Program 0300 Wind Restraining Damping Device

Product Information: Wind Restraining Damping Device Program
0300

The Wind Restraining Damping Device is a program 0300 product
that connects the towing rope to the cable package, preventing the
towing rope from being carried out sideways by strong lateral
forces such as wind. It is compatible with steel rope 8/10 and
requires the following tools for installation:

Socket wrench SW4 – A wrench with a long arm is favorable
because of the high torque needed. Standard short wrench sockets
are not suitable. A longer version is needed.
Wrench SW13
Loctite 243

Product Usage Instructions:

Mount the device when the festoon system is retracted. To
prevent it from falling down, fix the device to the lower cable
clamp with the two shackles and secure them with Loctite 243.
Attach the wind restraining damping device in the middle (based
on the height) between the two cable clamps to the towing rope.
Insert the towing rope into the groove using a socket wrench
SW4.
To reach the required clamping force, follow the process
mentioned below:
1. Find the reference point for tightening of the set screws:
  1. Check if the clamp can be moved by hand in the direction of the
    towing rope.

If it is movable, go to step 1.2
If it is not movable, go to step 1.3

The set screws have to be tightened slightly. Go back to step
1.1.

Check if the clamp can be turned by hand around the axis of the
towing rope.

If it is rotatable, go to step 2
If it is not rotatable, go to step 1.4

The set screws have to be untightened slightly. Start again
with step 1.1.

3 Sequency of assembly works
The following steps insure that the wind restraining damping device is mounted at the right place, tightly and without damaging the towing rope.
Mount the device when the festoon system is retracted. To prevent it from falling down the device has to be fixed to the lower cable clamp with the two shackles. Secure the
shackles with Loctite 243. Afterwards the wind restraining damping device is attached in the middle (based on the height) between the two cable
clamps to the towing rope. Therefore the towing rope is inserted into the groove:

After that the towing rope is clamped slightly by the set screws. To reach the set screws the plastic housing can be turned on the clamp by roughly 45°:
SW4

To reach the required clamping force the following process has to be followed (see flow chart on the next page).

The two set screws have to be at the same depth at any time ( ).

1 Find the reference point for tightening of the set screws:

1.1 Check if the clamp can be moved by hand in the direction of the towing rope.

If it is movable

go to step 1.2

If it is not movable

go to step 1.3

1.2 The set screws have to be tightened slightly.

Go back to step 1.1

1.3 Check if the clamp can be turned by hand around the axis of the towing rope.

If it is rotatable

go to step 2

If it is not rotatable

go to step 1.4

1.4 The set screws have to be untightened slightly.

Start again with step 1.1

2 Tighten the set screws by 2 ½ turns.
