Strongway Manual Chain Hoist Instruction Manual

Introdução

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Strongway Manual Chain Hoist. This commercial-grade hoist features heat-treated double pawls for reliable brakes and meets ASME B30.16/ASME HST-2:2014 safety standards. It is constructed with a durable high-strength steel frame and gear case, a Grade 80 load chain, and uses lithium grease for optimal performance. The hoist includes tough ductile drop-forged hooks designed to show noticeable opening under excessive overload, enhancing safety. The blackening side plate, zinc-plated hand chain with a rolled-edge design, and asbestos-free friction disc contribute to smooth operation. A cast steel safety latch on the 360° swivel hook further increases safety during use.

Informações de segurança

AVISO: O não cumprimento destas instruções de segurança pode resultar em ferimentos graves ou morte.

• Always inspect the hoist before each use for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction. Do not use if damaged.

Configurar

1. Desembalagem: Carefully remove the hoist from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the supplier immediately.
2. Local de montagem: Select a mounting point that is structurally sound and capable of supporting the hoist's weight plus the maximum rated load with an adequate safety factor. This could be a beam, trolley, or other approved overhead support.
3. Anexo seguro: Attach the hoist's upper hook securely to the chosen mounting point. Ensure the safety latch on the hook is fully closed and engaged.
4. Inspeção da corrente: Before first use, fully extend the load chain and hand chain. Check for any twists, kinks, damage, or foreign material. Ensure the chain moves freely through the hoist mechanism.
5. Operação de teste: Perform a test lift with a light load to ensure all mechanisms (lifting, lowering, braking) function correctly.

Instruções de operação

1. Conectando a Carga: Attach the lower hook securely to the load using appropriate lifting accessories (slings, shackles, etc.). Ensure the safety latch on the lower hook is fully closed and engaged. The 360° swivel hook allows for flexible positioning.
2. Levantando a carga: Pull the hand chain downwards to lift the load. Pulling one side of the hand chain will engage the lifting mechanism. Maintain a steady, controlled pull.
3. Abaixando a carga: To lower the load, pull the other side of the hand chain. The braking mechanism will control the descent. Ensure a slow, controlled lowering motion.
4. Frenagem: The hoist features a reliable braking system that automatically engages when the hand chain is released, holding the load securely in position.
5. Controle de carga: Always maintain control of the load. Avoid swinging or sudden movements.
6. Após o uso: Once the load is safely placed, remove the lower hook. Store the hoist in a clean, dry place, free from corrosive elements.

Manutenção

• Inspeção regular: Conduct daily or pre-shift inspections of the hoist, including the load chain, hand chain, hooks, safety latches, and housing for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation.
• Lubrificação: Periodically lubricate the load chain and internal moving parts with lithium grease, as specified for high performance. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for lubrication points and frequency.
• Limpeza: Keep the hoist clean and free from dirt, dust, and debris. A clean hoist operates more efficiently and allows for easier inspection.
• Estado da corrente: Inspect the load chain for stretching, nicks, gouges, or corrosion. Replace the chain if any damage is found. Ensure the hand chain is also in good condition.
• Inspeção do gancho: Check hooks for any signs of bending, twisting, or cracks. The ductile drop-forged hooks are designed to show noticeable opening under excessive overload; if this is observed, the hook must be replaced. Ensure safety latches operate freely and fully engage.
• Manutenção profissional: For internal component inspection or repair, it is recommended to have the hoist serviced by qualified personnel.
