3. Check the bolted joints
• Check the bolted and mechanical connections.
• Check the connection with the hoist frame and the suspension part.
• Check the connection with the suspension part and the trolley, if applicable.
• Torque the bolts with a proper torque wrench. For more information, see chapter
Tightening torques for the chain hoist.
4. Check the electrical connections
• With the product disconnect OFF, check the proper electrical grounding of the product.
• Check that the connections of electrical devices comply with the wiring diagrams and meet
local requirements. In particular, check connections that affect the safety and controlling of
the equipment.
• Check the condition of wiring and connections.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Touching any part of the chain hoist or trolley which has no proper and sufficient
grounding can cause an electric shock. An electric shock could lead to death or
serious injury.
Make sure that the grounding wire of the power supply cable is always connected to a
suitable ground connection. The grounding wire of the power supply cable is either
green with a yellow stripe, or solid green.
Do not paint the trolley wheel running surfaces of the beam, as painting can affect the
grounding.
5. Check the chain
• Check that the chain has no damages from the transport and that it is not twisted.
• Check the condition of the chain stop at the idle end of the chain. Check the condition of
the chain stop fixation to the chain.
6. Check the hook
• Check the hook visually to ensure that it has no damages from the transport.
• Check that the hook safety latch is on the hook, is in good condition, and closes
automatically.
• Check that the hook forging rotates freely.
• Measure the dimension of the hook opening of the the hook and the suspension hook.
Note the dimensions for a follow-up as reference values for the hook wear measurement.
For instructions on the hook wear measurement, see chapter Measuring wear on the
hook.

Operaciones previas a la elevación
Comprobar que la carga está equilibrada y firmemente sujeta en los puntos de elevación. La
carga no debe poder deslizarse, resbalar ni desengancharse al quedar suspendida. Al empezar
