Dereeving Secondary Suspension Wire Rope
• In order to remove the optional secondary suspension wire rope, there must be no slack on the primary suspension
wire rope and the platform must be supported on a stable surface.
• Remove the counterweight from the end of the secondary suspension wire rope.
• Pull the secondary suspension wire rope out of the hoist by hand.
• If necessary, the primary suspension wire rope can now be removed from the hoist.
Dereeving Primary Suspension Wire Rope
For hoists equipped with the optional secondary wire rope, the secondary wire rope must be removed before
the primary wire rope is removed.
• WARNING!WARNING! To prevent hoists and platform from tipping and avoid injuries, ensure that the platform is properly
supported on a stable, at surface before putting slack on the primary suspension wire rope.
• Push in the DOWN operation button to wind the primary suspension wire rope out of the hoist. To remove
the last 15 inches (40 cm) of wire rope, if necessary, grab the wire rope above the primary suspension wire rope
insertion point, hold the overspeed brake reset knob in the reset position (vertical) and slowly pull the primary
suspension wire rope out of the hoist.
Daily Testing and Inspection
• Before operating the hoist, inspect the following:
▫ Wire rope, Power supply, Rigging, Platform, and Hoist
▫ All parts are present, in proper working order, and are not damaged.
▫ Bolts, nuts, and clamps are well secured.
▫ Ensure the hoist is secured to the stirrup with SAE Grade 5 fasteners and lock nuts that are properly installed.
• In a dirty environment that contains epoxy, paint, cement, sand blast residue, or corrosive material, inspect the
operation of the overspeed brake several times a day. Protective hoist covers are recommended. Contact your
supplier.
Battery charge level
• The battery will recharge as the hoist is operated in the down direction.
• Use the Battery Charge Level Indicator 12 to determine if there is sucient charge for anticipated use.
• If power is lost while suspended, use the emergency decent lever to lower the platform.
Test the Overspeed Brake
• While powering the hoist UP and DOWN
approximately 3 feet (1 meter), look through the
window into the overspeed compartment to see
whether the ywheel is turning.
Flywheel
• Dereeve the wire rope:
• Re-insert the wire rope about 12" (30 cm) into
the hoist.
• Holding the wire rope rmly, pull it out quickly. If
the brake is working correctly, it will grab and hold
the wire rope in less than 4" (10 cm). The DOWN
button will light up REDRED to indicate the overspeed
brake has activated and the DOWN circuit has been
interrupted.
• Repeat this test at least 3 times. If the brake does
not work correctly every time, DO NOT USE THE
HOIST. Return the hoist to your supplier.
• Reset the overspeed brake by turning the overspeed
brake reset knob clockwise.
Test the Overspeed Brake Test Button
• Push in the UP operation button and raise the platform approximately 3 feet (1 meter).
• Remove the Emergency Descent Lever from the storage location and insert into brake through the motor fan
shroud .
• Lift the Emergency Descent Lever. As the hoist begins to descend, push the Overspeed Test Button.
• The hoist MUST stop IMMEDIATELY!
Test the Emergency Stop Button
• While running the hoist in either direction, press the red emergency stop button.
• Once the emergency stop button has been pressed, the hoist should not move at all.
• To reset the emergency stop button, pull the button out.
Test the Emergency Descent
• Raise the platform approximately 3 feet (1 meter).
• Remove the Emergency Descent Lever from the storage location and insert into brake through the motor fan
shroud .
• Pull up the emergency descent lever SLOWLY, to make sure the hoist does not overspeed. The platform should
descend at a* slow, controlled speed.
WARNING!WARNING! If the overspeed brake trips while testing the emergency descent, the emergency descent system is not
working properly and THE HOIST SHOULD NOT BE USED.
