Responsible personal shall check frequently whether the staff working with the hoist is doing
it in accordance with the safety instructions.
The owner of the hoist or of the company and his management are responsible for the good
condition and for completeness of all necessary safety devices at the hoist and that it is used
only in a safe manner. The Test booklet must be properly held and it has to contain the annual
inspection check. We recommend to sign a maintenance contract with HHL who can inspect,
maintain and repair your equipment periodically.
Please set any chain hoist or trolley out of order if a failure appears in function. Call for
designated help!
The personal who works with the hoist, shall not bear long open hair, loose suits or jewels
including rings. That could effect danger of injuries or that something can be pulled into the
hoist.
Safety tags, stickers and other attached instructions at the hoists like name plates are not
allowed to be replaced, removed or over painted. All written, printed or stamped letters and
safety instructions have to be held in good readable condition. Use grease or other protection
if necessary!
Important: If this hoist or this trolley was made for manual powered operation, you are not
allowed to power it by a motorized device without prior allowance of the manufacturer.
For example: the use of an electric hand drilling machine is not allowed to be used at a reel
chain wheel.
5. Operation
Test before use
Please check whether the supplied hoist is in accordance with your purchase order, check
completeness and tightness of all bolts and nuts.
Make sure that there occurred no damages during transportation.
Copy and write down the date from name plate into your operation manual after inspection of
the hoist and trolley.
Take fully care that the maintenance and operation manual is in reach of the personal who
works with the hoist or make sure that the supervisor has it at hand to instruct the personal.
Check or recalculate whether the supporting construction (beam, clamp etc) in which the
trolley or hoist hangs is in full compliance with the necessary capacity. If you are in doubt,
please call for help of a construction engineer for statics.
Chain hoists hanging in a trolley or even incorporated in a trolley, are cranes.
They have to comply with special standards and safety regulations. They have to be checked
by a ”crane expert” prior use. We can help you with such an expert upon your request.
Installation hint
Do not use the hoist and trolley without corrosion protection (grease) under free sky or leave
it there.
If it is necessary that the unit has to be used outside, we recommend to construct a little ”hut”
or only a roof like a ”car port“ to protect the unit against rain and other environed aggressive
influences. A new HHL-hoist is not restricted in use outside or under the described conditions,
but during the operations while chains move and wheels drive, there will be wear on metal
parts where corrosion can take effect. This is not a warranty claim! Mainly high temperatures,
high air moisture, acid atmospheres, poison steams or high dust pollution are the major
reasons why a hoist can get wear and can get a shortened life time. Mechanical moving parts
are mostly affected. Watch these parts generally and keep them greased and maintained
whenever it seems to be necessary.
When your unit will be used daily and it is important that it functions absolutely for sure,
please buy a spare unit to have it at hand in case of trouble. This avoids down time in your
production.
Do not allow the unit and chain to be exposed to extremely cold whether. Do not apply loads
to a cold chain. Temperatures below -20 degr. C or above +60 may decrease the safe working
load. Call manufacturer if in doubt!
6. Installation
Prior delivery, all units have been lubricated, tested with full load and overload and they received
a test certificate.
Hang hoist with the clamp into the load carrying system and turn once.
Hand chain and load chain must hang free and be without breaks or twists.
Operate mechanism for lifting and lowering and carry out load-free test run with lifting and
lowering.
Inspection of load brake: Lift up lightly the load and hold it. If load is safe, go on lifting. When
lowering, the load shall not slide after hand chain shutdown or stop of the lever movement at
the lever hoist respectively.
If everything is performed properly, operation can be started.
Important for devices of multiple lines: Lower block shall not be snapped
through the chain loop. This can be recognized by a twisted chain. Each
second chain link is in one row not steadily in alignment. If the welded
seams of the chain links are not in same direction the lower block must be
struck back through the chain loop.
The last chain link must be fastened on the cabinet
Indications for the lever hoist S
PRO
The top load hook of the hoist must be secured fasten to the supporting part.
Make sure that the safety latch is engaged.
Don’t use a hoist showing wear or damages.
Inspect the hoist periodically and replace worn and damaged parts.
