INSTALLATION:
A. PRE--INSTALLATION CHECKS:
1. Check for transit damage.
2. Check that all external wiring is in good order.
3. Check that the load chain is in good order.
4. Check that all fasteners and joints are tight and secure.
5. Check the capacity of the lifting unit and bottom block.
B. POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
To insure proper operation, to avoid damage to the hoist and electrical system, and to reduce the risk of
electrical shock or re, the branch circuit supplying power to the hoist must:
1. Effectively ground the hoist in accordance with the National Electrical Code and other applicable
codes. Proper grounding provides a path with the least resistance for the electrical current to travel
reducing the risk of electrical shock. The standard power cord is equipped with a three prong plug,
used with our 110V unit. Make sure that the receptacle opening that receives the longest prong is
properly grounded.
2. Be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANST/NFPA-70) and applicable National,
State and Local codes.
3. Include a disconnecting means capable of being locked in the ‘open’ position.
4. Have ample capacity to prevent excessive voltage drop during starting and operation. When
determining the size of branch circuit components and conductors, special consideration should be
given to the starting current amps (approximately three times that shown on the hoist identication
plate) and the length of the conductors. As a minimum, the system should be rated for 20 amps
and the system should have #14 AWG or larger, wiring.
5. Include slow blow type fuses or inverse trip time circuit breakers to permit the hoist to start and
accelerate the load.
Failure to properly ground the hoist presents the danger of electric shock.
To avoid injury: Permanently ground the hoist as instructed in this manual.
Failure to provide a proper power supply system for the hoist may cause hoist damage and
offers the potential for a re.
To avoid injury: Provide the hoist with a 20 amp, minimum, over current protected power
supply per the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) and applicable local codes as
instructed in this manual.
C. CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY:
An adequate supply system is required along the total length of travel (where appropriate). The supply
voltage and frequency at which the hoist operates, is marked on the motor rating plate. It is imperative to
check before connecting the unit that these gures correspond with those of the supply voltage.
WARNING
WARNING

EN pg.7
D. MOUNTING THE HOIST:
Hang the hoist from its intended support. The structure used to support the hoist must have sufcient
strength to withstand several times the load amount. If you are not sure of the weight the structure can
hold, consult a registered engineer and the local building codes.
Suspending the hoist from an inadequate support could allow the hoist and load to fall and
cause personal injury and/or property damage.
To avoid injury: Make sure that the structure has sufcient strength to withstand several
times the hoist and its rated load amount. Using the upper hook, hang the hoist from the
support. Make sure the hoist is solidly held in the uppermost part of the hook arc and the
latch is tightly against the hook tip.
E. LOAD CHAIN:
The chain should feed smoothly into and away from the hoist and hook block (1/2 ton and 1 ton). If the
chain binds, jumps or is noisy, First clean and lubricate the chain, iftroub1e persists inspect chain and
mating parts for wear, distortion and other damages.
F. LOAD CHAIN LUBRICATION:
Always lubricate load chain weekly or more frequently depending on severity of service. Lubricate load
chain with a light coat of Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R (Fiske Bros. Rening Co.) or equal lubricant.
Be sure the lubricant reaches the bearing surfaces between the links. Remove the excess oil from the
chain.
Used motor oils contain unknown carcinogenic materials.
To avoid health problems: Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use
Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load chain.
G. HOOK AND EYE SUSPENSION HOISTS:
The suspension point should be of a correct size to admit the top hook or eye of the hoist and allow it
to rest properly on the saddle. It must be adequate to support the hoist while it is being operated at its
maximum capacity (safe working load).
H. CHAIN CONTAINER:
For installations where the slack chain hanging from the hoist may be objectionable or hazardous, the
use of a chain container is recommended.
Do not attempt to store more chain in the chain container than what is specied for the
hoist or serious damage to hoist may result and hazardous conditions may be created.
INSTALLATION OF STANDARD CHAIN CONTAINER:
1. Remove both bolts from the chain container
mounting bracket.
2. Attach the chain container to the bracket.
3. Reinsert the bolts.

I. TEST AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS:
On completion of installation, but before the hoist is put into regular service, the following procedure
should be carried out:
1. Record the hoist’s Code, Lot and Serial Number from the name plate on the hoist.
2. Check that the hoist is properly installed to either a xed point or trolley, whichever applies.
3. If hoist is installed on a trolley, ensure that:
- The trolley is properly installed on the beam.
- The stops for the trolley are correctly positioned and securely installed on the beam.
4. Isolate the power supply.
5. Check that all mechanical and electrical joints and connections are tight and secure.
6. Check that all nuts, bolts and split pins (cotter pins) are securely fastened.
7. Conrm proper operation:
- Before operating read and become familiar with this manual.
-Before operating check to ensure that the hoist (and trolley) meet the Inspection, Testing
and Maintenance requirements of ANSI!ASME B30.16.
-Before operating check that nothing will interfere with the full range of the hoist’s
(and trolley’s) operation.
8. Switch on the power supply.
9. Run lightly with no load, throughout the full extent of the hoist and check that the operation is
smooth at all times.
10. Check the operation of the hoist brake, run under light load and full load conditions.
Check supply voltage before everyday use. If the voltage varies more than 10% of the rated
value, electrical devices may not function normally.
Conrm 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.
Verify and correct all chain irregularities prior to operating the hoist.
J. UNPACKING:
Once package has been opened, carefully inspect the hoist frame, hooks, chain and control station for
damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Operating a unit with obvious external damage may cause load to drop and could result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
To avoid injury: Carefully check unit for external damage prior to installation.
Make sure to check that the power supply to which the hoist is to be connected matches the information
shown on the identication plate located on the bottom of the hoist.

MAINTENANCE:
A. CHAIN INSPECTION:
1. First clean chain with a non-caustic/non-acid type solvent and make a link by link inspection for
nicks, gouges, twisted links, weld splatter, corrosion pits, striations (minute parallel lines), cracks in
weld areas, wear and stretching. A chain with any of these defects must be replaced before use.
2. When checking the chain for wear, check the part of the chain that goes through the lift wheel
of the hoist most often. Check the interlink area of the chain links for the point of maximum wear.
Measure and record the stock diameter at this point of the link. Then measure stock diameter in the
same area on a link that does not pass through the lift wheel. Compare these two measurements.
If the stock diameter of the worn link is 0.010 inches or more, than the stock diameter of the
unworn link, the chain must be replaced.
3. Check the chain for stretch with a vernier caliper. Select an unused, unstretched section of
chain then measure and record the length. Measure and record the same length on a worn section
of chain. Obtain the amount of stretch and wear by subtracting the measurement of the unworn
section from the worn section. If the result is greater than 0.145 inch, the chain must be replaced.
4. Use only a ‘Knife-edge’ caliper to eliminate the possibility of false reading by not measuring full
pitch length.
5. These chains are specially heat treated and hardened, they should never be repaired.
IMPORTANT: Do not use replaced chain for other purposes such as lifting or pulling. Load chain may
break suddenly without visual deformation. For this reason, cut replaced chain into short lengths to
prevent use after disposal.
NOTE: A worn chain can be an indication of worn hoist components. For this reason, the hoist’s
chain guide, hook block and lift wheel should be examined for wear and replaced as necessary when
replacing worn chain.
Use of commercial or other manufactures’ chain and parts to repair OZ Electric Chain
Hoists may cause load loss. To avoid injury: Use only factory supplied replacement load
chain and parts. Chain and parts may look alike, but factory original chain and parts are
made of specic materials or processed to achieve specic properties.
A. CUTTING THE CHAIN:
The load chain is hardened and is difcult to cut. The following methods are recommended when cutting
a length of new chain from stock or cutting off worn chain. (Always wear eye protection when cutting the
load chain.)
1. Use a 7” minimum diameter by 1/8” thick abrasive wheel (or type recommended by your wheel
supplier) that will clear the adjacent links.
2. Use a grinder and nick the link on both sides, then secure the link with a vise and break off the
chain link with a hammer.
Cutting chain can produce ying particles.
To avoid health problems:
- Wear eye protection.
- Place shield over chain to prevent ying objects.
WARNING
WARNING

EN pg.10
C. LUBRICATION:
1. Load Chain: The full length of the chain must be lubricated, including where the chain passes
over the chain wheel(s). Ensure that the contact points between the links (I.E. the chain saddles) are
adequately lubricated. A small amount of lubrication will greatly increase the life of the load chain.
DO NOT allow the chain to run dry. Keep the chain clean and lubricate the chain at regular intervals
with Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R or equal lubricant. Normally, weekly lubrication and cleaning
is satisfactory, but under hot and dirty conditions, it may be necessary to clean the chain at least
once daily and lubricate the chain several times between cleanings. When lubricating the chain,
apply sufcient lubricant to obtain natural run-off and full coverage, especially in the interlink area.
Used motor oils contain known carcinogenic materials.
To avoid health problems: Never use used motor oils as a chain lubricant. Only use
Lubriplate Bar and Chain Oil 10-R as a lubricant for the load chain.
2. Gearbox: For ambient temperature of approx., 50 F to 122 F, a gear oil of Mm /S at 104 F, with
mild high-pressure additives should be used. Examples of the oil types that can be used are:
Din 51502 Clp 220
E.G. Bp Energol Gr-Xp 20
Esso Spartan Ep 220
Shell Omala Oil 220
Mobil gear 630
Aral Degol Bg 220
3. Important: The bottom block must not touch the oor; if necessary adjust the position of the
chain stop on the slack end of the chain.
The lubricants used for the OZ Electric Chain Hoist may contain hazardous materials that
mandate specic handling and disposal procedures.
To avoid contact and contamination: Handle and dispose of lubricants only as directed in
applicable material safety data sheets and in accordance with applicable local, state and
federal regulations.
D. TESTING:
Before using, all altered, repaired or used hoists that have not been operated for the previous 12 months
must be tested by the user for proper operation.
1. Test the unit without a load and then test the unit with a light load of 50 pounds (23 kg) times
the number of load chain supporting parts to be sure that the hoist operates properly and that the
brake holds the load when control is released.
2. Next test with a load of 125% of the rated capacity. In addition, hoists in which load sustaining
parts have been replaced, you should test the load with 125% of rated capacity by or under an
appointed person and a written report prepared for record purposes.
3. In accordance with the CMAA 78, it is required to have a 100% load test preformed every
four years.
The hoist must only be inspected and maintained by qualied, competent and trained
personnel.

These values are nominal since the dimension is not controlled to a tolerance. The “D” dimension
should be measured when the hook is new, this becomes a reference measurement. Subsequent
measurements are compared to this reference to make determinations about hook deformation/stretch.

C. INSPECTION CLASSIFICATION:
The inspection procedure for hoist in regular service is divided into two general classications based
upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals in turn are dependent upon
the nature of the critical components of the hoist and the degree of their exposure to wear, deterioration
or malfunction. The two general classications are designated as Frequent and Periodic, with respective
intervals between inspections as dened below.

EN pg.15
Initial Inspection: Prior to initial use, all new, altered or modied hoist shall be inspected by
a designated person to ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of this manual.
FREQUENT INSPECTIONS - Frequent inspections are visual examinations by the operator or other
designated personnel with interval per the following criteria.
1. Normal Service- Monthly
2. Heavy Service - Weekly to Monthly
3. Severe Service- Daily to Weekly
4. Special or Infrequent Service - As recommended by a qualied person before and after each
occurrence.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS - Periodic inspections are visual inspections by a designated person with
interval per the following criteria.
1. Normal Service - Yearly
2. Heavy Service- Semi-Annually
3. Severe Service - Quarterly
4. Special or Infrequent Service- As recommended by a qualied person before the rst occurrence.
D. FREQUENT INSPECTION:
Inspections should be made on a Frequent basis in accordance with Table 8-5, “Frequent Inspection.”
Included in these Frequent Inspections are observations made during operation for any defects or
damage that might appear between Periodic Inspections. Frequent Inspections shall be made by a
designated person to ensure that the hoist is maintained in safe working condition.
Table 8-5 Frequent Inspection
1. Check all functional operating mechanisms for maladjustment and unusual sounds.
2. Check the operation of the limit switch and associated components.
3. Check the hoist braking system for proper operation.
4. Check the hooks in accordance with ANSI/ASME B30.10.
5. Check the hook latch operation.
6. Check the Load Chain in accordance with Section 8B
7. Check the Load Chain reeving.
E. PERIODIC INSPECTION:
Inspections should be made on a Periodic basis in accordance with Table 8-6, “Periodic Inspection.”
Evaluation and resolution of the results of Periodic Inspections shall be made by a designated person to
ensure that the hoist is maintained in safe working condition.
Periodic Inspection: For inspections where load suspension parts of the hoist are
disassembled, a load test per ANSI/ASME B30.16 must be performed on the hoist after it is
re-assembled and prior to its return to service.
CAUTION
WARNING

EN pg.16
Table 8-6 Periodic Inspection
1. Complete the requirements of Frequent Inspection.
2. Check to ensure there is no evidence of loose bolts, nuts or rivets.
3. Check to ensure there is no evidence of damage or excessive wear of load and idler sheaves.
4. Check to ensure there is no evidence of damage to hook retaining nuts or collars and pins, and welds or rivets used to
secure the retaining members.
5. Check to ensure the warning label is properly attached to the hoist and legible.
6. Check to ensure the function labels on the pendant control stations are legible.
7. Check to ensure there is no evidence of worn, corroded, cracked or distorted parts such as load blocks, suspension
housing, chain attachments, clevises, yokes, suspension bolts, shafts, gears, bearings, pins and rollers.
8. Check to ensure there is no evidence of damage to the supporting structure or trolley, if used.
9. Check to ensure there is no evidence of damage to the end connections of the load chain.
10. Check to ensure there is no evidence of excessive wear on motor or load brake.
11. Check to ensure there is no electrical apparatus for signs of pitting or any deterioration of visible controller contacts.
F. OCCASIONALLY USED HOIST:
Hoists that are infrequently used shall be inspected as follows before placing the hoist in service:
1. Hoist idle more than one month, less than one year: Inspect per Frequent Inspection.
2. Hoist idle more than one year: Inspect per Periodic Inspection.
G. INSPECTION REPORTS:
Hoists that are infrequently used shall be inspected as follows before placing the hoist in service:
1. A long range chain inspection program should be established and should include records of an
examination of the chains that are removed from service. To create a relationship between visual
observation and actual condition of the chain.
2. Dated inspection reports and records should be maintained for the hoist Periodic Inspection
intervals. These records should be stored where they are available to personnel involved with the
inspection, maintenance or operation of the hoist.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Table 8-7 Troubleshooting Guide
Symptom Cause Remedy
Hoist will not
operate
Loss of power Check circuit breakers, switches, fuses and connections on power lines/
cable.
Wrong voltage or frequency Check voltage and frequency of power supply against the rating on the
nameplate of the motor.
Hoist overload Reduce load to within rated capacity of hoist.
Improper, loose or broken wire
in the hoist electrical system
Shut off power supply, check wiring connections on hoist control panel
and inside push button pendant.
Brush wear Inspect both motor brushes per Table 8-2 and replace if necessary.
Fuses burned out Replace fuses.
Motor burned out Replace motor frame/stator, shaft/rotor and any other damaged parts.
Hoist lifts but
will not lower
Faulty switch in pendant Check electrical continuity. Check electrical connections. Replace or
repair as needed.
Broken conductor in pendant
cord
Check the continuity for each conductor in the cable. If one is broken,
replace the entire cable.
Hoist lowers
but will not lift
Hoist overload Reduce load to within rated capacity of hoist.
Worn friction clutch Repair by a qualied person trained in the repair of hoists and proper
friction clutch adjustment procedures. Replace as needed.
Broken conductor in pendant
cord
Check the continuity for each conductor in the cable. If one is broken,
replace the entire cable.
Faulty switch in pendant Check electrical continuity. Check electrical connections. Replace or
