3. INSTALLATION
Before installing the bravo™ hoist make the
following checks:
1. Check that the hoist is in good condition.
2. Check that the correct hoist capacity is to
be used.
3. Check that the hooks and safety latches are
in good condition.
4. Check that the low limit stop is in place.
5. When the hoist uses a multiple strand
chain, make sure that the strands are not
tangled or twisted.
6. Check that the load chain is correctly fitted.
7. Check that the anchor point is sufficient to
take the intended load.
After successfully completing the preliminary
checks, install the bravo™ hoist on its
anchoring point and perform the following
checks:
1. Check that the bravo™ hoist is properly
suspended by its suspension hook (item 5,
fig. 1) and that the hook safety catch (item 6,
fig. 1) is properly closed (see figs 2 and 3).
2. Check that the load chain has not been
subjected to any torsion when setting up, in
particular for the two-strand version (see
fig.4).
3. Without load, check that the up and down
functions operate correctly.
4.
When using the hoist with a push
suspension trolley, without load, check that
the trolley moves freely. If using a geared
suspension trolley, without load, check the
direction of movement by pulling on the
trolley hand chain. The movement should
be carried out on a strictly horizontal plane.
After successfully completing these checks,
place the load in position and ensure:
1. the anchoring accessory of the load sits
fully in the hook and does not prevent the
catch from closing correctly (see figs. 2
and 3).
2. the load on the hoist is free to align itself
with the machineʼs anchoring point.

Optionally, the bravo™ hoists of W.L.L* 0.75t / 1.5t / 3t / 6t / 9t an be equipped with a dynamic load limiter adjusted
between 1.1 and 1.9 x WLL*. The load limiter mechanism is integrated in the lever and is formed by friction disks
and a clamping nut by which the limiter is adjusted. This adjustment is performed by TRACTEL
