1.1. Safety instructions

The SOLSIT, motorised seat for inspection and

maintenance, has been specically designed for man-

riding applications. The compact design of the SOLSIT

makes it extremely quick and simple to rig. The SOLSIT

is suitable for many light jobs and is tted with a TIRAK™

X-300P series hoist and a TIRAK™ wire rope which

passes through the machine.The working height is limited

only by the length of the wire rope supplied. In accordance

with current safety regulations, a secondary safety wire

rope is tted in conjunction with a BLOCSTOP™ BSO,

automatic secondary device. In the standard version the

SOLSIT is supplied with 2 cleaning buckets, and 2 wall

rollers to prevent damage to the facade and twisting of

the unit.

– The equipment enables operators to carry out work

which requires complete safety. Consequently, it is

important to ensure that this equipment is only handed

over for use to an operator who is competent and

correctly trained to operate it in a safe and responsible

manner.

– Particularly check the suspension anchor points of

theSOLSIT. Ensure that the anchor points can accept

at least 1.3 times the capacity of the hoist.

– Check that the lifting and safety wire ropes as well as

the electric supply cable are sufficient for the job. The

length of the wire ropes is marked on the ferrule of the

hook or eye.

– Ensure that the diameter of the wire ropes is correct for

the TIRAK™ hoist and BLOCSTOP™ safety device.

Check the labels on the machines.

– When rst put into operation and after every service-

repair on the electrics, check the correct rotation of the

TIRAK™ motor in relation to the controls. If necessary,

call for an electrician to reverse the phase (3-phase

motor) (see Fig. 6).

– Never operate the SOLSIT during high winds or storms.

These instructions should be read in conjunction with the

TIRAK™ X-300P operating and maintenance manual,

with should be considered as an integral.

3.5. Fitting the lifting and safety wire ropes

Only TIRAK™ wire rope in perfect condition can ensure

the correct operation of the SOLSIT. Ensure that the

diameter corresponds to that indicated on the appropriate

labels on the TIRAK™ hoist and the BLOCSTOP™ BSO.

Before tting thewire ropes ensure that

the suspension point is appropriate to

take the full load of the SOLSIT and

its operator (see chapter 1.1).

1. Unreel the wire ropes at ground level and lift them to

the top of the building using a cord.

Never unreel or throw a wire rope from

the top of the building.

2. Anchor the lifting and safety wire ropes to separate

suspension points (Fig. 4).

3. Fit an upper limit stop plate to the safety wire rope

(Fig. 4).

3.5.1. Feeding-in the lifting wire rope

1. Connect the power supply cable to theTIRAK™ hoist.

2. Pass the lifting wire rope around the two return pulleys

on the TIRAK™ hoist side (Fig. 5).

3. Insert the wire rope through the rope guide and into

the TIRAK™ hoist.

4. Press the “UP” button. The wire rope should feed

automatically*and exit at the other side of the machine.

5. Continue to operate the “UP” button of the TIRAK™

until the lifting wire rope is slightly tensioned.

3.5.2. Feeding-in the safety wire rope

1. Check that the safety wire rope is not twisted around

the lifting wire rope.

2. Pass the safety wire rope around the two return pul-

leys on the BLOCSTOP™ side (Fig. 5).

3. Put the lever (a) of the BLOCSTOP™ safety device

into the “OPEN” position (Fig. 7).

4. Insert the wire rope into the BLOCSTOP™ and pass

it slowly through the mechanism by hand until it is

slightly tensioned.

5. Using a“frog”wire rope gripper, attach a counterweight

(approx. 9.5 kg) to the safety wire rope at about

20cmfrom the ground.

6. Carefully reel any excess wire rope back onto the reeler.

* N.B.: 3-PHASE MOTORS

If the wire rope does not feed automatically, reverse direction of

rotation of the motor by using a screw-driver to turn the phase

reverser in the CEE plug of the hoist (Fig. 6).

• Check that the suspension wire ropes are properly

secured.

• Check that the TIRAK™ hoist and the BLOCSTOP™

BSO are properly secured.

3.6.2. Checking the operation of the

BLOCSTOP™ BSO

Operation (Fig. 7)

The BLOCSTOP™ engages in the following cases:

A downward “overspeed”,

B rupture of lifting wire rope or failure of gear motor.

In normal operation, the lever (7.1) of the BLOCSTOP™

must be in the “OPEN” position.

Risk of injury by serious fall due

to slack safety wire rope between

suspension and BLOCSTOP™.

If the BLOCSTOP™ is closed during

upward movement, the safety wire

rope will no longer be tensioned

and the BLOCSTOP™ will become

ineffective.

Measures to be taken immediately following

an incident

Case B: If the BLOCSTOP™ engaged following rupture

of the lifting wire rope or failure of the hoist:

Evacuate the operator(s).

Secure the SOLSIT by appropriate

means in order to allow replacement

of the wire rope or hoist.

Case A: If you have ascertained that the lifting wire rope

is not broken and the hoist has not failed (Fig. 7.1):

1. Bring up the SOLSIT (43) to relieve the load on the

safety wire rope.

2. Place the lever (7.1) in the “OPEN” position.

3. Carefully lower the SOLSIT to the ground.

4. Before continuing work, check operation of the BLOC-

STOP™ as instructed in the following pages.

3.7. Manual descent (Fig. 8)

In case of a power failure, it is possible to lower the

SOLSIT through the centrifugal brake of the TIRAK™

hoist.

1. Fit the brake lever (1) on the brake yoke by inserting

it through the slot (2) on the cover.

2. Without using excessive force, raise the control lever

to release the electromagnetic brake. The SOLSIT

will descent under its own weight and the speed of

descent is controlled by the centrifugal brake.

3. To stop or brake, release the control lever (1).

3.8. Traversing

Stop the SOLSIT at about 40 cm from the ground.

2. Remove the counterweight from the safety wire rope.

Slowly pull some wire rope through the BLOCSTOP™.

3. Lower the SOLSIT to the ground and continue to

operate the “DOWN” button to have some slack on

the lifting wire rope.

4. Reposition the suspension point.

5. Reposition the SOLSIT below the suspension point.

Operate the “UP” button to lift the SOLSIT about

40cm

above the ground.Carefully retension the safety

wire rope by hand and ret the counterweight (Fig.5)

4. SAFETY DEVICES

4.1. Emergency stop

Should there be any danger whatsoever, lifting or lowering

of the SOLSIT can be stopped immediately by pressing

the red EMERGENCY STOP button (Fig. 9).

Before every putting into service of the SOLSIT, check

the correct working of the EMERGENCY STOP.

4.2. BLOCSTOP™ BSO safety device

The safety wire rope passes through an overspeed

BLOCSTOP™, model BSO 500, which operates

automatically and which acts as a secondary brake, as

required by the safety regulations of certain countries.

The centrifugal mechanism of the BLOCSTOP™ BSO

permanently checks the speed at which the wire rope

passes through the unit. It automatically locks the jaws

onto the wire rope should the speed become excessive.

The BLOCSTOP™ BSO also operates instantly and

automatically in a no load situation, e.g. in the event of

the lifting wire rope breaking.

Under normal working conditions of the SOLSIT, the lever

(a) of the BLOCSTOP™ BSO should be in the “OPEN”

position (Fig. 10).

4.3. Upper limit safety device (Fig. 11)

When the upper limit switch, xed to the top of the SOLSIT

mast, hits the stop plate tted to the safety wire rope, the

SOLSIT stops automatically, and cuts off all the electrical

controls of the SOLSIT.

To release the upper limit switch, either lower the SOLSIT

slightly through the centrifugal brake of the TIRAK™ hoist

(see 3.7) or raise the stop plate slightly. In the letter case,

do not forget to reposition the stop plate.

Regularly check the operation of the upper limit switch:

manually press the spring-loaded lever of the upper limit

switch and at the same time press the “UP” button. The

SOLSIT should not lift. If it does, or in case of doubt, call

for an electrician to check the mechanism.

4.4. Overload safety device (Fig. 12)

The overload safety device (13) is activated when the

SOLSIT is overloaded. In this case, the UP movement is

stopped and the indicator lamp (a) on the SOLSIT control

box indicates the overload (Fig. 3). To continue working,

decrease the load in the SOLSIT. The adjustment of the

overload safety device is lead sealed in the factory. For

the setting and control, call the After Sales Service.
