8. Double check your anchors and make sure all connections are
secure.
9. Inspect the wire rope. Make sure there are at least 5 wraps of wire
rope around the hoist drum.(usually marked with red)
10. Clear the area. Make sure all people, spectators are well back.
11. Begin hoisting. Be sure that the wire rope is winding evenly and
tightly around the drum. Avoid shock loading the wire rope under
tension.
12. The hoist is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single
line rig do not power in for more than 8 minutes without letting the
motor cool down for a few minutes and then resume the hoisting
operation.
DANGER
NEVER allow a crane to “two block.” Excess loads can create
undetectable damage, which may cause the hoist to fail even when
lifting loads within its rated capacity..
13. Once the load is secure - Release the tension and disconnect the
hook from the load. The hoist is NOT designed as securing device
and should NEVER hold a suspending load or used as securing device
whilst in transport, hoist cable MUST be released when equipment
is secure. Failure to follow these instructions will damage the brake
and hoist and void any warranty.
14. Rewind the wire rope under load. Make sure that any wire already
on the drum has spooled tightly and neatly. If not, draw out the wire
and re-spool from the point where the rope is tight.
15. Keep your hands clear of the hoist drum as the wire rope is being
drawn in.
16. Disconnect the remote control lead and store in a clean, dry place.
17. Clean and inspect connections and mounting hardware for next
hoisting operation.
MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical
connections. Remove all dirt or corrosion and always keep clean.
2. Do not attempt to disassemble the gear box. Repairs should be
done by the manufacturer or an authorized repair center.
3. The gear box has been lubricated using a high temperature lithium
grease and is sealed at the factory. No internal lubrication is
required.
REpLACING THE WIRE ROpE
If the wire rope has become worn or is beginning to show signs of fraying,
it must be replaced before being used again.
1. Extend cable to its full length. Note how the existing cable is
connected to the drum.
2. Remove old cable assembly and attach new one as the old cable
connected to the drum. Insert the end of the new rope and secure
the screw.
3. Ensure that the new cable wraps in the same rotation direction as
the old one. The cable should exit the drum from the bottom, under
the drum. (Underwind).
4. Hoist cable onto drum, first five wraps being careful not to allow
kinking, then hoist cable must be wound onto the drum under a load
of at least 10% rated line pull.
WARNING
Only replace the wire rope with the identical replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Steel or synthetic ropes are NOT
covered by any warranty offer and are sole responsibility of the owner
or user to maintain and replace if necessary.
