3 INITIAL START-UP
m
WARNING: Before connecting power to hoist, check all “motion” buttons on pendant
control assembly to make sure that they operate freely without binding or sticking. Check
pendant cable and strain relief connection to ensure that they are not damaged.
3.1 General
Initial start-up procedures are as follows:
Read all attached WARNING tags and placards affixed to hoist.
Oil load chain generously over entire length of chain.
Make sure that load chain is not twisted. If so, untwist load chain before using.
Make sure fall stop is placed at least 6” [150 mm] from last chain link on free end.
Install chain container.
If furnished, make sure that trolley wheels have proper spacing in relation to beam flange. See
appropriate trolley manual for details.
Check direction of hook travel to make certain that it corresponds to respective control button that is
depressed. That is, does hook travel “UP” when UP BUTTON is depressed? If OK, go to section 3.3. If
not, proceed to section 3.2 for correcting direction of travel.
3.2 Correcting the Direction of Hook Travel
m
WARNING: DO NOT change control leads in pushbutton enclosure or at motor relays. DO
NOT change nameplates on pushbutton assembly. The upper/lower safety limit switch is
wired in series with “UP” control circuit as furnished from factory. Changing pushbutton
control leads or nameplates will prevent the upper safety travel limit switch from functioning
properly.
Reversing any two power leads of a three-phase AC motor will reverse the direction of rotation.
Reverse any two leads of a three-phase power at the main power source or at connections to motor.
Do not change internal wiring of hoist.
After changing two of the main power leads, recheck direction of rotation. Press “UP” button only. If
hook travel goes in “UP” direction, proceed to section 3.3. If not, redo section 3.2.

drift more than 1.0 inch [25mm]. If so, adjust brake as described in Section 6.3 of this manual.
Run empty load block down to check that fall stop (located on free end of load chain) makes proper
contact with upper / lower travel safety limit switch and that limit switch functions properly.
Run empty load block up to check that load block makes proper contact with upper / lower travel safety
limit switch and that limit switch functions properly.
Run empty load block up and down several times while checking for proper tracking of load chain.
3.4 Operational Checks – With Load
After completion of no-load operational tests, the user / owner should perform a full load test even though
each complete hoist is load tested at factory.
Lift a near capacity load about one (1) foot [30cm] above floor level. Check that the brake holds load.
Also, check stopping capability of brake when lifting to a stop and lowering to a stop.
Move trolley the full length of monorail or crane beam. Check for any binding of trolley wheels on flange
and/or interference at splice joints, hanger connections / bolts, etc.
Check contact with stops. Contact with stops SHALL only be made with trolley bumpers. Stops that are
designed to make contact with wheels SHALL NOT be used.

5.2 Installation of Swivel Trolley
The service life of the trolley depends upon the way it is installed. The instructions in this manual must be
followed carefully for the installation, use and maintenance of the hoist. Any use contrary to these
instructions can be dangerous. Do not use hoist until this manual has been fully read and understood.
Always keep this manual near the hoist, available to the operator and the person in charge of maintenance.
Make sure that the safety rules are followed (harness, clearance of work areas, posting of instructions to be
followed in the area, etc.).
The Trolley can be mounted on any type of standard profile (see: setting of the flange width).
NOTE: Check the width of the runaway rail and adapt the spacing of the flanges of the trolley as
indicated by the tables.
Make sure:
That the profile is secured.
That the profile is suitable to the loads to be supported.
That the dimensions are compatible with the trolley that is to be installed.
That the electrical characteristics of the mains network conform to those of the motor.
Carry out:
1 – Disassembly of the trolley:
Remove the side plate on the counterweight side.
Position the trolley on the beam.
Refit the side plate.
(see: Tightening torques)
2 – Without disassembly of the trolley:
Install the trolley on the profile, by the end.
Fit the travel limit stops (not provided) at the end of the runway.
Check that the nuts are correctly tightened.
(see: Tightening torques)
After these checks, perform the following test with care:
1. Drive in one direction with the slow speed for a few seconds.
2. Accelerate up to the high speed and keep the high speed for 5-10 seconds.
3. Follow the same procedure in the other direction.
4. If the trolley drives in the wrong direction, swap the cables (blue and white) of the motor or the wires on
D1 and D2.
5. Check the function of the slow down and end limit switches.
