Installation preparations
4.3.1
Transport, packing, scope of delivery
The product is packed in a box for transportation. Before starting to install the hoist, visually
check that the package in which the product has been delivered to you is intact. Also check that
the content of the delivery matches with your order. If not, contact your supplier. If the hoist has
been stored for a long time or has been transported by sea, check that the motors are dry.
To remove the hoist from the box, first remove the temporary transport supports. The chain
bucket is not fixed to the hoist during transportation, so lift the hoist and the chain bucket from
the box simultaneously. Note that the chain connects the bucket and the hoist.
WARNING! EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
If the hoist is used in outdoor conditions, water may be able to collect to the inside of
the chain bucket, which could cause damage to the hoist and the chain.
Drill a hole with a diameter (D) of 10 mm (0.4 in) to the bottom of the chain bucket to
allow for water to drain. Do the drilling when the hoist is installed, before the chain is
placed to the chain bucket, to avoid damaging the chain. The draining hole can only be
drilled to chain buckets that are made of hard plastic and steel. It is not possible to use
it with chain bags that are made of the soft canvas material.
NOTE
Do not bundle the chain into the chain bucket.

Handling the product
Lifting the hoist
To select an appropriate lifting device and prevent overloading, check the weight of the hoist
before starting to lift it. The weight of the hoist can be found on the packing list, in the technical
documents, or on the hoist data plate.
The hoist is normally lifted using an auxiliary hoist and some kind of a lifting device. The most
common lifting devices are chains and lifting belts. Every lifting device must be clearly marked
with the rated capacity and must be approved by authorities.
