■
■
■
Before installing the machine, perform the pre-use checks as defined in section 6.3; if these checks fail,
do not use the hoist.
Ensure that there is no unauthorized personnel in the installation area, and allow access to it only to
persons who are informed about exposure to the risks arising from the installation and handling of
suspended loads.
Before installation, check that the lifting and set up operations for the suspended loads have been
properly designed and planned.

Protect the hoist and its components from corrosive chemicals, inclement weather, heat sources and
open flames (e.g. fireworks).
Attach the suspended load to the Chain hook of the hoist by means of lifting accessories and/or
suspension points integrated into the load itself.
Before lifting the suspended load, make sure that it is firmly placed in the saddle of the hoist hook.
In case of use of hoists with double chain fall (multiple chain lengths) check that the chain is not twisted;
if applicable, rotate the pulley-hook block until the twist is completely removed.
Before moving the load, notify the personnel in the area of installation and set up of suspended loads.
Limit "bumping" operations, i.e. repeatedly starting and stopping the machine to adjust the position of
the EXE RISE hoist.
The lifting operation must be planned and analysed before moving the load; lifting operations can
generate additional hazards during the installation phases.
To operate EXE RISE electric chain hoists in multiple lifting mode, the additional hazards listed in table
below shall be considered and appropriately reduced.

Mechanical Crushing Failure of lifting accessories

Not be the source of further hazards.
Not be easy to ignore, bypass or render ineffective.
Be located at an appropriate distance from the danger zone.
Not impede the operator's view.
Allow the normal installation and operating procedures of EXE RISE electric chain hoists, ideally
without having to remove such protections.
WARNINGWARNING
The list of hazards is not exhaustive, and includes only the minimum hazards to be considered.The list of hazards is not exhaustive, and includes only the minimum hazards to be considered.

Once the suspended load reaches the operating position it is necessary to install secondary safety
devices if required by the intended use of the hoist and/or by local regulations.
When the whole chain is collected in the bag, at the last one quarter of it must be empty so as to prevent
the chain from accidentally falling out.
Ensure that the chain stop does not come into contact with the machine frame; in case of accidental
contact, operate the hoist by reversing the direction of travel so as to remove the stop from the body.
Remove secondary safety devices before lowering suspended loads.

DO NOT move persons with EXE RISE D8 and D8+ electric chain hoists as it is forbidden by the
manufacturer/authorised representative.
DO NOT install lifting accessories in the hook saddle whose dimensions are not sufficient to fit on the
axis of the chain.
DO NOT connect the hoist plug directly to a power outlet but use a control system that meets the
minimum requirements as specified in these instructions.
DO NOT install the hoist in a position where the chain, hoist frame and chain bag can come into contact
with external bodies.
DO NOT use the hoist chain to harness the suspended load or to perform operations other than vertical
lifting.
DO NOT approach the moving chain so as not to be exposed to the risk of entanglement and/or
dragging.

3.33.3 LOAD CHAINLOAD CHAIN
The chain installed on EXE RISE electric chain hoists is a DAT type, RTS chain made of galvanized alloy
steel grade 80 and complies with the harmonized standard DIN EN 818-7.
Depending on the EXE RISE electric chain hoist model, different size of chain are used:
The same EXE RISE electric chain hoist model can be equipped with different chain lengths.
All the size and technical specifications of the chains are listed below as refered in figure 3.4.

The free end of the chain is attached to the chain bag bracket through a dedicated bracket, allowing it to position
correctly according to the hoists mode of use (standard or self-climbing).
The last link of the chain is attached to the chain bag bracket by means of carabiners complying with DIN 56927 or
DIN 5299 standards or equivalent. These carabiners report the working load limit (WLL). The size and technical
characteristics are given in figure 3.6.

3.43.4 HOOKSHOOKS
The hoist hooks are made of alloy steel and are categorised as body hook and chain hook.
Both hooks are swivelling and are equipped with an automatic safety latch that prevents the load from accidentally
coming unhooked.
