Manual Override is the emergency procedure used to safely release load in critical situations, such as when the battery is completely depleted or if the remote-controlled release mechanism is malfunctioning.
DO NOT use the manual override if load is suspended!
evo2 Manual override:
The evo2 model features a small opening at the back, where a thin screwdriver can be carefully inserted to lift the lock pin and manually release the hook. This allows the hook to move freely, provided that no battery is connected. See video
evo5/evo10/evo20/evo25 Manual override:
For the evo5, evo10, evo20, and evo25 models, the load can be manually released as with a standard hook, opening the latch.
For hooks with rigid safety latch, the hook can be operated freely by hand. If the motor brake is enabled, you will have to apply high torque, and the hook will move slowly. If the brake is disabled, you'll move it easier. To disable the motor brake using eMini, eMax or eLink, refer to the article on how to modify the hook parameters.
neo20/neo20s/neo50-60/neo100 Manual override:
All Neo models are equipped with a manual override system that allows the hook to be opened manually. Please refer to the manual for instructions on how to operate the manual override. See video1, video2.
S40 Manual Manual override:
In the event of a low or empty battery, the pin movement can be manually overridden. To do this, simply insert a 5 mm Allen wrench into the designated hole and turn it in the direction you want the pin to move. Do not apply force when reaching the end of stroke, as you can damage the mechanism.
C5-C6 eTRACK Models:
Due to their operating design, the C5-C6 and eTRACK models do not require a manual override.
The hook can be released simply by decoupling it from the load once no pressure is applied.
Dropper 10 Model
Due to its design and the need to release the load in a controlled manner, the Dropper 10 cannot be released without a connected battery.
For safety reasons, manual release is not possible.
