Protect the hoist and its components from corrosive chemicals, inclement weather, heat sources and
open flames (e.g. fireworks).
Attach the suspended load to the Chain hook of the hoist by means of lifting accessories and/or
suspension points integrated into the load itself.
Before lifting the suspended load, make sure that it is firmly placed in the saddle of the hoist hook.
In case of use of hoists with double chain fall (multiple chain lengths) check that the chain is not twisted;
if applicable, rotate the pulley-hook block until the twist is completely removed.
Before moving the load, notify the personnel in the area of installation and set up of suspended loads.
Limit "bumping" operations, i.e. repeatedly starting and stopping the machine to adjust the position of
the EXE RISE hoist.
The lifting operation must be planned and analysed before moving the load; lifting operations can
generate additional hazards during the installation phases.
To operate EXE RISE electric chain hoists in multiple lifting mode, the additional hazards listed in table
below shall be considered and appropriately reduced.
TypeType ConsequenceConsequence OriginOrigin
Mechanical Crushing Failure of lifting accessories
Mechanical Entanglement Entanglement with suspended load
Electric Electrocution Electrocution by equipment
Involuntary Shock Starting the machine without the presence of the operator
Involuntary Crushing Failure to control speed and position
Involuntary Crushing Malfunction of control software
Involuntary Crushing Security measures ignored or bypassed
Misuse Shock Use of the system by an unauthorized person
The additional protection measures to be implemented must:

Be of solid construction.
Be safely installed.
Not be the source of further hazards.
Not be easy to ignore, bypass or render ineffective.
Be located at an appropriate distance from the danger zone.
Not impede the operator's view.
Allow the normal installation and operating procedures of EXE RISE electric chain hoists, ideally
without having to remove such protections.
WARNINGWARNING

Once the suspended load reaches the operating position it is necessary to install secondary safety
devices if required by the intended use of the hoist and/or by local regulations.
When the whole chain is collected in the bag, at the last one quarter of it must be empty so as to prevent
the chain from accidentally falling out.
Ensure that the chain stop does not come into contact with the machine frame; in case of accidental
contact, operate the hoist by reversing the direction of travel so as to remove the stop from the body.
Remove secondary safety devices before lowering suspended loads.
