SAFE OPERATION
4.4 SILENCING
The TCR hoist is fitted with an internal silencer; the noise output being less than 83 dB at one metre (this conforms to E.C. noise regulations).
TCS-500 & TCS-980
The silencer comprises four nylon pads.
The life expectancy of the silencer correlates closely with the quality of air supplied.
Periodic examination of the silencer is not required, nor is it recommended (see below). As the silencer becomes contaminated a reduced
speed of operation will be noted. At this point the nylon silencer should be cleaned or replaced and the gauze silencer should be changed.
4.5 CHANGING THE SILENCER(S) - see parts list.
TCS-500 & TCS-980
Located at the end of the motor, the silencers are behind the exhaust plate.
TCS series: The exhaust air can be easily piped away from the hoist body. Disassemble the exhaust plate and silencer, there you will see a 3/4"
BSP threaded hole. Assemble a hose joint and connect a hose (inner diameter 25mm).
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
Before carrying out any work on the hoist the main air supply should be turned off and the residual air vented or the hoist run to dissipate
the air pressure.
Red Rooster hoists normally do not require any adjustment as the brake springs take up any wear and the load limiter and limits should not
need adjustment once set.
The lubricator should be checked and topped up weekly in normal use or daily when heavily used.
The load chain should be checked monthly for lubrication and oiled if necessary. Where the load chain is not lubricated for operational
reasons the chain should be inspected weekly as a dry chain can wear rapidly.
The top and bottom hooks should only be lubricated if required during checks.
The hoist gearbox is greased during assembly or repair and should not need greased during operation.
There are no hazardous substances in Red Rooster hoists.
