Shutdown - Storage; Safety Devices; Lifting Wire Rope - Evers minifor TR 10 Notice D'instruction

• Check that the loose strand is free along its entire
length.
• Do not allow the loaded strand to become loose
if the load is not stably bearing on a sufficiently strong
support.
• Do not apply short successive actions on the
pushbuttons.
IMPORTANT :
The loose strand of the wire rope must be kept
away from the loaded strand, and more
particularly, when two loaded strands are used
with tackle so that the loose strand does not
become tangled with the loaded strands.
For the same reasons, the loose wire rope
strand must be kept away from any obstacle
which could catch it and you should be careful
to prevent the loose strand from becoming
tangled in itself; this could result in preventing
the low limit stop attached to the loose strand
from reaching the stopping mechanisms (limit
stop levers) on the unit. Blockage of the loose
strand when moving up (load moving down)
could result in rupture of the wire rope and the
load falling.
Deformation of the wire rope can also cause the
wire rope to block in the hoist or on contact of
the deformed part with the hoist. Whatever the
cause of the wire rope movement becoming
blocked, the hoisting operation should be
stopped immediately. See section 13.
The limit stops are not control components but safety
components. These should never be used
intentionally in this respect and only serve as
stopping mechanisms in the event of unintentional
overshoot of the planned travel distance.
Never park or work under the load. If necessary,
set up a safety barrier around the area under the
load.
7. SHUTDOWN – STORAGE
Do not disconnect the wire rope hook from the load
until the load is stable and firmly bearing on a
sufficiently strong support.
The hoist can remain in position provided it is
properly sheltered from weather and located in a dry
location. Disconnect the unit electrically when not
in use.
Make sure the hoist cannot be used by
unauthorized persons.
For storage, the unit can be stored in its case. The
wire rope must be removed from the unit (except
those models having a winder) and rolled on its reel.

The unit must never be set on its base when the wire
rope is engaged in the unit as this would result in
bending and damaging the wire rope.

8. SAFETY DEVICES

The hoist is provided with the following safety
devices :
• A no-current brake motor.
• Emergency stop control on control box – Red
button (see Fig. 2).
• Mechanical interlock, prohibiting simultaneous
action of Up and Down controls.
• Very-low voltage control (48 V) for three-phase units.
• High and low limit levers on unit, working with stops
on wire rope.
• Safety latches (1) on hooks (Figs. 16 and 17)
• Electrical protection for control box: class 2.
• Control protection fuse, in electrical unit.
The emergency stop function is ensured by
pressing the red button (Fig. 2). To restart the unit
after an emergency stop, the emergency stop
button must be unlocked by turning it in the direction
of the arrows marked on the button, after having
ensured that all the emergency conditions have
been eliminated.

9. LIFTING WIRE ROPE

The minifor™ wire rope is equipped with a safety
hook at one of its ends. The hook is mounted on a
wire rope loop equipped with a lug crimped in a metal
sleeve (see Fig.17). The other end is welded and
ground. This end must be maintained welded,
rounded and free of any irregularities (see Fig. 18).
To ensure safe use of the minifor™ hoists, they must
only be used with the minifor™ wire rope specially
designed for the hoist (diameter of 6.5 mm).
Use of a damaged or inappropriate wire rope
represents a serious risk of accident and failure.
The condition of the wire rope should be monitored
regularly and the wire rope should be immediately
eliminated if it shows any sign of damage such as
deformation, bending or broken wires (Fig. 19).
Any wire rope whose nominal diameter has been
reduced by 10% or which has more than 10 broken
wires over a length of 200 mm should be eliminated.
Standard ISO 4309 (Measure as shown in Fig. 20).
Do not expose the wire rope to temperatures
exceeding 100°C or to any corrosive mechanical or
chemical agents.
