Electric Powered Hoists - Sky Climber LNX 65X Manuel Utilisateur

 In the event of loss of power, the hoist may be raised by using the emergency
hand wheel or the optional hand crank. The hoist may be lowered using the
No Power Descent Lever.
crank can be used to raise the suspended equipment if power fails and in order
to get the load back on the primary steel wire rope in case of a power failure.
This will enable you to reset the tripped fall arrest device. If Sky Lock has
tripped due to overspeed : do NOT crank the hoist up in order to try re-setting
the Sky Lock.
 Emergency brake release may be used for controlled lowering of the suspended
equipment in case of power failure.
 Do not allow the electrical power supply cable / air hose to become tangled
with any obstruction or the suspension ropes when raising or lowering the
suspended equipment.
Make certain the electrical cord is of sufficient length to allow full travel of the
suspended equipment.

Electric powered hoists

 Before using electric powered hoists, have a qualified person check the voltage
while hoisting with your maximum allowable load. The voltage should vary with
no more than 10 % of the nominal power supply voltage indicated on the
electromotor data plate.
 Make sure that the electrical power source is "earthed" to a point of sufficient
low resistance.
 Use only approved connector plugs and power supply cords with strain relief,
correctly assembled from hoist to power supply. Verify ground continuity, and
use a ground fault interrupter (as required by code in your location). Consult
local safety authorities for further information.
 Ensure that all metal parts, outlets, junction boxes and other components that
might come in contact with live conductors are properly earthed.
 Always use a power cable cord with earth conductor when using electrically
driven handtools on a suspended platform. Verify that the handtools are properly
earthed. (or use handtools of the double insulated type)
Controls
 Before switching on the main power : check all hoist controls and verify that they are in
the "neutral" or "off" position.
 Before moving the platform : verify that all the persons on or close to the platform are
standing clear and are aware you are going to raise or lower the platform before
moving.
 Before raising or lowering the platform : check that the controls are operating as
indicated on the control panel. Activating the "UP" button / lever has to initiate the
upward movement. If this is not the case : call for a service mechanic.
WARNING : Always wait for the hoist to come to a complete stop before
changing direction of movement, otherwise this may result in loss of control.
