Inspection of the load hook and top hook (if fitted)
The load hook and - if fitted - the top hook must be checked for cracks, deformations, damage,
wear and corrosion marks. The safety latch must move freely and be fully functioning.
Inspection of chain reeving in the bottom block
All units with two or more chain falls must be inspected before initial operation to ensure that
the load chain is not twisted or kinked. The chains of hoists with two or more falls may become
twisted if the bottom block is rolled over, for example.
When replacing the chain, make sure that the chain is reeved correctly. The chain weld must
face outwards.
Only fit load chains which have been approved by the manufacturer. Non-compliance with this
specification will render the legal warranty or guarantee void with immediate effect.
Inspection of the hand chain length
Adjust the length of the hand chain so that the distance of the lower end to the floor is between
500 – 1000 mm.
Function check
Before start-up, check that the chain drive is working in the unloaded condition.
O
PERATION
Installation, service, operation
Operators delegated to install, service or independently operate the hoist must have had
suitable training and be competent. Operators are to be specifically nominated by the
company and must be familiar with all relevant safety regulations of the country of use.
Lifting the load
Pulling the hand chain in clockwise direction will raise the load.
In order to avoid spark formation, neither the hand chain nor the load chain (nor the chain for
operating the optional locking device) should be able to hit the ground or against any other
object.
ATTENTION: If this is not possible, consult the manufacturer!
