Safety advice

1.1
Advice for the use of electric chain hoists
Electric chain hoists are designed to lift and to lower loads vertically and to travel horizontally with those lifted loads (with
trolleys). Every other mode of use is prohibited and the risk is on the operators responsibility. Especially if carrying out
prohibited operations (see topic 6.1) you can get into life trouble.
Please ask the producer for any special mode of use in advance.
Using the hoist to carry people is strictly prohibited!
The modern design of the LIFTKET hoists guarantees safety and economic use.
The patented safety clutch system is located between motor and brake.
This enables the brake to hold the load without any power transmitted by the clutch. The brake acts directly onto the load
via the gearbox by using form fit elements only. The friction clutch does not transmit any load while brake is on.
Before first use please make sure, that all electrical wires are connected safely, that all wires are without
damages and that the whole equipment could be switched off by a main switch.
It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure that all suspension points of the hoist are calculated
to withstand the dynamic forces caused by the lifting equipment safely.
The chain hoist is usable when it is safely suspended and the outgoing chain can leave the hoist safely
in the relevant direction.
Therefore the container for the dead end of the chain outside the hoist must be big enough to allow the
chain coming out. If not, the chain can be trapped inside the hoist and can brake the casing of the hoist.
For use of the hoist in an aggressive environment please consult the producer.
For use in an aggressive environment, in may be necessary to use components made from different materials
The following safety advice is issued for both the maintenance and the operation of the hoist and for most standard uses. It may not necessarily cover all situations. If you are in any doubt, please contact your dealer. This manual will tell you how to operate the hoist and how to handle its suspension or its loads safely.
It is compulsory to take care of the following safety advice. They may not be complete for each mode of use,
please ask the producer or your local service partner if any question came up.

You should keep this manual clean, complete and in a legible condition.
Neither the manufacturer nor dealer accept responsibility for any damage or lack of functionality due to the following:
o Carrying out inappropriate operations for an electric chain hoist
o Product modification without the express authorization of the manufacturer
o Inappropriate operation of the hoist
o Operational errors
o Failure to use the product as instructed in the manual
1.2
European Regulations
The basis for the assembly, first use, certification and maintenance of electric chain hoists are within Germany and within
the area of the European community, the following regulations, and all recommendations of this manual.
Local legislation and directives for different countries may apply in addition to the regulations as stated in this manual
(German/European).
Please pay particular attention to the rules for the prevention of accidents and the statutory regulations

Please pay attention to chapter 6 and 6.1 especially!
Maintenance work for hoisting equipment has to be carried out by trained and authorised people only.
The main switch has to be switched off before.
Authorised people have to have a theoretical training as well as experience in the field of cranes and
hoists. They have to have an excellent know-how of the special regulations and must be able to decide whether the lifting
equipment is in a safe working condition or not. They have to fill in the forms of any maintenance work, repair work or
test (for example: maintenance work on brake or clutch).
The hoist is allowed to be used only by people who have complete knowledge of this manual, the manual should always
be available showing who has signed the form on the rear cover of this brochure.
1.3
Spare parts
Only original spare parts must be used. The producers guarantee is given for those spare parts only.
The producer cannot be held responsible for failures and breakdowns caused by use of non-original or wrong spare
parts.

Electric connections
Electrical installation must comply with DIN EN 60204-32 or relevant national regulations.
After having completed the installation, checks have to be executed in accordance with the European
Regulation DIN EN 60 20432, section 19 or national regulations.
Details of the control can be seen in the wiring diagram. The electric installation complies with the currently
valid DIN EN 60 204 part 32.
3.2.1
Mains power
The mains supply (main incoming line conductor) must be able to be disconnected at all poles by means of a mains
switch (in accordance with DIN EN 60 204-32 section 5.3).
Works on the electric installation may only be carried out by trained specialists and equipment must first be disconnected
from the power mains supply.

Check if the main voltage complies with that specified on the type plate.
Connect mains supply lines and control line in accordance with wiring diagram.
The L1, L2, L3 and PE terminals for the main connection are located under the gear cap. Line 3 + PE
(minimum cross section 1,5 mm2) are necessary for the connection.
After connecting, press button for lifting. If the load moves downwards, interchange the L1 and L2 supply
cores. (The mains supply must be turned off!).
If the hoist is equipped with an emergency stop (according to DIN EN 60 204 32) it will be a read mushroom shaped button on the pendant.
The cessation of the use of the hoist by the use of the emergency stop does not constitute the correct shutting down of
the equipment.
The connection terminal for the control cable and the electric trolley are located under the gear cap.
The polarity of the supply network phases must be set for clockwise (right turning) rotation. If they are incorrectly set, the
hoist will operate in reverse and will lift when the Down button on the controller is pressed. Please ask your electrician
to set the power supply correctly. The polarity of the supply network is correct if the hoist will lift the load upwards when
the Up button is pressed.

5 Tests
Use of the electric chain hoist is possible in accordance with: Accident prevention regulations for
Winches, lifting and pulling equipment BGV D8 (VBG 8) (according to German law)
Cranes
BGV D6 (VBG 9) (according to German law)
5.1
Test when used according to BGV D8, section 23 (VBG 8, section 23)
A trained specialist must test the equipment before starting operation for the first time and after extensive alterations.
5.2
Test when used according to BGV D6, section 25 (VBG 9, section 25)
An authorised person must test the cranes before starting operation for the first time and after extensive alterations. The
electric chain hoists are type approved.
5.3
Regular tests
A trained specialist must test the equipment, cranes and supporting structures once a year. It may be necessary to
carry out tests more often if the operating conditions are very harsh, that means for example high percentage of use
with full load, dusty or aggressive environment, high duty rate, high number of operation cycles.
Only an authorised person appointed by the BG - associations and experts from the Technical Control Association
(TV) are considered qualified to test cranes.
Trained specialists are highly qualified specialist personnel or the manufacturers after-sales service personnel.
6

Operations
The load may only be moved if it is slung securely and no person is standing near enough to be at risk and when the
operator has received an all clear signal from the person slinging the load (BGV D8, section 29.1, paragraph 1 (VBG
8, section 29.1, paragraph 1)).
All electric chain hoists are suitable for an environment temperature of 20Celsius to +40Celsius as standard.
For use at higher environmental temperature the duty rate has to be reduced correspondingly.
The standard protection class is IP 54.
The motors are manufactured according to the requirement of Insulation Class F.
The load must be placed vertically under the electric hoist before lifting.
The motion directions are indicated with symbols on the control buttons.
Do not turn the chain over edges.
Only the load, the hook block or the hook tackle may be pulled to move an electric chain hoist horizontally with manual travelling gear.
Consult the manufacturer or supplier, if the hoist is to be used in an aggressive environment (for instance acid or
alkaline or dusty environment or to transport inflammable or other dangerous loads).
Dont lower the double fall hook if the chain gets slack.
Repair work has to be done only if mains supply is switched off and no load is suspended on the hook.
After switching off the emergency stop the reason for this failure has to be found out by trained people and the hoist
can only be used if all possible failures are removed.
Lifting the load from the ground has to be done with the lowest possible speed. Before doing this slack sling chains
or ropes have to be tightened carefully.
Cranes in outdoor use require a roof for the park position.
The S.W.L. of the trolley must be equal to the S.W.L. shown on the load-hoisting accessory.
The second chain fall must only be fitted with the fork supplied by the manufacturer.
If the hoist travelling girder is located <2,5 m above ground or platform level it is prohibited to grasp into the travelling area. Grasping into the chain during operation is prohibited.
Prevent oil and grease from getting access to brake and clutch linings

Maintenance
Trained specialists must carry out all maintenance work.
The maintenance table 7 lists the parts and functions to be tested and the necessary maintenance
work. Defects must be rectified immediately by a trained specialist. Defects have to be reported immediately to the owner. The owner is responsible to get defects remedied by a trained specialist.
Maintenance work may only be carried out if the electric chain hoist is not loaded and the main
switch is switched off so that the power supply is disconnected.
Shorten the periods between maintenance works in very harsh operating conditions, e.g. multi-shift
operation, high number of switching actuation, poor environmental conditions.

Checking for wear


Check suspension hook and load hook for deformation (measure punch spacing) and cracks.
The chain sprocket in the hook block must be replaced if the running surface is worn by about 1 mm.
Replace rubber bumper if worn!
7.1
Maintenance and checks
(note point 1.2 too!)

7.2.2
Electric control of the brake
Mode of functioning
The disk brake is supplied through a rectifier circuit. It operates according to the fail safe principle. If there is a power
failure, the brake acts automatically so that the load is held securely in every position. To shorten the braking time the
brake is operated in a DC circuit. The different methods of connection in direct control and low voltage control can be
seen in the respective wiring diagram.

table 10: troubleshooting and fault elimination
If rectifier defects occur repeatedly, brake shall be replaced even if no winding short circuit can be detected. Defect may
occur only in warm operating condition.
7.2.4
Checking brake functioning
When breaking the nominal load during the lowering process, the load should be broken after approx.
two chain link lengths and the load should be in a jerking manner.
7.3
Safety clutch
The sliding clutch is located between the lifting motor and main pinion shaft and transmits the torque.
The secondary function is that it limits the transmission of torque depending on the setting, hence preventing overloading of the unit and/or suspension points.
The safety clutch acts as an emergency stop should the hook or end stop limiter run against the hoist body in top/bottom
positions. This must only be used as a genuine emergency limit and must not be employed as a part of the regular running of the hoist. The clutch unit acts as a sliding clutch with asbestos free linings. It is easily adjustable and accessible
and the low wearing lining material doesnt require re-adjustment under normal operational circumstances.

7.3.2
Adjustment of the sliding clutch
Adjusting the sliding clutch should only be carried out by a trained or competent person.
1. Test load =1,1 times the nominal/rated load and for maintenance work, the test load is the nominal load.
2. Switch on the chain hoist and check that the test load can be lifted or if the spring balance shows approximately
1.35 times the nominal load (setting of a spring balance is depending on the hoisting speed, higher hoisting speed
will require a higher setting based on the spring balance value)
3. Lower the test load to the floor
4. Decrease or increase clutch torque until the test load is just lifted or the spring balance shows a required value
5. Adjusting the clutch torque as follows:
A
Loosen and remove cap for gear cover (12)
B
Using a spanner hold the retaining self-locking nut (11)
C
Using a second spanner, loosen/tighten the adjusting nut (9) until the required test
load is just lifted or the spring balance shows the required value.
D
Re check clutch torque by lifting the test load.

21

10 11
12

The sliding clutch is set with the test load by the manufacturer.
After changing or replacing the lift motor, it is not necessary to
reset the clutch.
A test with nominal load is required. The original distance between the end of the tension rod and the pressure plate of the
coupling is marked on a tag on the brake coil.

figure 27: Adjustment of the sliding clutch


Note: The clutch has to be adjusted in such a manner, that the nominal load can be lifted safely under all operating conditions.
The sliding clutch acts as an direct actuated lifting load limiter acc. to DIN EN 14492, part 5.2.2.2.1. With hanging load on
the hook, the correctly adjusted clutch shall start to slide at approx. 130 % of the nominal load. Deviations may occur due
to very high or very low lifting speeds.
7.4
Load chain
Hoist chains are means of carrying which require official approval. Therefore, it is important to observe the guidelines
issued by the trade associations centre for accident prevention with regard to round steel chains in hoisting operation,
the guidelines for general inspection and test specifications in accordance with DIN 685, section 5, Nov 1981, the accident prevention regulations in BGV D8 (VBG 8 of April 1997 and in BGV D6 (VBG 9 of April 2001) (valid for Germany) or
equivalent regulations in the respective country.
7.4.1
Lubricating the load chain before starting and during operation
The links along the entire length of the load chain must be lubricated with penetrating gear lubricant oil
before starting operation for the first time and during operation with no load. Subsequent lubrication,
whereby the links must be cleaned first, depends on the degree of use and the operating conditions.
A dry-film lubricant, e.g. lubricating varnish, graphite powder, should be used when ambient influences
are conducive to wear (sand, emery).
7.4.2
Testing of wear of the load chain
The continuous monitoring of the load chain is compulsory according to DIN 685 section 5 and the accident prevention regulations in BGV D8, section 27 (VBG 8, section 27). The load chain must be tested
before starting operation and after approx. 200 operating hours or 10,000 load cycles under normal
conditions or more often under harsh and severe conditions.
Testing must cover checking links, particularly at their points of contact, for wear, cracks, deformation
and other damages.
The chain must be replaced:
if the nominal thickness at the points of contact is reduced by 10%,
if the chain or a link is elongated by 5 %, or an eleven links piece of chain is elongated by 2%
if the links are rigid
The chain guide and hold-down must also be replaced with the chain.
Caution! Replacement of chain shall only be done if spare parts are obtained from the manufacturer or
his approved service agent.

slip off)
4. Put the lifting motor on the gear casing (15). The motor cables must be placed in the provided gap in the gear casing and sealed with a rubber profile. Prevent the cables from damage or pinching. When attaching the clutch hub
(19), it may be necessary to rotate the hub gently until the theeth engage.
5. Tighten the 4 screws of the motor flange using spring washers.
6. Connect the motor wires to the distribution panel (12) at the control plate using the wiring diagram. Check that the
wires are not pinched or obstructed and that they are well sealed.
Following the assembly of the control and fan covers, check the rotation orientation of the
motor. If the direction shown on the buttons is reversed, change the positions of motor
wires L1 and L2.

8 Duty rate of an electric chain hoist


The duty rate and the number of operating cycles in one
hour must not be higher than as shown on the specification
plate of the hoist or in a technical data table. (European
regulation FEM 9.682).

The duty rate, expressed as the cyclic duration factor


(c.d.f.) is the ratio of
running time to running time + period of rest
formula:
c.d.f. =

running time x 100%


running time + period of rest
t in min

The duty rate is limited by the permissible temperature of the windings in the lifting motor. The running time is depending
on the necessary lifting height, lifting speed of the electric chain hoist and the number of lifting motions required for a particular transport procedure (unloading trucks, feeding machines). It is difficult in practice to take note of the duty rate
during the lifting operation. We, therefore, give the following practical guidelines:

12 m / min lifting speed
Approx. 40 minutes operation without break is possible.
After 40 minutes of running time, 1.5 minutes break for each minute of operating time must be taken (i.e. 1.5 times the
operating time). This break is usually necessary for slinging and taking off loads.
Caution! Cooling periods are imperative for extreme lifting heights (from 10 metres on). Low lifting
speed should only be used for precise lowering and lifting. It is not suitable when greater lifting
heights shall be driven through.
Option!: To protect the lifting motor a thermal overload device is offered as an option (24 Volts low
voltage control is required!).

11.3
Lubrication of the trolleys
The geared wheels of the electric trolley have to be lubricated with grease once a year or after 10,000
driving cycles, if in heavy use the interval has to be shortened.

12 Disposal
After the hoist or its components are taken finally out of operation the parts have to be disposed in accordance to the
laws of environmental protection. Metals, rubber, plastics have to be disposed or recycled separately.

offset at 90 while the two halves of the coupling are
turned simultaneously.
2.1.3.1 Axial measurements
Compensate for differences by placing steel plates
underneath. Do not exceed an inaccuracy of 0.03mm with
a given measurement diameter of 200mm.
2.1.3.2 Radial measurement
Compensate for differences by moving or by placing steel
plates underneath so that a residual inaccuracy of 0.03mm
is not exceeded. The axial clearance between the two
halves of the coupling (measurement "E") should be set in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

2.2.5 Star/Delta start


To prevent unacceptable current surges on change-over
and instantaneous surges the change-over from star to
delta should only be carried out when the starting current
of the delta level has faded.

2.2.6 Motor protection


Connect the built-in semiconductor temperature sensor
with the reactor as per the switching plan. Any necessary
circuit checks should be carried out with a measuring
bridge (max. 5V) only.
To achieve complete thermal protection for the motors a
thermal time element must be provided in addition as an
overload protection. Fuses by themselves usually only
protect the mains supply and not the motor.

3. Maintenance

For electrical operating appliances for use in industrial heavy current facilities.
Operating instructions
This Information Sheet with warnings shall apply in addition to the
operating instructions specific to the product and for safety reasons
particular attention must be paid to it.

Danger
The electrical machines and/or appliances are operating
appliances for use in industrial heavy current facilities.
When being operated, the appliances have dangerous live
parts, and in some cases moving or rotating parts as well.
They can therefore cause serious injury or damage, e.g. if
the necessary coverings are removed without cause, if they
are operated in an improper manner, if they are incorrectly
operated or if they are insufficiently maintained.

Those responsible for safety in the plant must therefore guarantee:


- that only qualified persons work with the machines and/or
appliances;
- that the operating instructions and other documentation delivered
with the machine/appliance are available to such persons at all
times and that they are obliged to observe the regulations
contained therein;
- that unqualified persons are forbidden to work at or near the
machines/appliances.
Qualified persons are persons who, by reason of their training,
experience and instructions, as well as their knowledge of the
relevant standards, regulations, accident prevention regulations and
operating relations have been empowered by the person(s)
responsible for plant safety to carry out the necessary work and are
able to recognize and avoid possible dangers (definitions for skilled
workers - cf. DIN VDE 0105 or DIN VDE 0100-300 as well).
Among other things, acquaintance with first-aid measures
and the local rescue devices is required. The prohibition on
the employment of unqualified personnel in work on heavy
current facilities is regulated, for example, in DIN
VDE0105 or DIN VDE 0100-300.

Safety information
for electrical operating appliances for use in industrial heavy current facilities
Operating instructions
WARNING

It is assumed that the basic


planning work in the facility, as well as all
work
regarding
transport,
assembly,
installation, starting up, maintenance and
repairs will be carried out by qualified
personnel and/or checked by the responsible
skilled staff.

This Information Sheet with warnings shall apply in addition to the


operating instructions specific to the product and for safety reasons
particular attention must be paid to it.

DANGER
The electrical machines and/or appliances are
operating appliances for use in industrial heavy
current facilities. When being operated, the appliances
have dangerous live parts, and in some cases moving
or rotating parts as well. They can therefore cause
serious injury or damage, e.g. if the necessary
coverings are removed without cause, if they are
operated in an improper manner, if they are
incorrectly operated or if they are insufficiently
maintained.

Those responsible for safety in the plant must therefore guarantee:


that only qualified persons work with the machines and/or
appliances;
that the operating instructions and other documentation
delivered with the machine/appliance are available to such
persons at all times and that they are obliged to observe the
regulations contained therein;
that unqualified persons are forbidden to work at or near the
machines/appliances.
Qualified persons are persons who, by reason of their training,
experience and instructions, as well as their knowledge of the
relevant standards, regulations, accident prevention regulations and
operating relations have been empowered by the person(s)
responsible for plant safety to carry out the necessary work and are
able to recognize and avoid possible dangers (definitions for skilled
workers - cf. VDE0105 or DIN VDE 0100-300 as well).

Among other things, acquaintance with firstaid measures and the local rescue devices is
required. The prohibition on the employment
of unqualified personnel in work on heavy
current facilities is regulated, for example, in
DIN VDE0105 or DIN VDE 0100-300.

The following must be particularly observed:


-

Technical data and details as to the permitted application


(conditions for the assembly, connection, environment and
operations), with are contained, among other places, in the
catalogue, in the order documentation, in the operating
instructions, on the rating plates and in other product
documentation;
general assembly and safety regulations;
local provisions and requirements specific to the facility;
the correct use of tools and lifting and transport devices;
the use of personal protective clothing;
assembly conditions for appliances delivered in accordance
with IPOO (without covering): during operations the required
protection against accidental contact must be present and/or
dangerous approaches prevented.

For the sake of clarity the operating instructions cannot contain all
the detailed information on possible model variations, and
particularly cannot take into consideration every possible case of
installation, operation or maintenance. For this reason the Operating
Instructions can basically only contain information which is required
for the correct use of the machine or appliance by qualified personnel
(see above) in industrial applications.
If in special cases more exacting demands are made for the planned
utilization of the machine or appliance in non-industrial areas (e.g.
child-proof safety devices or similar) these conditions must be
fulfilled on assembly by the customer with additional safety devices.

It is recommended that the services of the ABM Customer Service


Department are used for all servicing.

NOTE: The ABM assembly brochures, witch can be obtained


where necessary from the distributors, contain further detailed
information on general work, e.g. checking incoming deliveries
(transport damage), long-term storage and conservation of machines,
checking foundations, fitting couplings, fitting and aligning
machines, and installing measures.

WARNING To prevent breakdowns it is


necessary that the prescribed maintenance,
inspection and revision measures are carried
out regularly by experienced servicing staff
(see above).
Changes to normal operations (increased power consumption, higher
temperatures, increased vibrations, noises etc. or responses from the
monitoring equipment) can mean that functions are impaired. To
prevent breakdowns, which can directly or indirectly lead to serious
injuries or damage, the maintenance staff must be informed without
delay.

IF IN DOUBT SWITCH THE APPLIANCE

Lubricants
When changing the lubricant the transmission must be
thoroughly cleaned. The helical gear bearings must be
checked and if necessary exchanged for new bearings.
Do not mix lubricants. This applies in
particular to mineral and synthetic lubricants.
When using synthetic lubricants check their
tolerance with the conical nipples. Too much
lubricant can lead to overheating.

The datas mentioned in () apply to semi-fluid grease

By AC switching the brakes, a more gentle onset of the

braking may be achieved, providing more protection for


the drive and less switch noise. As a result, there is a
longer switch off delay.
