4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Test and Operational Checks
On completion of installation, but before the hoist is put into regular service, the following procedure should be carried
out:
Record the hoist’s Code, Lot and Serial Number from the name plate on the hoist.
Check that the hoist is properly installed to either a fixed point or trolley, whichever applies.
If hoist is installed on a trolley, ensure that:
The trolley is properly installed on the beam.
The stops for the trolley are correctly positioned and securely installed on the beam.
Isolate the power supply.
Check that all mechanical and electrical joints and connections are tight and secure.
Check that all nuts, bolts and split pins (cotter pins) are securely fastened.
Confirm proper operation:
Before operating read and become familiar with this manual.
Before operating check to ensure that the hoist and trolley meet the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance
requirements of ANSI/ASME B30.16.
Before operating check that nothing will interfere with the full range of the hoist’s (and trolley’s) operation.
Switch on the power supply.
Run lightly with no load, throughout the full extent of the hoist and check that the operation is smooth at all times.
Check the operation of the hoist brake, run under light load and full load conditions.
Check supply voltage before everyday use. If the voltage varies more than 10% of the
rated value, electrical devices may not function normally.
Confirm the adequacy of the rated capacity for all slings, chains, wire ropes and
all other lifting attachments before use. Inspect all load suspension members for
damage prior to use and replace or repair all damaged parts.
