2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
• The force marked on the hoist is the maximum load that it can lift.
• Check that there is no cause of overload such as adhesion to the ground, suction,
jamming.
• Never lift a load that is not vertical and never swing the load.
• Do not fatigue the button box cable by unnecessary or exaggerated torsion; the
conductor wires could break.
• Do not lift by pressing repeatedly on the buttons; this would overheat the motor.
• The hoist must be used in equipment with FEM (European Handling Federation)
marking.
• No mechanical or electrical modification or adaptation shall be made without the
prior written permission of the plant, otherwise the guarantee will no longer be valid.
• A periodic maintenance check is necessary (at least once every year).
• In accordance with the regulations, the user must set up an inspection book in which
all work and inspections made on the hoist shall be entered (see FEM rule 9.755).
• Regularly check the position of the belt attachment wedge in the fixed point, and that
there are at least three belt turns around the drum shaft beyond the lower limit switch
(see § 5-4)

5.2 Connection to the network
Before connection the hoist to the network, check that the voltage marked on the lifting
and translation motor name plates matches the mains voltage.
The power supply must be provided through cables with a sufficiently large cross-
section and must be protected by fuses (see table below for calibration).
An isolating switch must be installed close to the hoist.

5.3 Mounting position of the travelling machinery
Travelling machinery unit is to be mounted so that the electric box is on the side of the motor
and connecting cables are pointing downwards (see picture above).
Different mounting position than pictured above will reduce the cooling of electric box. As a
result, inverter may overheat and damage.
Assembling the travelling machinery unit
Ensure that the working area is safe and the machine cannot be started accidentally when making the
assembly work. Be sure to switch off securely the electric power from the device to avoid the electric
shock and sudden start.
Align the machinery unit with the teeth of the driving wheel and push it against the face surface.
Rotate the machinery to a correct angle to align the fixing bolt holes. Note that the motor brake
prevents the free rotation. For enabling the rotation release the brake (see the instructions of the
motor) or jack the wheel up from the rail.
Turn the fixing bolts loosely to their places not forgetting the washers.
If the wheel was jacked up, lower it down before tightening the fixing bolts.
Wheel must lie on the track when the screws are tightened to ensure that no excessive
loads are directed towards the secondary shaft.
Tighten the fixing bolts to a torque. Recommended tightening torque for M8 bolt is 23 Nm.
Connect the power supply plug to the motor.
Start-up procedure
Make sure that the conditions at the operating site correspond to the operating conditions for which
the travelling machinery is designed (including indoor/outdoor use, ambient temperature/radiance
temperature, wind, dust, splashing, snow, water, handling hazardous materials, fire risk, etc).
Check that the supply voltage and frequency are suitable for the travelling machinery.
Check the correct direction of rotation. Verify that the direction corresponds to the control signal. In
multi-motor systems check that all the units function correctly in series. If any of the motors runs
incorrectly the electric connections have to be checked and corrected by a professional electrician
and/or authorized serviceman. Refer to the electric instructions and electric wiring diagram for further
measures.
Be prepared for equipment moving in the wrong direction when testing.
Check the function of the brake. The brake is factory set and normally ready to be taken into use.
Make an audible check of the running sound of the machinery. Very loud growling sound indicates an
incorrect connection of the motor. This must be corrected immediately. A regular distinct clatter sound
is an indication of a broken bearing and this must be corrected by an authorized serviceman.
Check the vibration during the run by hand. The cause of the excessive vibration must be identified. If
the machinery causes the fault it must be checked by an authorized serviceman.
Check the running temperature during the long-term operation. The temperature rise of the F-class
motor must not exceed 100°C. If the temperature rise is too high the motor may run faulty, the cooling
does not function correctly or the motor is overloaded. The reason must be identified and corrected by
an authorized serviceman.

Ensure that the test drive and commissioning inspection have been properly carried out and that the
hand-over log has been properly completed.
Ensure that any safety devices bypassed for testing purposes are restored to full operational status.
5.4 Adjustment of top and bottom limit switches
Adjustment of bottom limit switch:
Press the lower button, put the hook to the required low level c. Rotate cam f in the
direction of arrow D until contact g is triggered.
Check that there are still at least three complete turns on the drum spindle.
This will be true if the belt is at the outside diameter of washer c.
Adjusting the top limit switch :
The top limit switch is adjusted in the factory.
However, you may need to adjust it (for example if you replace the belt).
- Press on the “lift” button, change to low speed when the pulley block reaches the high
position, and continue to rise until the lower pulley block touches the bottom of the upper
block. Rotate cam g in the direction of the arrow M until contact i is triggered.
