INSTALLATION
Before to start the installation follow the general warning.
Moreover:
- Check the WLL of the hoist to verify if the capacity is correct.
- Check that the load chain is not twisted and it is correctly
installed.
Only after completion of preliminary checks it will be possible
to connect the hoist at the anchoring point and perform the
following checks:
- Check that the hoist is correctly suspended by its
suspension hook and that the latch is completely closed.
- Check that the loading chain has not subject to any torsion
when setting up.
- Check the correct functionality of up and down functions
without apply the load.
- If the hoist is installed on mobile anchoring devices (i.e.
suspension trolley), check the correct functionality of these
devices.
After successfully completing these checks, place the load in
position and ensure:
- The connecting device of the load sits fully in the loading
hook and that is possible to close completely the latch.
- The load on the hoist is free to align itself with the hoist’s
anchoring point.
OPERATION
For the adjustment of the load chain length, is necessary to
proceed as follow:
- Pull the hand chain in the lifting direction (to shorten
the chain) or in the lowering direction (to lengthen the
chain). Lifting / lowering directions (“U” / "D"), are directly
embossed on the hoist body (fig.2).
- Secure the lifting hook to the load to be lifted.
- Slightly tension the load chain by pulling the hand chain in
lifting direction.
Operating the hoist:
- Pull the hand chain to lifting direction to lift the load.
- Pull the hand chain to lowering direction to lower the load.
Do not operate the chain too quickly in order to avoid
load jolts during lifting or lowering operations.
The hand chain should be pulled by a regular and
smooth actions to avoid swinging of the load.
Important:
Taking the hoist out of service, ensure that there is not
load applied and that the load chain is loose enough to
enable the bottom hook to be removed from the load.

STORAGE
The hoist should be stored hanging to avoid tangling of the
load chain, in a dry and water-proof area. Clean the hoist and
lubricate the chain using machine oil before to store.
LOAD CHAIN
To be aware of the good condition, the load chain must
be inspected daily by a competent people when the hoist
is being used. The chain must be clean and lubricated at
regular intervals using machine oil.
Do not expose the chain to excessive temperatures,
chemical agents, abrasive materials and welding arcs.
MAINTENANCE
The hoist must be periodically inspected and tested with a
load by a competent people, at least once every year and, in
any cases, in accordance with the safety regulation in use in
the country of use.
Periodically, especially after heavy or intensive use, is
necessary to lubricated mechanical part.
The brake must be kept clean and dry. Never let brake
discs receive some lubricant.
The condition of the hooks must be checked regularly. The
maximum acceptable deformation on the opening of the
hook ("D", fig. 1) is 3 mm.
