Testing And Maintenance - Imer Rio 100 Handbuch Für Bedienung, Wartung Und Ersatzteile

The conductors must be dimensioned in proportion to both the
operating current and their length to avoid voltage drops (Table
1). Do not use extension leads wound on drums.
- The power cable must be suitable for frequent handling and
have an abrasion-resistant sleeve (for example H07RN-F).
- Insert the plug into the machine and tighten the securing collar
(IP67 protection).
- The hoist is now ready for testing.
5. TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning. Testing must be carried out by qualified
personnel. Take all necessary safety precautions.
Warning. The hoist must be tested before use.
Before testing the hoist make sure that it has been correctly
installed.
1) Lower the unloaded rope to the lower loading position, and
check that at the end of its travel three turns of rope remain on
the drum.
2) No-load test. Apply a small load (20 kg) and run a complete
up/down cycle.
Test the up, down and emergency stop buttons, UP limit switch
operation, correct rope winding onto the drum and electric
motor brake operation.
3) Load test. Load the hoist with its maximum admissible load.
Run a complete up/down cycle to test the stability of the
supports and the motor brake.
After the test, check the support structure for failure and
slippage and recheck that support pipe is horizontal.
4) The hoist is fitted with a safety device which stops travel at
the fully raised position (ref. 5).
It is however good practice to stop the hoist before the safety
device activates by releasing the UP button.
When the rope is completely unwound, the operator standing
near the machine must check that the rope does not wind in the
wrong direction onto the drum.
When testing is completed, fill in the test report with the date,
installation check and signature (Table 2), along with any other
comments.
The test procedure described above, complete with
no-load (2) and load (3) tests, must be performed
every time the machine is installed.
6. SAFETY WARNINGS AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1) Do not lift weights exceeding the capacity of the
hoist.
2) Do not allow anyone to stand underneath
suspended loads.
3) Do not attempt to raise loads that are anchored
to the ground (e.g. buried posts, plinths, etc.).
4) Make sure that the load is correctly attached to
the hook on the hoist. Always close the safety catch.
5) All required accessories (belts, ropes, slings, etc.)
attached to the load must be of a certified and
approved type. The maximum capacity must be
reduced by the weight of these accessories.
6) Make sure that no part of the load comes
detached during lifting.
7) Make sure that the load rests firmly on the ground
before releasing it from the hook.
8) Do not release a suspended load using
accessories that permit instantaneous release, or
by cutting the sling.
9) Keep hands and other parts of the body well
clear of the drum during operation to avoid the
risk of them getting caught in the winding rope
and causing serious injury.
10) Keep hands and other parts of the body well
clear of the counterweight during lifting to avoid
the risk of crushing against the stop lever.
11) Do not use the machine in adverse weather
conditions (strong wind or storms) as the load is
not guided.
IMER INTERNATIONAL S.p.A.
RIO 100
When operation is resumed after an extended period of disuse
(e.g. overnight), the entire machine must be tested under no-
load conditions before starting (as described in section 5,
point 2).

7. TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

Repairs must be done by qualified personnel or by IMER
Technical Service.
Use only IMER original spare parts.
7.1 WIRE ROPE
Only use new ropes as specified below, complete with certifi-
cate of conformity and identification.
External diameter:
Type:
Direction of lay:
Strand strength:
Minimum breaking strain:
Length:
Surface treatment:
The IMER reference code is given in the spare parts table.

12) The control position and lighting conditions
must ensure complete visibility of the load during
its entire travel.
13) Check that all guards are in place.
14) During operation, check that the rope winds on
correctly, one turn at a time, without slack or overlay
which might damage it. If not, unwind the rope,
then rewind it correctly under tension.
15) Make sure that the lifting run is free from
obstacles and that no one can lean out from
intermediate floors.
16) Cordon off the ground loading area to prevent
persons from entering during lifting.
17) Keep children away from the hoist.
18) Do not allow unauthorised persons access to
the hoist while it is not being used.
19) Do not use the hoist for pulling loads obliquely
(i.e. more than 5° away from vertical axis).
20) Do not pull on the control panel to turn the
hoist on its hinges.
21) Do not leave suspended loads unattended. Raise
the load, or lower and unload it.
22) Load lifting or lowering operations should be
carried out in such a way as to minimise dangerous
sideways and vertical movements.
23) Do not allow the load to start to spin while it is
being raised or lowered, as this could cause the
rope to break.
24) Before leaving the hoist unattended, remove
the load, completely wind the rope onto the drum
and disconnect the electric power plug.
Warning. Only carry out maintenance with the
machine switched off, unloaded and disconnected
from the mains.
Check the motor brake every 6/7 days.
Ensure that the notices and inscriptions on the
machine are prominently displayed and legible.
Keep the machine clean of dirt.
Check the operation of the UP position limit switch
at the start of each work shift.
Check the electrical cable at the start of every work
cycle for accidental damage.
