1General specifications
The motor-driven rope pulling machine HIT-TRAC 8 is designed for pulling, hoisting and lowering loads.
1.1 Drive mechanism
A special HABEGGER steel rope of desired length, which is guided over the relevant guide elements by the driving wheel and
then ejected in an unloaded state, is used as the drive mechanism.
1.2 Housing cover
The removable cover on the driving wheel prevents the entry of foreign objects and protects against accidents resulting from
improper access. There is also an anti-derailment device for the traction rope integrated into the housing cover.
-Always close and lock the housing cover over the driving system before operation.
1.3 Rope
In the factory, the machine is preconfigured to use ropes with diameters of 8.2 mm.
This rope is suitable for all hoisting, pulling and lowering work.
-Only suitable, original HABEGGER ropes should be used.
1.4 Operation
The machine operates on an alternating current of 230 volts using a transformer and a three-phase rotary current motor
1.5 Electrical control system
On / off control system
The control system is located, alongside the transformer, in the control box on the motor.
The input comes from the mains plug via a 5m long supply cable.
Also connected to the control box, via a 3m long control cable, is a pendant station with the control buttons UP/DOWN, the
emergency stop button, and a rotating knob to control the speed.

1.6 Limit switch
Hook observation
The limit switch stops the hoisting movement when the hook is pulled against the housing or when the rope shaft is swivelled
forwards (insert rope).
-The limit switch only responds when the motor is rotating in the correct direction (the rotary field of the
power connection).
1.7 Lowering and breaking
You can place the load precisely in the desired position using the control buttons UP/DOWN.
Breaking during lowering takes place using the motor without an energetic recovery system in the mains. When stationary or
powered off, this takes place using the spring-loaded holding brake. As this energy is converted into heat, the output due to
heat in the control box is limited during lowering.
-Heavier loads may only be lowered over short distances.

3Safety instructions
The HABEGGER motor-driven rope pulling machine HIT-TRAC 8 complies with current technical standards.
To protect against accidents, it is equipped with effective safety devices as required by the recognised
safety standards, guidelines and laws.
But laws, regulations and safety devices do not provide any protection against carelessness and negli-
gence!
Use the motor-driven rope pulling machine only when it is in perfect condition and when taking the user
guide into consideration.
Before working with the motor-driven rope pulling machine you should carefully read and take note of
the following safety instructions.
It is all about your safety!
3.1 Proper use
The motor-driven rope pulling machine HIT-TRAC 8 is designed for pulling, hoisting and lowering loads.
The maximum tensile force is: 8 kN (800 kg)
-The HIT-TRAC is not to be used to transport people under any circumstances.
It is forbidden to carry people in a hanging HIT-TRAC structure.
-Please note the safety instructions on the machine and in this user guide in the interests of your health!
3.2 Safety instructions in this user guide
The following symbols and specifications are used for hazards, instructions and important information:
-Instructions are very important information which must be complied with in order to properly operate the
specified technology.
-Caution! Information regarding danger to the machine,
machine parts and the environment.
-Danger! Information regarding danger to the heath and life of the operator and other persons in the mo-
tor-driven rope pulling machine’s operating area.

3.3 General safety instructions
Location
-Always ensure that the device is in a fixed and secure location during operation.
-Always stand outside the danger zone of the load to be moved and never within range of the exiting rope.
-Use a motorised winch for longer ropes (longer than approx. 50m).
-You require enough space in which to move. You should therefore ensure that you have a large enough plat-
form.
-Do not use a ladder as a platform.
-If you do not have a suitable platform, deploy pulleys and choose a better location.
-When setting up the machine please ensure that no external hazards can exert influence on the rope pull-
ing machine, the traction rope, the load or the operating personnel during operation (e.g. falling objects,
passing vehicles, overhead power lines, etc.).
Anchorage
The anchorage point must be able to withstand the expected tensile force (possibly test beforehand).
The best anchorage points are:
-fixed objects and structures
-rings which have been cemented in place
-eyelets or poles
Natural anchorage points:
-strong/heavy boulders
-trees
-other suitable objects
Technical anchorage points:
-Habegger field anchor with piles
-rock bolt, concrete anchor
-round timber anchor in the ground
-these anchors are highly dependent on soil conditions.
Secure the machine to the anchoring bolts with sufficiently strong straps or loops.
-The machine must be able to freely position itself in the rope’s pulling direction. Danger of housing break-
ing!
Do not use any damaged ropes or connecting loops.
Rope couplings and safety devices should not be able to detach themselves in the event of a rope being loose.
-If the machine is being used in one location for an extended period of time, check the anchors regularly!
