3.3.12 EXE-Rise Chain Hoist Controllers More EXE-Rise Chain hoists shall be operated by controllers designed and specified for this purpose. We advise to use the EXE-DRIVE range controllers for proper use of your EXE-Rise chain hoist. The use of other brands, in alternative to EXE-DRIVE controllers is not recommended unless they comply with the applicable directives and standards.
Removal of these guards and safety devices should only be allowed during maintenance by competent and authorised persons and in controlled conditions. Chain guide plate EXE Rise chain hoists are fitted with a special plastic chain guide plate that provides various safety functions. Prevents accidental contact with the internal moving parts.
3.4.2 Secondary Safety Component A secondary safety component is a second independent suspension element of equivalent capacity to the primary suspension point, which is intended to prevent the fall of the load should the primary point fail. Some application examples are illustrated here below. When operating a system according to the German DGUV V54 standard, or if maintenance is required on a hoist that is still suspended, a secondary safety device should be used.
Figure 23: Example of a secondary safety component attached below the hoist, bypassing the hoist lifting mechanism (front view) Figure 24: Example of a secondary safety component attached below the hoist, bypassing the hoist lifting mechanism (perspective view) Never use a chain clutch to connect the hoists lifting chain to a safety device. A lateral load to the lifting chain can easily lead to failure.

6. INSPECTIONS For a correct and safe use of EXE-Rise chain hoist it’s important to carry out appropriate inspections and control. RWM recommended to comply with the frequency of inspections and follow the check reported in this chapter. INITIAL AND EACH ASSEMBLY INSPECTION AND CONTROLS The purpose of the following test and inspection is to ensure the hoist has been correctly assembled, installed, is not damaged and is safe to use.
FREQUENT AND PERIODICAL INSPECTION Here the term inspection refers to the visual examination of the hoist and its accessories. In order to keep a continuous and satisfactory operation inspection intervals must be determined by the individual application and are based on the type of service to which the hoist will be subjected and the degree of exposure to wear, deterioration or malfunction of the critical components.
TYPE OF SERVICE ITEM Severe a) All items listed in Table 8 for frequent inspections. Normal Heavy b) External evidence of loose screws, bolts, nuts. c) External evidence of worn, corroded, cracked or distorted hook block, suspension screw, bearings and dead end block and chain pin. d) External evidence of damage to hook retaining nut and pin.
Particular attention should be paid to the condition of all bolts and safety components. If defects are discovered the hoist must be taken out of service and repaired immediately. TIP! To detect surface damage and deformations on the external surfaces of the links, use a piece of cotton fabric and pull the chain through.
The clutch settings of the EXE RISE hoist are set at 120% of the nominal load to meet the German standards for the use of hoists above people. Due to the nature of the clutches and the above conditions, these settings can vary easily by +/- 10%...
EXTRAORDINARY INSPECTION In case of extraordinary events which can jeopardise the safety of the working equipment, extraordinary testing must be carried out. In particular, extraordinary events include accidents, modifications to the hoist, prolonged downtime periods and natural phenomena. Testing must be carried out only by authorised personnel, duly authorised for the purpose. In addition to the above inspection and testing procedure, a preventive maintenance program should be established to prolong the useful life of the hoist and maintain its reliability and continued safe use.
7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Visual inspection and testing of the hoist and lubricating the chain are the only interventions that should be undertaken by the user of the hoist. All other maintenance, replacement, adjustment interventions that involve the opening of the hoist housing should only be carried out by RWM authorised service engineers.
links are those links which stop on, resp. immediately at the inlet of the drive and reversing wheels at constant stroke when switching from lifting to lowering. These chain links are charged especially heavy by dynamic vibrations and have therefore to be lubricated carefully in shorter intervals. The choice of a suitable lubricant is dependent from the operating place and the existent environment conditions.
CLUTCH AND GREAR BOX MAINTENANCE / ADJUSTMENT Any intervention on the clutch is prohibited. Only RWM authorised service engineers are allowed to carry out maintenance work on clutches. Do not use any kind of fluid or spray which causes a lubrication effect on the clutch friction disk. For cleaning use a resolving agent suitable for the application.
