Preoperational Checks and Trial Operation
3.7.1
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.
3.7.2
Verify and correct all chain irregularities prior to operating the hoist. Refer to
Section 3.2.
3.7.3
Measure and record the “k” dimension of all hooks on hoist. See Table 5-4 under Section 5,
“Inspection”.
3.7.4
Record the hoist's Code, Lot and Serial Number (from the name plate on the hoist; see Section 10) in
the space provided on the cover of this manual.
3.7.5
Ensure that the hoist is properly installed to either a fixed point, or trolley, whichever applies.
3.7.6
If hoist is installed on a trolley, ensure that
trolley is properly installed on the beam, and
stops for the trolley are correctly positioned and securely installed on the beam.
3.7.7
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and split pins (cotter pins) are sufficiently fastened.
3.7.8
Pull down on the Pendant and ensure that the Cord Strain Relief Cable takes the force, not the
Pendant Cord.
3.7.9
Check supply voltage before everyday use. If the voltage varies more than 10% of
the rated value, electrical devices may not function normally.
3.7.10 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.
3.7.11
The hoist must be connected to the power source such that its direction of
operation corresponds to the up-and-down commands issued from the pendant control; i.e. pushing the
UP button must cause the hoist to lift the load chain and hook. If the hoist does not operate correctly,
shut off and lockout /tagout the main power source to the hoist. Disconnect and switch any two of the
three input power leads at the power source to correct the hoist’s motor phasing.
