7.2
Control devices and their location
7.2.1
Controls for movements
The speed corresponds to the position of the direction control. The equipment moves at the slowest speed when
the pushbutton is partially pushed and at the maximum speed when the pushbutton is fully pushed. The equipment
stops moving when the pushbutton is released.
1
When the pushbutton is released the equipment will stop moving.
2
When the pushbutton is partially pressed, the equipment will move at a slow speed.
3
When the pushbutton is fully pressed, the equipment will accelerate up to the maximum speed.
Note:
If you press a pushbutton (for example
hoist
UP) while the opposite direction pushbutton is pressed (for
example
hoist
DOWN) the lifting device will not change direction.
Note:
Sudden speed changes increase wear on motors and brakes and can cause an overtemperature in the
motor(s).
7.2.2
Controller
The layout of controls may vary from product to product. The function of each control is indicated by a symbol and it
is important that the operator knows what the symbols mean in order to operate the equipment safely.
7.3
Checks to Be Done Before Every Working Shift
Before every working shift, the operator SHALL make the following checks to ensure that the product is in a safe
operating condition. By carrying out these simple checks, the operator can identify potential problems at any early
stage, thereby enhancing safety and minimizing down time.
NOTICE
If any abnormal condition or malfunction is noted on the daily inspection or occurs
during daily operation, report it to the supervisor immediately and remove the product
from use. Operation may only continue when safe operation is ensured.
