Pneumatic chain hoist CPA ATEX
11 of 21
Geared trolley:
By operating the geared trolley hand chain.
Compressed air trolley:
By pressing the
- or
-button on the controller.
When moving the trolley consider the stopping distance. Do not use the
beam end stops as operational limit devices.
Attaching the load
Attach the load to the hoist using only approved and certifi ed slings or
lashing devices. Never use the load chain as sling chain. The load must
always be seated in the saddle of the hook. Never attach the load to
the tip of the hook. Do not remove the safety latch from the load hook.
Lifting/lowering the load
The load is lifted by pressing the
-button, it is lowered by pressing
the
-button. The chain end stop may not be used as an operational
limit switch (see Fig. 1).
Emergency stop
In the event of an emergency, all movement can be immediately halted
by depressing the red button.
Attention:
The unit is still full of residual air!
For release, pull the buttons out.
8. MAINTENANCE
• Service and inspections may only be carried out by a competent
person.
• The inspection must determine that all safety devices are present
and fully operational and covers the condition of the hoist, lifting gear,
accessories and supporting structure.
• The service intervals and inspections noted are for normal working
conditions. Adverse working conditions, e.g., heat or chemical environ-
ments, can dictate shorter periods.
• The CPA ATEX pneumatic chain hoist corresponds to the FEM Group
1Am or 1Bm in accordance with FEM 9.511. This results in a theoreti-
cal service lifetime of 800 or 400 operating hours under full load. This
is equivalent to 10 years under normal operating conditions. After this
period the hoist requires a general overhaul. More information can be
found in BGV D6 or FEM 9.755.
Attention:
Maintenance work requires subsequent function testing with
rated load capacity.
8.1 DAILY CHECKS
1. Visual check for mechanical damage to the pendant control
and the hoses and screw connections
2. Function check of the brakes
3. Function check of the overload lock
4. For pneumatic chain hoists with a trolley:
• Check that the trolley runway is free from obstructions
• Check that the end stops on the trolley runway are fi tted and secure.
