5. TESTING
personnel only. 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 by pres-
sing the down button, 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 check that the
Test the up, down and emergency stop buttons and check that
the up limit switch and the electric motor brake work correctly and
that the cable winds correctly onto the drum.
3) Load test. Load the hoist with the maximum allowable load.
and the motor brake.
After the test, check the support structure for failure and slippage
and recheck the horizontal alignment of the drum (using a level
fully raised position (9).
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.
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) Never lift loads exceeding the capacity of the elevator.
- 2) Never allow persons to remain below suspended
loads.
- 3) Never try to lift loads anchored to the ground (e.g.
embedded posts, plinths, etch.).
- 4) Ensure that the load is securely connected to the
- 5) If the load requires accessories to be attached to be
ropes, slings, etc.). The weight of these accessories must be
subtracted from the maximum capacity.
- 6) Ensure that no part of the load protrudes during the
lifting phases.
- 7) Before releasing the load, ensure that it is in a stable
position.
- 8) A suspended load must never be detached to cause
sudden release or by cutting the slings, causing a backlash
movement of the entire structure.
- 9) Never move hands or parts of the body near the drum
during operation, as this constitutes a risk of entrapment in
the ropes unwinding, with the risk of serious accidents.
- 10) Never move hands or parts of the body near the
counterweight during the ascent phase, as this constitutes a
risk of crushing on contact with the limit switch lever.
- 11) Avoid use in adverse weather conditions (winds
or storms) as the load is not guided. Maximum wind speed
must not exceed 12.5 m/s.
- 12) The control position and lighting conditions must
ensure perfect visibility of the load throughout travel.
-
- 14) During use, check that the rope unwinds correctly,
turn on turn, without slackening or twisting, which can cause
damage to the rope. If this occurs, unwind the rope and rewind
correctly keeping the rope tensioned at all times.
- 15) Ensure that the travel and work area is free of ob-
stacles throughout the height and take necessary precautions
- 16) Delimit the lower load area to prevent persons from
being present during lifting.
- 17) Keep children at a safe distance from the elevator.
- 18) When the elevator is not in use, do not allow unau-
thorised personnel access or operation.
- 19) Use of the elevator for oblique tractions is strictly
prohibited (over 5° with respect to vertical angle).
- 20) Never rotate the elevator on the pins by pulling the
pendant control; it must always be rotated manually from
the frame.
- 21) Do not leave a suspended load unattended. Raise
or lower it and unload it.
- 22) During lifting or lowering, never allow the load to
turn as this may cause the rope to break.
- 23) Before leaving the elevator unattended, remove the
load, wind the rope completely onto the drum, and detach the
power plug from the mains.
- 24) When a load is to be raised or lowered, this must
be done in such a way as to minimise dangerous sideways
and vertical movements.
- 25) Protect the winch against the rain.
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. CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE

- Warning! All maintenance work must be carried out
with the machine switched off, unloaded and disconnected
from the mains.
technical service.
- Use only IMER original spares.
- Check the motor brake every 6-7 days.
- Make sure that the notices and inscriptions on the
machine remain legible.
- Keep the machine clean of dirt.
- Check operation of the UP limit switches at the start
of every work shift.
- Check the electrical cable for accidental damage at the
start of every work shift.
