  • Page 5 1.2.3. SWINGING OF THE HOIST IN NORMAL CONDITIONS • The body of the hoist is designed to hang right under the hook or trolley and swings towards the load as the load sheave spins. DON’T PREVENT THIS NATURAL SWINGING. (Figure 2) Figure 2 1.2.4.

(Fig.3) Engage them as specified below, corresponding to the voltage of power supply.
  • Page 7 1.3.2. VOLTAGE OF POWER SUPPLY • The voltage of the power supply should be within plus or minus 10% of rated voltage. 1.3.3. SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE THICK ENOUGH • Too large a resistance (in Q) of the cable (or other power supply system) used between the power supply and the hoist will cause the voltage to drop.
  • Page 8 KINKED OR TWISTED LOAD CHAIN Kinked load chain should not pass through the chain hoist body. With multi-fall All the welded points of every other links face the same direction models (2~5t rated load models) the load chain sometimes gets twisted by the lower hook turning a somersault between hanging chains.
  • Page 9 1.4.2. USE THE CORRECT SIZE BUCKET • If the chain bucket is too small compared with the length of the load chain, the load chain will dangerously overflow from the bucket.

SAFE AND SURE SLINGINGS Note: The load capacity of the sling should always be rated higher than the load being lifted. Always ensure the sling is not improperly hooked as shown in Fig.12~14.
  • Page 11 3.1.3. SWITCH SPRINGS • Ensure switch springs are not damaged or missing NOTE: operation without either one of the springs is dangerous and is prohibited 3.1.4. LOAD CHAIN • Check the load chain for proper lubrication • Check the load chain for any damage, wear, or twisting 3.1.5.
  • Page 12 • When assembling 564a and 564b, the same sequence must be followed during reassembly or the brake will not function properly. • Where 2 linings are in use, the notch of one lining must be in the opposite direction to that of the other. 3.2.2.
  • Page 13 3.2.3. HOOKS ASSEMBLIES UPPER AND LOWER HOOKS HOOK MOUTH • If the hook has stretched it must be replaced since it has lost the required strength and shock absorbing capability. • Replacement must be made when the dimension A shown in Fig.21 has exceeded the limit shown in the table below. •...
  • Page 14 IDLE SHEAVE ROTATION & DEFORMATION (Not applicable to 0.5 Ton model) The idle sheave must be cleaned and checked if there is foreign matter on it. The following three points must be checked: • Abnormalities on the sheave bearings or axis of rotation •...
  • Page 20 WARNING: To Avoid Injury 1. DO read ANSI B30.16 safety standard for overhead hoists and hoist manufacturer’s Operating and Maintenance Instructions. 2.
