OM-ED3ZZZ-CEE-01 Original Instruction OWNER’S (OPERATOR’S) MANUAL AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITO MANUAL CHAIN HOIST EDIII SERIES ALWAYS SAVE THIS BOOK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Danger exists when heavy loads are transported, particularly when the equipment is not being used properly or is poorly maintained. Because accidents and serious injury could result, special safety precautions apply to the operation, maintenance and inspection of the KITO electric chain hoist EDIII series. WARNING use a hoist for lifting, supporting or transporting people.
WLL equal to or more than the load to be lifted whenever you ALWAYS must use two hoists to lift a load. use KITO original load chains marked “KITO”. KIRO shall not be responsible for any claims ALWAYS or damages arising from the use of other chains.
ALWAYS oil the load chain. ALWAYS have KITO or an authorized dealer adjust the friction clutch. ALWAYS splice, add and weld a load chain for extension. NEVER touch live electrical parts.
Sound power level (dB) 94 (A scale) Remarks: (1) Contact KITO or authorized KITO dealer for information on using the hoist outside the working temperature or humidity range. (2) Noise level were measured at a distance of 1m horizontally from the hoist during normal operation.
Safety and life for electric chain hoists are guaranteed only when the said equipment is operated in accordance with the prescribed grade. KITO electric chain hoists EDIII series have been designed for grade 1Am in the FEM regulations (FEM 9.511).

Built-in bearing assures easy swiveling of bottom hook. In addition, the hook latch adds another safety. (3) Friction clutch This hoist equips with friction clutch mechanism, specially developed by KITO, that causes the motor to idle when over loaded, thus preventing the load from being lifted. Also, the motor turns idly at the lift and lower limits to prevent overwinding.
5. PREPARATION AND CHEKING BEFORE USE 5.1 Packed contents Before using, make sure the following contents are packed: Hoist unit (containing oil) Chain container (including bolt, nut, and split pin for attaching to hoist unit) available as option. Push button and cord (the dual speed cylinder type is equipped with a curled cord and fastening belt.) Load chain Owner’s (Operator’s) manual and safety instructions.
0.27 0.35 Drain plug Use of oils other than the specified Kito’s gear oil might not allow full exertion of the built-in friction clutch, which can cause load to drop. To avoid these hazards: use the specified Kito’s oil ALWAYS To avoid oil leak, make sure to firmly fasten drain plug.
Assembly procedure: Attach the chain container to the chain guide ① with socket bolt ② and U-nut ③. Attach the split pin ④ to prevent the U-nut ③ from dropping. Bend pin ends 90° or more. (3) Assembling push button cord and curled cord a.
・After the chain lubrication is done, lift and lower without any load to spread the lubricant thoroughly. Please consult with KITO Corporation if any of Load-applying direction lubricants are not allowed at your site.
5.4 Installing trolley (1) MINI trolley Attachment of adjusting spacers Remove the top hook of the electric chain hoist and fit together adjusting spacers to the trolley with the top yoke. 34 adjusting spacers (3.2mm thickness) and 2 Adjusting Spacer-Bs (1mm) are accompanied. With 32 of Adjusting Spacer as shown in the following table, fix the trolley frames’...
(2) Installing trolley to rail WARNING For all trolley suspended electric chain hoists, rail stops must be installed at each end of the rail. Failure to install rail stops will allow the hoist and trolley to fall off the end of the rail and thus cause an accident that could result in injury and/or property damage.
6. OPERATION As soon as pre-usage preparation and checks have been completed, the hoist will be ready for operation. WARNING In shifting operation between lifting up and lowering down under the loaded condition, ensure to avoid the immediate reverse operation before the hoist motor completely stops. If not avoided, it could result in the hoist’s damage.
DANGER touch live portions of cables, terminals, and terminal screws during adjustment so as not to incur NEVER electric shock. make sure to turn power off before servicing. ALWAYS Open the back lid of the push button switch (as depicted in the next illustration). Turn the volume clockwise to increase speed or counterclockwise to lower it.
WARNING make sure the hook cam is completely locked. ALWAYS dropping or releasing a load could result in death or serious injury. NEVER To avoid this hazard, do not operate the bottom hook release mechanism (hook cam) when the hoist with cylinder-controlled or optional detachable hook is under load. 6.4 Electric chain hoist with trolley To operate the electric chain hoist with trolley, move it horizontally by either pushing the lifted load or the load chain.
7.2 Occasionally used hoist (1) A hoist which has been idle for a period one month or more but less than one year shall be given an inspection conforming to the requirements of section 7.4 before it is placed in service. (2) A hoist which has been idle for a period of one year shall be given an inspection conforming to the requirements of section 7.4 before it is placed in service.

To change oil, ALWAYS remove both the oil plug and drain plug to drain contaminated oil completely before supplying the specified Kito’s new gear oil. Use of oils other than the specified Kito’s gear oil might not allow full exertion of the friction clutch, which can cause load to drop.
WARNING disassemble and adjust the mechanical brake with friction clutch. NEVER contact your local KITO dealer in case of malfunction of mechanical brake with friction clutch. ALWAYS 9.
