Periodic checking
and maintenance
WARNING! if the system is to be serviced, make sure the cord is not connected
to the power source.
1- From here on, a cycle refers to an operator lifting and lowering the load one time.
Periodically check refers to checking the lifting tackle every 100 cycles. It is highly
advisable to create log for a number of cycles in a determined period. Thus,
maintenances may be programmed by calculating either working time or elapsed time.
2- Periodically check the proper functioning of the limit switches of the lifting tackle. To
test, read below. When the lifting tackle moves up, a lever is moved up in an ascending
direction. The engine must stop (without a load.) When the lifting tackle goes down, it
moves the limit arm down. The engine must stop.
3- Periodically check the power supply and control wires.
4- Lubricate the steel wire and the pulley every 200 cycles.
5- Check the condition of the cable every 30
cycles. If the cable is damaged (see Figure
C), replace it immediately, according to the
technical data specifications.
6- Every 1000 cycles check if the captive
screws of the pulley and the hose clamps are
tight.

Periodic checking and maintenance
7- Every 1000 cycles, check if the hook and pulley are in working conditions.
8- Check that the emergency switch (kill switch) and the buttons are in working
conditions before using the lifting tackle.
9- Every 1000 cycles, check the engine system. If the engine has an abnormal sound,
or the lifting tackle is not able to support its rated capacity, it is possible that the
breaking system needs to be checked.
10- Replace damaged or worn parts and keep adequate maintenance logs.
11- Contact a service center for maintenance by qualified personnel.
