INITIAL START-UP
Before connecting power to hoist, check all control buttons / switches to make sure that they
operate freely without binding or sticking. Check power and control cables to ensure that they
are not damaged.
4.1
General
Initial start-up procedures are as follows:
•
Read all attached WARNING tags and placards affixed to hoist.
•
Oil the load chain generously over entire length of chain.
•
Make sure that load chain is not twisted. If so, untwist load chain before using.
•
Make sure fall stop is placed at least 3 feet [91.4 cm] from last chain link on free end.
•
Install chain container.
•
If furnished, make sure that trolley wheels have proper spacing in relation to beam flange.
See appropriate trolley manual for details.
•
Check direction of hook travel to make certain that it corresponds to respective control button
that is depressed. That is, does hook travel “UP” when UP BUTTON is depressed? If OK,
continue. If not, proceed to section 3.3.
•
Perform no-load operational checks as described in Section 3.3
•
Run test with load as described in Section 3.4.
4.2
Correcting the Direction of Hook Travel
DO NOT change control leads in controllers or control leads at motor relays. DO NOT change
nameplates on control assemblies. The limit switch (if provided) is wired in series with “UP”
control circuit as furnished from factory. Changing control leads or nameplates will prevent the
upper safety travel limit switch from functioning properly.
Reversing any two power leads of a three-phase AC motor will reverse the direction of rotation.
•
Reverse any two leads of a three-phase power at the main power source or at connections
to motor. Do not change internal wiring of hoist.
•
Use the phase reverse button when supplied with controller.
