ELECTRIC WIRE ROPE HOIST
XM SERIES
4.5.4 NON-PERMISSIBLE LOADS
Load whose mass and accessories - if any -
included, exceed the capacity of the machine.
Dangerous classified loads for their chemical-
physical features (e.g. flammable materials,
explosives, etc.).
4.5.5 LIFTING ACCESSORIES
Generally admitted accessories:
Slings made of ropes, chains and/or textile
slings, if necessary equipped with suspensions
rings and end hooks.
Lifting accessories between the load and
the hook, such as: hangers, pliers, suckers,
magnets and electromagnets, etc.
These accessories must be used in compliance
with the instructions of their manufacturers.
Their mass must be deducted from the rated
capacity of the trolley/hoist to determine the
useful lifting load.
Generally not admitted accessories:
All those accessories, whose functional and
performance features can generate higher
dynamic stresses in the trolley/hoist than
permissible.
Non-permissible are, for instance, accessories
that allow immediate release of the load
(if not foreseen in the project), which can
therefore cause dynamic over stresses and/or
accidental overloads. Accessories limiting the
free handling of the load, or connected with
separate power lines, etc.
When using a MISIA electric rope hoist the
operator must observe the directions given in
order to obtain best efficiency and maximum
safety for himself and for other people. In
particular, it is very important to strictly obey the
following prescriptions:
Capacity - The capacity limit must never be
exceeded (handling heavier loads, than the
rated capacity, or overloads, or changing the
setting of the load limiter), although determined
with wide safety margins.
4.5 OPERATION
4.5.1 WORKING AREA
The working area must have the following
features:
• min. temperature: -10°C
max temperature: +40°C
max humidity: 80%;
• The standard trolley/hoist set cannot be used in the
presence of corrosive and/or abrasive fumes, smoke
or dust, with risk of fire or explosion, and in any case
it cannot work where the use of explosion proof
components is prescribed;
• Furthermore it must not be used in areas with
strong electromagnetic fields which may generate
electrostatic discharge.
Further features of the working area:
Indoors - In this case the hoist does not require any
particular precautions, since it is not exposed to
atmospheric agents.
Outdoors - The hoist can be exposed to atmospheric
agents during and after use. Whenever possible, it
will be necessary to protect the trolley/hoist and its
electronic components with roofing or shelters. To
avoid oxidation, protect the structure with suitable
treatments and lubricate the mechanism.
4.5.2 OPERATOR
The operator must be fit for the work and, from a
mental-physical point of view, and able to meet
the requirements concerning the operation of
the trolley/hoist in its intended purpose.
The operator must not allow anyone to
approach the trolley/hoist during its use and
must prevent its use by unauthorised personnel
(especially by people under 16).
The operator must follow the directions
received to maximum efficiency, minimum
consumption and to he highest safety for
himself and for others when using the trolley/
hoist. In particular, he must strictly observe the
instructions of this manual.
4.5.3 PERMISSIBLE LOADS
Shape and dimensions of the loads must
comply with the features of the handling
location and with the machine used. Loose
or bulky materials must be put in suitable
containers (to prevent them from accidentally
falling), and equipped with suitable hooking
means: Changes to static configuration of the
loads during lifting must not be possible.
