P R O D U C T I N F O R M A T I O N INTENDED USE JDN Air Hoists are designed for lifting and lowering loads within the specified load-carrying capacities, with a vertically-arranged chain. JDN Air Hoists from the PROFI 25 TI to 50 TI ranges are also suitable for pulling loads horizontally.
P R O D U C T I N F O R M A T I O N EMISSIONS The brake will drag and is thus subject to a high degree of wear. An impermissibly high degree of heating may occur. N o i s e e m i s s i o n s The controls become noticeably less sensitive.
P R O D U C T I N F O R M A T I O N PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF JDN AIR VANE MOTORS The vane motor consists of a cylinder liner 1 with two side bearing plates and an internal rotor 2. The rotor 2 is mounted eccentrically in the cylinder liner 1 and is provided with slots 3 for installation of the vanes 4.

E-CONTROL CONNECTION Pushbutton valve (hand control) Guide the strain-relief rope through the eye on the pushbutton valve and secure it using the cable clamp.
I N I T I A L O P E R A T I O N CONNECTING TO THE MAIN AIR SUPPLY Check the air connection for contamination and clean if necessary. Blow through the compressed air hose in order to remove foreign bodies.

I N I T I A L O P E R A T I O N CHECKING PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION Ensure that the chain is running into the hoist properly before working with the JDN Air Hoist. Before each operation, check that the chain is not twisted and that the bottom block, if fitted, is not Hoists, including the supporting structure, must be inspected by an defective.
O P E R A T I O N OPERATION RULES FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF HOISTS As a hoist operator, you are responsible for your own safety and that of your colleagues in the working area of the hoist. Hoists may only be operated by persons charged with this task by their company.
Page 31
O P E R A T I O N Before attaching the load, accurately position it vertically JDN Air Hoists must not be used for the following applications, for example: below the hoist. The chain must hang vertically before lifting. Ensure that the hook safety catch is closed.
Page 32
O P E R A T I O N If, in the case of multi-chain hoists, the bottom block is lying on the floor, move it back to a hanging position in a controlled manner (evenly-loaded chains). Special safety precautions must be taken when loads are being hoisted into areas that are out of sight.
O P E R A T I O N CONTROLS E-CONTROL With E-control, lifting and lowering movements can be controlled JDN Air Hoists can be equipped with a variety of control devices. via two pushbuttons. They are all suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas. The direction of movement of the load hook is marked on the upper side of the valve housing, above the pushbuttons.
Page 34
O P E R A T I O N P U S H B U T T O N F - C O N T R O L With pushbutton F-control, lifting and lowering movements can be controlled via two pushbuttons. The direction of movement of the load hook is marked by arrows next to the pushbuttons.
O P E R A T I O N EMERGENCY STOP DEVICE These controls are always equipped with an EMERGENCY STOP device. In order to avert danger produced by the lifting movement as quickly as possible, release the pushbuttons - the movement of the load is then interrupted immediately.
O P E R A T I O N CHAIN In addition, rusty chains are subject to extreme wear. Protect the chain from corrosion. RUNNING-IN INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOIST CHAINS PRIOR TO OVERLOAD TESTING Ensure that the chain is in perfect condition before initial operation of the JDN Air Hoist.
O P E R A T I O N LOAD HOOK Check the hook opening “a” and the height “h” of the load hook of JDN Air Hoists that are in use at least once a year (see Check dimensions, page 58ff). Load hooks should not be loaded at the tip, be adjusted,...
O P E R A T I O N LIFTING THE LOAD ATTENTION! JDN Air Hoists must be capable of alignment under load. Otherwise impermissible additional forces can occur, which can damage the hoist components. First, lift the load hook to tighten the slack chain. With the chain tight, briefly interrupt the lifting procedure.
T A K I N G O U T O F O P E R A T I O N SHUTTING DOWN DISPOSAL If the hoist is to be taken out of operation for a longer period of time, JDN Hoists contain a range of materials which, on expiry of the it must be protected against corrosion and dirt.
M A I N T E N A N C E MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND REPAIRS MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INTERVALS Series lifting equipment is classified into groups and dimensioned according to the type of operation (Driving mechanism classification JDN Air Hoists are extremely robust and require little maintenance. according to ISO/FEM).
Page 41
M A I N T E N A N C E Only if the group classification corresponds to the actual mode of operation of the lifting equipment, does a safe operating period conform to the theoretical operating time. Deviations of the actual mode of operation from that used for calculation extend or shorten the safe operating period.

M A I N T E N A N C E The specified inspection intervals are valid for use in accordance with the classification (see driving mechanism classification on the nameplate). The service life is approx. 10 years if the device is used in accordance with its classification. If the hoist is used more intensively the intervals are to be shortened accordingly.

M A I N T E N A N C E REMOVING AND INSTALLING CLAMP AND BUFFER Removal (see illustrations, page 52-54) In the case of operation with chain box, run the chain out of the chain box and detach it from the hoist. Note: In the case of hoists with chain box, the end chain link of the idle chain is not attached to the hoist body.
M A I N T E N A N C E REMOVING AND INSTALLING CHAIN If the first link of the new chain is not correctly positioned, it ATTENTION! must be removed. The chain supplied together with this JDN hoist is matched to the chain sprocket according to strict Note: It is possible that the first chain link of the other chain end is tolerances.
