Setting up the controller

WARNING! UNCONTROLLED MOVEMENT HAZARD
Releasing the emergency stop button and driving the hoist when it is unsafe could
cause serious injury or death.
Never release the emergency stop button and drive the product until you are sure that it
is safe to do so.
To enable the use of the controller, do the following steps:
1. Make sure that the main isolation switch is in the position ON.
The hoist becomes operational only (energized) after connection between the product and
controller has been established.
2. If applicable, use the key switch to turn on the controller.
3. To prepare the controller for operation, release the emergency stop button.
To release the emergency stop button, turn it clockwise. If the emergency stop button is a
push-pull type button, release it by lifting the button up to the raised position.
4. Energize the product by pressing the start push button (if equipped).
The controller is ready for the operational checks.

Load handling methods

Evaluating the load
To prevent overloading, determine the weight of the load before lifting. Lift the load only when
you are sure that it weighs no more than the maximum permitted load of the product and its
accessories.

Check the condition of the rubber plate on top of the hook. The rubber plate activates
the mechanical or magnetic upper and lower limit switches on the chain hoist. If the
rubber plate is damaged or not in place, the limit switches do not operate correctly.
Check the correct operation of the limit switches by raising and lowering the hook at
low speed. When you raise and lower the hook, drive the chain from one end to the
other.
First check the operation of the limit switch. For instructions, see chapter Testing the
hoist without load.
After checking the operation of the limit switch, adjust the upper and lower limits. For
instructions, see chapter Adjusting the rotating geared limit switch. If the limit switches
cannot be adjusted, the rotating geared limit switch must be replaced.
