5-1 Acceptance of the material

Visually inspect the packaging to ensure that it is intact.
If not, notify it as required.
Check that the hoist corresponds to your order.
For transport reasons the chain bucket is delivered disassembled.

5-2 Installation

The service life of the hoist depends on the way it is installed.
The instructions in this manual must be followed carefully for the installation, use and maintenance of the hoist.
Any use contrary to our instructions can be dangerous. In this case, the manufacturer will not accept any
responsibility.
Do not use the hoist until this manual has been fully read and assimilated.
Always keep this manual near the hoist, available to the operator and the person in charge of maintenance.
Make sure that the safety rules are followed (harness, clearance of work areas, posting up of instructions to be followed in
the area...).
Carry out:
•
The electrical connection (refer to 9-4: Electrical connection).
•
Fitting of the chain bucket (refer to 8.1: Chain bucket).
•
Check that the suspension hook is correctly positioned, depending on whether for 1 or 2 falls.
•
Check that the tightening torques of the hook blocks, locking plates and chain guide conform to the torques indicated in this
manual (refer to 10.5: Screw tightening torques).
•
Check that the chain is not twisted.
•
Check that the slack fall stop is correctly attached in the chain bucket and that the fixed point and the 2-fall chain are
correctly held.
•
Check that the rubber buffer is correctly fitted.
•
Measure the dimension of the opening of the suspension hooks and the hook block. Note it for a follow-up.
Once these checks have been completed, proceed as follows (be ready to press the emergency stop button at all
times).
•
Oil and start to run in the chain by a few movements without load.
•
Check, when not under load, that the movement of the hook corresponds to the
direction of the arrows on the control box. If not, invert 2 supply phases.
•
Check the operation of the limiter: operate the hoist, without a load, until it
reaches the upper and lower hook positions and let the limiter slip for a
maximum of 3 seconds. The chain should not move and the motor should
continue to run.
•
Check the operation of the brake: lift up a nominal load and then
lower it.
•
Check the operation and the adjustment of the limit switch.
Carry out dynamic tests with +10% of the nominal load and static tests
with +50% of the nominal load on your installation equipped with our
hoist.
IMPORTANT !
The slack fall stop is a safety componet , not a functional one.
A correct lenght of chain is required to avoid using it .
