5.4.2.2 Inspecting load support performance
1) Raise the pl/- 10cm of the surface with the Sky Climber hoist.
2) Engage (trip) the Sky Lock brake onto the wire rope by activating the manual trip lever on the brake.
3) Operate the Sky Climber hoist in the
“DOWN” direction. The system should not descend, because
the Sky Lock brake will be locked onto the wire rope and supporting the system.
4)
Operate the hoist in the “UP” direction approximately 5 cm to relieve the load from the Sky Lock
brake.
5) Manually reset the Sky Lock fall arrest device.
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust or repair the Sky lock brake. It is a precision device
and must be handled carefully.
5.5 OVER- UNDERLOAD CALIBRATION AND INSPECTION
In order to protect the over-/underload device from unauthorised adjustment, calibration of this device
requires a special tool. Refer to the “Safety Devices Assembly Manual” for more details on this tool.
5.5.1 Calibration of the overload device
1) Raise the pl/- 10cm of the surface with the Sky Climber hoist.
2) Load the platform with the maximum load specified in table 2.
3) Turn the lower ring on the OL bushing assembly upwards until the OL switch activates the audio
alarm.
4) Remove some of the load until the working load level is reached. The overload switch shall not be
activated at this load.
5) Whenever the load on the platform exceeds the trigger level, an audio alarm will occur and the
overload device will prevent the hoist from moving upwards.

5.5.2 Calibration of the underload device
1) Raise the pl/- 10cm of the surface with the Sky Climber hoist.
2) Load the platform with the intended working load.
3) Turn the upper ring on the UL bushing assembly downwards until the UL switch activates the audio
alarm.
4) Turn the upper ring slightly back until the alarm stops.
5) Whenever the load on the platform decreases the intended working load, an audio alarm will occur
and the underload device shall prevent the hoist from moving downwards.
5.6 HOIST COMPONENTS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the Sky Climber equipment requires special tools and training available only at Factory
authorized service centers. All Sky Climber Compact material must be returned to a Factory authorized
service center for inspection and maintenance after every 12 months of operation.
WARNING: Failure to have your equipment inspected and maintained by a Factory authorized
service center every 12 months, may result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Sky Climber hoists are lubricated for life. Under normal conditions, they will not require further
lubrication. However, if an oil leak is observed, return the hoist to a Factory authorized service center.
