2.3 General Safe Operation Requirements
Read and observe the instructions and warnings contained in this manual. Read and observe any instructions
and warning tags attached to the hoist.
Check for any damage to the hoist during shipment. If any damage has occurred, place a claim with the carrier.
DO NOT install a damaged hoist.
Locate any vent plugs attached to or included with the hoist and trolley. Remove solid shipping plug or plugs
and replace with a vent plug.
Check wire rope for damage and spooling on drum. Be sure rope is properly seated in drum grooves and
sheaves. Make sure both of rope ends are tightly secured.
After each rope replacement as well as after repair and reassembling of the electric hoist check the phasing and
the limit switch adjustment for upper and lower position of the loading hook.
Be certain that Power supply to hoist and trolley has the same voltage, frequency, and phase that are specified
on the hoist and trolley nameplate.
At reaching the maximum permissible axial stroke of the electric motor rotor, readjust the brake.
While carrying maintenance and repair activities for electric repairs/maintenance, make sure that there is no load
on the hook; the power supply switch is turned off and unauthorized switching on is eliminated.
Check the loading hook for cracks and deformations as well as the good working order of the fuse for self-
release of the load.
Check the bearing screw joints to avoid them eventually self-unwind.
Check the reliable connection of cable protective conductors to the grounding terminals in the electric board as
well as the transformer and the electric.
If hoist has a trolley, check that the crane bridge beam or monorail beam is level, straight, and clean. Check that
trolley stops are installed, or install trolley stops, at the open end or ends of the beam to prevent the trolley from
traveling off the beam. Trolley stops that engage trolley wheels are not recommended. Check that trolley stops
will prevent overhanging parts of the hoist and trolley from interfering with other equipment beyond the ends of
the beam or monorail.
In all cases of disassembly of the push button cover the outer surfaces of the metal screws which fasten its
housing with electrical insulating material.
Daily, before starting work, check the operation of the brake and the limit switch.
Do not use the limit switch as an operational one in any case.
Before installing, removing, inspecting, or performing any maintenance on a hoist, the main switch
shall be de-energized. Lock and tag the main switch in the de-energized position in accordance
with ANSI Z244.1.
Follow other maintenance procedures outlined in this manual and applicable ASME B30 volumes.
Additional WARNINGS are listed in various portions of this manual. Personnel shall read and follow
these WARNINGS. Failure to read and comply with these WARNINGS as well as other instructions
or any limitations noted in this manual and applicable ASME B30 volumes could result in serious
bodily injury or death, and/or property damage.
