1General description
The HIT-TRAC motor-driven rope pulling machine is designed to pull, lift and lower loads.
The traction element used is a special HABEGGER HIT-TRAC rope of any length, which is steered around the drive wheel via a
series of guide elements, and then exits once more in the unloaded condition.

2General safety rules
The HABEGGER motor-driven rope pulling machine HIT-TRAC confirms to the current state of the art. To
protect against accidents, it is equipped with effective safety devices according to the recognized tech-
nical safety standards, guidelines and laws.
However: Laws, regulations and safety devices do not offer protection against carelessness and negli-
gence!
Only use the motor-driven rope pulling machine in perfect condition, complying with the operation man-
ual.
Before you work with the motor-driven rope pulling machine, you must carefully read and comply with
the safety information below.
This is for your safety!
2.1 Safety information in this operation manual
For hazards, notes and important information, the following symbols and descriptions are used:
-Notices are particularly important information which you must comply with when operating the equip-
ment for its intended use.
-Caution! Note indicates hazard for the machine, machine parts and the environment.
-Danger! Note referring to hazards to health and the life of the operator and other persons in the working
area of the motor-driven rope pulling machine.
-
-Warning of hot surfaces.
-Wear ear defenders
2.2 Intended use
The HIT-TRAC motor-driven rope pulling machine is designed to pull, lift and lower loads.
-The HIT-TRAC must not be used to transport persons.

2.3 Authorized operators
The motor-driven rope pulling machine must only be used by a specialist person who is authorized. As the operating com-
pany for the motor-driven rope pulling machine, make sure that the operation manual is made accessible to the operator and
ensure that they have read and understood it.
2.4 Warranty and liability provisions
The liability and warranty provisions of the general T&C of Jakob Rope Systems apply. Especially T&C points 10 and 11.
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
2.6.1 Hot surfaces
During operation the components of the device warm up to differing degrees.
-CAUTION! Skin burns!
-If touched, hot surfaces can cause skin burns.
-After shutting down operation, wait until the components in the working area have cooled down suffi-
ciently so that their surfaces can be touched safely. Some surfaces can be hotter than others!
-If required wear protective gloves/protective clothing.

2.7 Preparation
2.7.1 Location
-Personnel must not be located on a structure hanging on the HIT-TRAC.
-When working always make sure you have a firm and safe location to stand in.
-Always stand outside the hazard area of the load to be moved, and never in the way of the exiting rope.
-You need sufficient room to move. Therefore make sure you have a sufficiently large area to stand in.
-Do not use ladders as a standing area.
-If your location is unsuitable: Install deflection roller and select 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)
-During operation, ensure that the machine is not standing directly in water (or snow).
-
Following contact with water, you should have your HIT-TRAC checked by Jakob AG so that the brakes can be dried and
greased. If the brakes are wet, the load can either not be lowered or can only be lowered jerkily.
2.7.2 Anchoring
-Attach the machine with sufficiently strong strops or slings to the anchor bolts.
-Do not use damaged strops or lifting slings.
-In the unloaded condition, rope couplings and fixings must not come undone of their own accord.
-The machine must be able to adjust freely in the pulling direction of the rope. Otherwise there is a risk of
the housing breaking!
-When remaining in the same location for longer periods: Regularly check attachments!
2.7.3 Load
-The pulling force must not be greater than the rated pulling force of the machine.
-Secure free hanging loads against turning!
-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.
-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 exter-
nal 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.
-The efficiency of deflection devices must be considered when designing the system.
