8 Installation of hoist – stepless (3 phases)
The service life of the hoist depends on the way it is installed.
The instructions in this manual must be followed carefully for the installation, use and maintenance of
the hoist.
Any use contrary to our instructions can be dangerous. In this case, the manufacturer will not accept
any responsibility.
Do not use the hoist until this manual has been fully read and assimilated.
Always keep this manual near the hoist, available to the operator and the person in charge of
maintenance.
Make sure that the safety rules are followed
(harness, clearance of work areas, posting up of
instructions to be followed in the area...).
,
Install the breather on the upper part of the hoist.
Carry out :
The electrical connection
(refer to Electrical connection).
Fitting of the chain bucket
(refer to Chain bucket).
Check that the suspension hook is correctly
positioned, depending on whether for 1 or 2
falls.
Check that the tightening torques of the hook
blocks, locking plates and chain guide conform
to the torques indicated in this manual
(refer to
Screw tightening torques)
.
Check that the chain is not twisted.
Check that the slack fall stop is correctly attached in the chain bucket and that the fixed point and the
2-fall chain are correctly held.
Measure the dimension of the opening of the suspension hooks and the hook block. Note it for a
follow-up.
Once these checks have been completed, proceed as follows (be ready to press the emergency stop
button at all times).
Oil and start to run in the chain by a few movements without load.
Check, when not under load, that the movement of the hook
corresponds to the direction of the arrows on the control box.
If not, invert 2 supply phases.
Check the operation of the brake: lift up a nominal load and then lower it.
Check the operation of the limit switch. Adjust it if needed. (See
“Maintenance”)
Carry out dynamic tests with +10% of the nominal load and static tests
with +25% of the nominal load on your installation equipped with our hoist.
