3 Maintenance - Settings
Maintenance operations must be performed
by personnel specially trained by the manufacturer
or its dealers.
3.1
Maintenance operations
MOTRIX hoists must be reviewed at least once a
year and every 100h. In harsh environments
(sandblasting, marine, back and forth operation at
full load, doubts about the proper use etc) a higher
frequency of verifications may be required.
Load lifting winches are intended for a limited
lifetime; beyond that, a return to factory is
imperative.
For the hoist MOTRIX
- type 527B 527N and527E, the ranking is
A3
- type 526J and 527D, the ranking is A1
In some countries, periodic audits and reviews of
commissioning are mandatory.
3.1.1 Preventive maintenance
These operations must be performed by a
competent person trained by FIXATOR or its
dealers. The FIX022 manual details these annual or
control operations.
Check:
Daily:
The quality of your anchors and of the 2 hooks
(latch).
The good clamping of the travel end stoppers on
your cable.
The good general condition.
Monthly or during an prolonged shutdown:
The proper functioning of the safety devices
(emergency stop, limit switches, brake).
The good condition of the wire rope (§3.1.3)
The overall proper functioning by performing a full
movement at the rated load.
Every year and every 100h :
Check the groove pulley.
Check the bearings, rudder, gear...
Check the motor brake.
Control each security (cf. §2.2.2) at the rated load.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Electrical winches MOTRIX types 526&527
Clean and grease the gears (e.g. BIMO EP or
Klubersynth AG14-61 or Klubersynth AG14-61 or
Kluberplex AG11-462 or Grafloscon C-SG 0 Ultra
or Total GEP 0)
After each maintenance operation, a load test must
be performed.
For your safety and to benefit from the full
guarantee of the manufacturer, use only original
FIXATOR parts (ask the complete list of spare
parts).
3.1.2 Releasing of the brake
The MOTRIX winches are equipped with a manual
motor brake release system which allows the load to
be lowered in case of power failure (except 527D).
Press the emergency lowering lever to lower at a
controlled speed :
3.1.3 Lubricating & controlling a hoist cable
The hoisting cable must be regularly greased or
lubricated with Teflon.
For this, use for example:
- IGOL SHP 50 grease or Total CERAN ST2
- A lubricant spray PRO-LUBE Teflon.
Never use products containing bisulphite or MoS2
(Molykote).
Only cables recommended by FIXATOR provide
safe hoist operation. The removal's criteria to
follow are those of the ISO4309.
The diameter should not be reduced by more than:
- 10% for wire rope Ø 8.3 mm: min 7.5mm
- 10% for wire rope Ø 9.5 mm: min 8.5mm
- 5% for wire rope Ø 10.3 mm : min 9.7mm
