1. 2. 5 Maintenance, lnspection and Alterations WARNING •Never alter the hoist or its accessaries. • Always use genuine parts for replacement. • Always shut off the air supply before carrying out maintenance, inspection or repair. • Always employ specialists or weil trained persons for maintenance, inspection and repair.
4. Installation 4. 1 Installation WARNING Always check the supporting member from which the hoist is suspended is strong enough to support the weight of the hoist plus the weight of the rated Ioad, etc. The customer has the responsibility for this. CAUTION Only operate the hoist when it is hanging.
• Use an air hose whose inside diameter is at least 9.5 mm (318 in.). • Before connecting the air hose or pipe to the hoist, be sure to flush or blow out with air to prevent the invasion of foreign matter (dust, etc.) into the air motor. •...
5. 3 Check of the Lifting Height WARNING The preventive device against reverse winding (overlowering Iimit switch) and the buffer spring are for emergency only. Never use them for usual operations. lf the buffer spring is frequently used, the wire rope will be damaged and the suspended Ioad may drop, causing serious danger.
6. Checks before Operation- At the beginning of each shift WARNING • Always execute the following checks at the beginning of each shift. • lf a malfunction occurs during the operation of the hoist, stop operation immediately and take the necessary steps to rectify the problem. Never operate the hoist if damaged or malfunctioning.
7. Periodic lnspections WARNING • Always put up an instruction sign ( "EQUIPMENT BEING INSPECTED", "DO NOT RUN", etc.) on the push button switches before carrying out inspections. • Periodically, inspect the hoist thoroughly and replace any worn or damaged parts. •...
8. Maintenance and lnspection WARNING • Never alter the hoist or its accessaries. • Always remove the Ioad from the hoist before maintenance, inspection or repair. Exception is a inspection of brake, etc. • Always put up an instruction sign ( "EQUIPMENT BEING INSPECTED", "DO NOT OPEN THE VALVE", etc.) before carrying out maintenance, inspection or repair.

(5) lnspection of Casing • Are there any flaws, cracks, or deformation Carefully check the part where the top hook is attached. • Are the bolts loose (6) lnspection of Switch and Valve • Are there any flaws, deformation or wear on the 0-rings •...
(8) lnspection of Reduction Gear Unit • Are there any shavings, burrs, marks, or deformation on the keyway or the brake wheel engaging portion of the shaft • ls any part deformed or cracked • Are the bearings damaged or worn Tooth thickness Those which do not rotate smoothly (feels rugged when manually rotated)
8. 4 Troubleshooting WARNING lf a malfunction occurs during the operation of the hoist, stop operation immediately and take the necessary steps to rectify the problem. Never operate the hoist if damaged or malfunctioning. This is a serious hazard and could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION Careless repairs can cause darnage to the hoist or personal injury.
9. Brake Adjustment (See Fig. 2.) CAUTION Always shut off the air supply before carrying out brake adjustment. The brake has been adjusted before shipping. But the braking force will decrease because of wear on Setscrew the lining during operation. Therefore, the brake should be inspected and readjusted.
EHW-60R and EHW-120R. The step -6) and the rest are the same. • For EHW-60 and EHW-120 -1) Loosen Setscrew (92), and remove Steel ball (91) and Washer (90). lf Washer (90) does not move, it is unnecessary to remove.
-5) Disassemble Valve body part (78). Remove Handle (83}. Remove Spacers (82}, then remove Spools (80) and Springs (79). For EHW-60, EHW-120, EHW-60R and EHW-120R -6) Place the hoist so that Casing (1} faces downward and End plate (69) faces upward.

Reassemble the hoist in reverse order of disassembly and pay attention to the following points : -1) Always replace Conical spring washer (12} and Retaining ring (54) with new ones. -2) Assembling direction for Rataining ring (See Fig. 4.) Set up Retaining ring so that the non-chamfered face bears the Ioad. The non-ehamtered face bears the Ioad.

-6) Drum unit (overlowering detecting portion) For detecting overlowering, the wire rope anchoring position is very important. Always pay attention to it when reassembling the hoist. Rotate Index wheel (9) and set it as show in Fig. 6. (At this point, the preventive device against reverse winding will work.) Wire rope (39) Valve body (14) Index wheel (9)

EHW-120: (110), for EHW-60R and EHW-120R: (105)]. After installing Mini Y-packings, apply grease a little to Mini Y-packings. (See Fig. Mini Y-packing For EHW-60 and EHW-120:(110) For EHW-60R and EHW-120R:(105) Apply grease to the outer surfaces. Pay attention to the Valve corn (72) mounting direction.

-13) Checks after reassembly After completing reassembly, hang the hoist using a crane, etc. and connect the temporary piping. Keep the air pressure no less than l4kgf/crrf, 60psif. When connecting the temporary piping, the air comes out continuously from the air exhaust hole. lf the air does not come out, stop operation immediately and check the overlowering detecting portion in the drum unit.
