„

WARNING

Confirm the adequacy of the rated capacity for all slings, chains, wire ropes

and all other lifting attachments before use. Inspect all load suspension members for damage prior
to use and replace or repair all damaged parts.

„ Ensure that trolley is properly installed on the beam, and stops for the trolley are correctly

positioned and securely installed on the beam.

„ Ensure that all nuts, bolts and split pins (cotter pins) are sufficiently fastened.

„ Pull down on the Pendant and ensure that the Cord Strain Relief Cable takes the force, not the

Pendant Cord.

„

CAUTION

Check supply voltage before everyday use. If the voltage varies more than

10% of the rated value, electrical devices may not function normally.

3.5.4

Confirm proper operation.

„ Before operating read and become familiar with

Section 4

- Operation.

„ Before operating ensure that the hoist (and trolley) meets the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance

requirements of ANSI/ASME B30.16.

„ Before operating ensure that nothing will interfere with the full range of the hoist’s (and trolley’s)

operation.

3.5.5

Proceed with trial operation to confirm proper operation.

„ Verify that the controls agree with hoist direction. Make sure that depression of the Up button lifts

the load chain and depression of the Down button lowers the load chain hook. If the load chain
does not move in the correct direction when the push buttons are pushed, the power supply is
phased incorrectly. In this case, turn off the power source or breaker switch then reverse any two
of the three wires at the power source. The hook will then move in accordance with the directions
of the push button.

„ Operate the trolley though it's full range of motion. Make sure the trolley runs smoothly and does

not bind. Check the power supply and festoon system for proper operation

„ Perform inspections per

Section 5.3

, “Frequent Inspections”.
