NITIAL OPERATION
5.4. Connecting the power supply
The power supply for your product
PROFI 6 TI
takes place either centrally on the motor / con-
nection block or on a service unit or filter regulator.
This is connected to the compressed air hose of
the power supply.
The supply of the control system takes place from
the control valve block.
1. Check air connection parts for dirt and clean
them if necessary.
2. Sparge the compressed air hose to remove
foreign bodies.
3. Connect the compressed air hose to the port.
Firmly mount the hose clamp. Screw on the
union nut.
5.5. Lubricating the chain
Before tests can be carried out, the chain must be
lubricated.
The chain of your product
PROFI 6 TI
must be
lubricated in the links in an unloaded state.
I
Clean heavily soiled chains.
I
Place the chain in a suitable container.
I
Spray the chain with a special lubricant or ve-
hicle engine oil.
If you want to lubricate the suspended chain, en-
sure that the chain links are oiled at the contact
points. Move the chain back and forth to do this.
During operation in areas with a high corrosion po-
tential, such as offshore, the chain can be largely
protected against corrosion by using speciality
lubricants. These types of lubricants are char-
acterised, among other things, by a weathering
resistance, water insolubility and good adhesion
properties.
The re-lubrication intervals are to be set depend-
ing on the exposure. Please contact us if neces-
sary.
5.6. Tests before commissioning
Your product
PROFI 6 TI
, including the supporting
structure, must be tested by an expert prior to the
first commissioning and after significant changes
before recommissioning.
Hoists built into trolleys must be tested by an ex-
pert.
The testing extends from the installation, outfitting
and operational ability under normal conditions,
mainly to check the completeness, suitability and
effectiveness of the safety equipment, as well as to
the state of the device, the lifting gear, the equip-
ment and the load-bearing medium.
Safety devices are:
•
Brake assemblies (
