2. Check that the load chain has not been
subjected to any torsion when setting up,
in particular for the two­strand version (see
EN
fig.4).
3. Without a load, check the "Lifting" and
"Lowering" functions (see §4.3).
4. When using the hoist with a push
suspension trolley, without load, check that
the trolley moves freely. If using a geared
suspension trolley, without load, check the
direction of movement by pulling on the
trolley hand chain. The movement should
be carried out on a strictly horizontal plane.
After successfully completing these checks,
place the load in position and ensure:
1. the anchoring accessory of the load sits
fully in the hook and does not prevent the
catch from closing correctly (see figs. 2
and 3).
2. the load on the hoist is free to align itself
with the machine's anchoring point.
4. OPERATION
4.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Tralift™ Cleantech hoist is actuated using
the hand chain which you must pull to lift or
lower the load applied.
4.2 INSTALLING THE LIFTING HOOK ON
THE LOAD RIGGING POINT
If installation of the lifting hook requires
adjustment of the chain length, proceed as
follows:
1. Make sure that there is no load on the
chain.
2. Secure the lifting hook to the load.
3. Slightly tension the load chain by pulling on
the RH strand of the hand chain.
4.3 MANEUVERING THE HOIST
Facing the load pulley, proceed as follows to
lift or lower the load:
4.3.1 To lift the load, pull on the RH strand
of the hand chain
4.3.2 To lower the load, pull on the LH
strand of the hand chain
Do not operate the chain too quickly as this
can result in jolts when lifting or lowering a
load. The hand chain should be pulled by a
smooth, regular action to avoid any swinging
of the load.
4.4 IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS
When taking the Tralift™ Cleantech hoist out
of service ensure that there is no load applied
and that the load chain is slack enough to
enable the bottom hook to be removed from
the load.
5. STORAGE
It is recommended that the hoist be stored
hanging so that the load chain does not
become tangled. Store the hoist in a dry and
weather­proof area. Before storage clean the
load chain with a brush and lubricate with
food grade grease.
6. LOAD CHAIN
The good condition of the load chain is a
guarantee of safety and at the same time the
good operation of the hoist. It is therefore
necessary to constantly be aware of the
condition of the load chain and to clean and
lubricate with food grade grease at regular
intervals.
The load chain must be examined daily by
a com petent person when the hoist is being
used.
Do not expose the load chain to excess tem­
peratures or abrasive or chemical materials.
Protect the chain against all possible damage
such as from welding arcs.
7. MAINTENANCE
Periodically, or at least once every year, and
in accordance with the safety regulations
applicable in the country of use, the hoist
must be inspected and tested with load by
qualified maintenance personnel.
Periodically, and in particular following
intensive use, lubricate with food grade
lubricant type the mechanical parts, including
the pulley block. The components of the brake
and friction limiter must never be lubricated
and should always be kept clean and dry.
Regularly check the condition of the hooks.
If the deformation between the hook opening
indicators is greater than 2 mm, (Fig. 6,
distance "M" given in table of §2 Technical
specifications), the unit must be considered
as damaged and removed from service.
If any damage is observed, return the Tralift™
Cleantech hoist to a TRACTEL
repair workshop.
