Any Limit Switch re-setting is prohibited. Only RWM authorised service engineers are allowed to carry out re-
setting of limit switch.
320kg LVC model and 160kg D8+ hoist come without limit switch.
For a double reeved hoist like the 2000kg version, the length of chain travel is double. This reduces the lifting
height to 24.5 metres.
5.4 TURN 1000kg SINGLE REEVE IN 2000kg DOUBLE REEVE
EXE-Rise chain hoist D8 1000kg single reeve (DC and LVC) can be turned in D8 2000kg double reeve (DC
and LVC). The procedure to be performed is reported below:
1) Make sure the lifting chain is just 100cm long before modifying the hoist.
2) Reverse barycenter, rotating hoist body hook of 180° as in figure below. Unscrew the screws of the
plate, rotate 180° and tighten the screws, that they are M16 (8,8 steel) and the correct torque for
tightening these screws is 198 Nm (see figure 32).

3) Procure lift “chain hook” with load well for 8x24mm chain and “dead end block 8x24mm chain” (see
figure 33).
