5. Installation
Prior delivery, all units have been lubricated, tested with full load and overload and they
received a test certificate.
– Hang hoist with the clamp into the load carrying system and turn once.
– Hand chain and load chain must hang free and be without breaks or twists.
– Operate mechanism for lifting and lowering and carry out load-free test run with
lifting and lowering.
– Inspection of load brake: Lift up lightly the load and hold it. If load is safe, go on
lifting. When lowering, the load shall not slide after hand chain shutdown or stop of
the lever movement at the lever hoist respectively.
– If everything is performed properly, operation can be started.
– Important for devices of multiple lines: Lower block shall not be snapped through
the chain loop. This can be recognised by a twisted chain. Each second chain link
is in one row not steadily in alignment. If the welded seams of the chain links are
not in same direction the lower block must be struck back through the chain loop.
– The last chain link must be fastened on the cabinet.
Indications for the lever hoist PLX-II
– The top load hook of the hoist must be secured fasten to the supporting part.
Make sure that the safety latch is engaged.
– Don’t use a hoist showing wear or damages. Inspect the hoist periodically and
replace worn and damaged parts.
– Don’t support any load with the tip of the hook. The hoist is very dangerous if you
over load it. When you feel the operation hand force is obviously bigger than the
effort under lifting permissible capacity, you should stop the operation immediately
and ask the technical personnel for checking. Because you could be in overloading
or some parts have be damaged.
– Chain freewheel must be switched off before lifting.
– Never load the lever hoist with switched on free-wheel!
– Do not lift a load simultaneously with several lever hoists
– Click sound of safety catch is normal when the load is lifted.
– The brake grabs permanently – independent from traction direction (lifting or
lowering)
Exception In case of switched freewheel. – Never switch to freewheel under load!
– Never hang on the rubber protection handhold!
