Safety check
Before putting into service initially or when putting back into service, it must be checked whether:
All fastening screws (if existent), socket pins, flap socket and safety devices are tightened and secured.
The oil levels in the gear boxes are sufficient.
All movements of the load comply with the symbols on the control switch.
The chains are correctly placed, oiled and in good condition.

Functional test
11.1
Checks before the initial start-up
Lifting gear
Load chains must not be twisted.
Lubricate the load chain with gear oil or suitable chain lubricant before first loading.
Trolley drive
The open-lying teeth of the trolley drive must be lubricated.
Hand gear for hand geared trolley
Ensure correct fit of the hand chain, it must not be twisted and must hang freely.
11.2
Functional test
Lifting gear
Check lifting and lowering functions, initially without a load. The buttons of the control switch are marked with
the symbols for lifting and lowering. The movement direction of the load (lifting or lowering) must correspond
with the push buttons (lifting or lowering). This is the factory setting.
If the device lowers when the “lift” button is operated and lifts when the “lower” button is operated, the two
phases of the net connection must be swapped.
The function of the end switch is to be checked initially by operating the end switch by hand. Then carefully
move to the end position. If required, adjust end switch.
Then check the brake function under load. After releasing the buttons of the control switch, the load must be
securely held.
Trolleys
Carefully move the trolley to the end positions and check the positions of the end stops.
NOTICE!
The limit switch function will only work if the movement direction of the load (lifting - lowering) corresponds
to the push buttons of the control switch.
