SECTION VI TROUBLESHOOTING
6-1. GENERAL
Use the following table as an aid to troubleshoot your hoist. If you do not have an experienced machinist-electrician
to do your repair work, we recommend that you send your hoist to an approved service center for repairs.
Problem
Probable Cause
Remedy
Hook Fails to
Stop at End of
Travel.
1. Limit switches not operating.
1. Check adjustment. See paragraph 5-2. Chock connections against wiring
diagram. Tighten loose connections or replace.
2. Limit switch nuts not moving on shaft.
2. Check for stripped threads or bent nut guide.
3. Magnetic reversing switch malfunction.
3. Remove electrical cover and check reversing switch.
Hoist Does Not
Respond to
Pushbutton.
1. Power failure in supply lines.
1. Check circuit breakers, switches and connections in power supply lines.
2. Wrong voltage or frequency.
2. Check voltage and frequency of power supply against the rating on the
nameplate of the hoist.
3. Improper connections in hoist or pushbutton station.
3. Check all connections at line connectors and on terminal block.
Check terminal block on dual voltage hoists [or proper voltage connections.
4. Motor brake does not release.
4. Check connections to the solenoid coil. Check for open or short circuit. Check
for proper adjustment. See paragraph 5-3.
5. Faulty magnetic hoist control switch.
5. Check coils for open or short circuit. Check all connections in control circuit.
Check for burned contacts. Replace as needed.
Hook Does Not
Stop Promptly.
1. Hoist overloaded.
1. Reduce load to within rated capacity of hoist.
2. Brake not holding.
2. Check motor brake adjustment (see paragraph 5-3) and load brake (Figure 4-3).
Hook Moves in
Wrong Direction.
1. Three-phase reversal.
1. Reverse any two wires (except the green ground wire) at the power source (see
paragraph 2-3).
2. Improper connections.
2. Check all connections against Wiring Diagram.
Hoist Hesitates
to lift When
Energized.
1. Hoist overloaded.
1. Reduce load to within rated capacity of hoist.
2. Motor brake requires adjustment.
2. Check motor brake adjustment (see paragraph 5-3)
3. Worn overload limiting clutch.
3. Replace clutch.
4. Low voltage.
4. Check voltage at hoist power cord with hoist starting. Voltage should be no less
than 90% of voltage specified on hoist.
5. Faulty SINPAC starting switch or start capacitor (single
phase hoists only).
5. Replace faulty component
Hook Raises But
Will Not Lower.
(Motor not
running)
1. “Down” circuit open.
1. Check circuit for loose connections. Check “Down” limit switch for malfunction.
2. Broken conductor in pushbutton cable.
2. Check each conductor in the cable. If one is broken, replace entire cable.
3. Faulty magnetic hoist control switch.
3. Check coils for open or short circuit. Check all connections in control circuit.
Check for burned contacts. Replace as needed.
Hook Raises But
Will Not Lower
When Motor Is
Operating.
Consult Factory or Authorized Duff-Norton Warranty Repair Station.
Hook Lowers But
Will Not Raise.
1. Hoist overloaded.
1. Reduce load to within rated capacity.
2. Low voltage.
2. Determine cause of low voltage and bring up to at least 10% of the voltage
specified on hoist. Line voltage should be measured while holding or lifting load.
3. “UP” circuit open.
3. Check circuit for loose connections. Check “UP” limit switch for malfunction.
4. Broken conductor in pushbutton cable.
4. Check each conductor in the cable. If one is broken, replace entire cable.
5. Faulty magnetic hoist control switch.
5. Check coils for open or short circuit. Check all connections in control circuit.
Check for burned Contacts. Replace as needed.
6. Faulty SINPAC Starting Switch or capacitor (single-phase
hoists only).
6. Replace faulty component.
7. Worn overload limiting clutch.
7. Replace clutch.
