate the device to the anchoring bolts with sufficiently strong straps or slings.
-Do not use damaged wire rope straps or textile anchoring loops.
-Rope coupling and safety catches must not be able to autonomously release when the rope is loose.
-The machine must be able to adjust freely in the pulling direction of the rope. Otherwise there is a risk
of the housing breaking!
-Never support the hoist device on the rope guiding sleeve or the casing.
-When using the device at the same place for a longer period: Check the anchors regularly!
-The anchor point must withstand the expected tensile force (check in advance, if needed).
2.7.3 Load
-The efficiency of deflection devices must be considered when designing the system.
-The pulling force must not be greater than the rated pulling force of the machine.
-The inherent stability of the load must be guaranteed, to prevent sliding off or tipping during the work.
-Pay attention to obstacles, which could cause the load to tip or become stuck.

Betriebs- & Wartungsanleitung
TS. 02.06.2020 Technik Seite 10 von 26
©Copyright by Habegger Maschinenfabrik AG Version 04 / 02.06.2020
-Uncontrolled loading (e.g. buckets, containers) during the lift or at interim positions is prohibited.
-When tensioning and anchoring, take into account possible stress spikes (in static condition) due to ex-
ternal influences.
-Excessive impacts and loading on the pulling machine (e.g. anchoring of moving machinery, wind and so
on) must be prevented by the use of a strain relief rope.
2.7.4 Traction rope
The pull rope properties are decisive with respect to the reliability of the clamping jaw system. Rope structure and inherent
strength (transverse compressive strength, impact resistance) must resist the loads which occur.
-Only suitable original HABEGGER ropes (identifiable by the blue strand and interior marking tape) must
be used.
-The pulling rope must not be lubricated, and must be kept clean.
-The rope diameter must match that on the type plate.
-Damage of the rope: crushed, unwound, non-circular, kinked ropes or ropes with strand breaks or tan-
gles must not be used. (ISO 4309) Otherwise, the rope may bunch up (bird-caging) in the hoist device.
Then the load cannot be raised nor lowered.
-Ropes with broken wires: remove broken wires carefully and correctly.
-Rope connections, sleeves, compression heads, short splices and so on must not run through the drive
system.
-When deflecting the rope over sharp edges, obstacles and so on protect the rope using suitable floor
rollers or supports made of wood or plastic.
-For lengths greater than 20 m the loose rope end (10) must be rolled up properly (rollers, reels). Rope
twists, tangles, kinks etc. must be avoided!
-Welding work on the draw hook or rope are prohibited. When performing welding work on electrical
equipment at another location, make sure the welding current is never conducted via the pull rope or
device.
-Replace or repair hooks if the safety catch is missing.
-The traction rope itself may not be used to attach a load
2.7.5 Inserting rope
-Wear gloves when using hoist devices and wire ropes
2.8 Working
2.8.1 General
-Operating levers can only be activated by hand or using the attached hydraulic drive.
-When working make sure that neither the housing nor the rope are deflected or tilted by objects or ob-
stacles.
-Do not stand in the hazard zone of loads, deflectors, hoists and ropes!
-Working under suspended, unsecured loads is prohibited
-Secure suspended loads against rotating

Betriebs- & Wartungsanleitung
TS. 02.06.2020 Technik Seite 11 von 26
©Copyright by Habegger Maschinenfabrik AG Version 04 / 02.06.2020
-Either the forward or the reverse gear level may be actuated, but never both levers simultaneously.
2.8.2 Pulling and lifting
-If the forward gear level is actuated with too much force, the shearing pin will break and prevent the
hoist device from being overloaded (see Chapter 5). The load will still be securely held.
-Observe the rope during the movement.
-Observe the movement of the load.
-Only use original Habegger brass shearing pins.
Stronger shearing pins can result in the hoist device overloading and breaking.
-Always suspend the load in the center of the hook. The tip of the hook must not bear the load.
-Refrain from uncontrolled loading (e.g. buckets, containers) during the working stroke or in resting posi-
tions or: monitor the rope tensile strength using a gage.
-When using guy ropes, safety lines, guiding ropes and anchor ropes, check the tensile force (if neces-
sary, continuously) using a suitable gage.
-Take care of voltage peaks (in a static state) from external influences (wind, snow, ice).
-Do not let the load fall on a slack rope.
-In situations where the work cannot easily be seen: Observations by assistants, if necessary with radio
contact.
-Never pull the load hook against the casing.
-The loose rope end (10) must be able to exit the pulling machine unhindered.
2.8.3 Lowering
-The loose rope end (10) must be able to run freely and without deformations and tangles into the ma-
chine
-Before the loose rope end (10) reaches the device (min. 0.5 remaining length): Stop the rope from pull-
ing out.
2.9 Decommissioning
-The pulling rope must be unloaded during decommissioning.
-Loads must be secured.
2.1 Storage and transport
-The device must be transported on pallets, secured against sliding and tilting.

4.1 Preparation
4.1.1 Transporting persons
The hoist has been approved for transporting persons in accordance with EN1808. The operator must also install a safety
gear or a second, redundant rope system.
Errors that result in the safety gear to activate:
If the hoist device is used with other components, the entire rope structure must comply with Standard EN1808.
4.1.2 Selecting device
-Estimate or measure the tensile force based on the
load to be moved, Image 1.
-Then, set the minimum size of the hoist device.
-Select the appropriate rope for the hoist device.
-If necessary, reduce the tensile force using rope pul-
leys, Image 2.
4.1.3 Anchoring
-Define the location and anchoring options for the
