Secure the load with a secondary device before entering the area beneath the suspended load . or
use D8+ hoist with EXE-Load cells. Depending on local legislation and the outcome of a risk
assessment the hoist may be left without these precautions.
Take up a slack load chain carefully and start load gently to avoid shock and jerking of the hoist weight
chain. If there is any evidence of overloading, immediately lower the load and remove the excess load.
When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the floor or support and check all attachments to the
hook and load are firmly seated and secure. Continue to lift only after you are certain all attachments
are in good order and the load is free from any obstructions.
Arrange periodic maintenance to ensure the hoist is functioning correctly and in accordance with this
document.
In general, use of the hoist with materials, adjustments or modifications not envisaged in this
document strictly is prohibited
Maintenance shall be solely executed by RWM S.r.l. authorised persons.
Keep the hoist clean and efficient by carrying out the suggested maintenance program.
Avoid “bumping” of a hoist. With bumping is meant frequently pressing the start and stop button to
adjust the hoist position.
Do not load hoist beyond the rated capacity. Overload can cause failure of some load-carrying part or
create a defect causing subsequent failure at less than rated capacity.
Working inside or near powered equipment can result in electric shock: before carrying out any work on
the hoist, always disconnect power supply and make sure that no one can insert the plug again until the
task is complete.
When possible, maintenance must be carried out without suspended load; failing this, the area must be
enclosed and monitored and the load must be held by means of a secondary safety component.
Do not clean the hoist using a pressure washing device.
Keep maintenance and test reports issued by RWM S.r.l. together with the manual.
All maintenance, repair, adjustment, cleaning operations must be carried out only by qualified personnel
duly trained and competent, who has fully read and understood this document.
Maintenance must be carried out in a safe area whilst using proper tools and safety equipment.
In case of poor ambient lighting, install a lamp for local lighting for maintenance interventions or use
adequate portable devices.
Replace any cable or wire with like for like items.
Use only spare parts identical to those to be replaced or previously authorised by the manufacturer.
Follow industrial hygiene rules during cleaning of the machine.
In the instance of maintenance work being carried out at height, please ensure the correct access
equipment is employed, and local safety regulations are taken into consideration.
No makeshift repairs with the aid of extra pieces or taping are allowed. It is prohibited to warm
equipment with flames, hot air or other instruments in case they are stiffened or blocked.
Always wait for parts to cool if the hoist has been running intensively before maintenance.
2.3 SAFETY WARNING FOR INSTALLATION, ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
The hoist must be assembled and disassembled only by authorized and qualified operator. The necessary
qualifications for planning, assembly, disassembly, and activation, depend on the degree of risk and the
location and type of job.
Operator are required to provide current overload protection and grounding on the branch circuit section in
keeping with the code. Check each installation for compliance with the application, operation and
maintenance sections of these articles.
