LOWERING/LOOSENING LOAD
Move selector switch to the unload position. Again operate lever in an up and down
motion until the load has safely reached the ground.
LOCKED BRAKE
If the hoist which is under load is suddenly relieved of the load i.e. by taking load off
bottom hook or by pulling a load down walls etc. The brake will also lock if the bottom
hook is pulled tightly against the hoist frame.
To unlock the brake, turn the Selector lever to the unload position and pull on the lever
sharply.
5 - MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
To maintain continuous and satisfactory operation, a regular inspection procedure must
be initiated so that worn or damaged parts can be replaced before they become unsafe.
The intervals of inspection must be determined by the individual application and are
based upon the type of service to which the hoist is subjected. To test the brake a test
load with capacity the same as the hoist should be used.
The hoist should be visually inspected by the operator / competent person daily or
before each use.
To check for worn parts the hoist may need to be disassembled this should only be
carried out by a qualified repairer and not by the operator.
Annual inspection and re-certifying of the hoist should be carried out in accordance to
European Safety Regulations – therefore the hoist must be returned to a recognized and
competent lifting equipment repair centre.
