3. Ntọala na nwụnye
Proper installation is crucial for safe operation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Ebe Nkwanye: Select a sturdy and stable overhead structure (e.g., a robust beam or jib arm) capable of supporting at least twice the maximum intended load.
- Nkwanye echekwabara: Use the provided mounting brackets and bolts to firmly attach the hoist to the chosen structure. Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.
- Njikọ eletrik: Connect the hoist to a 230 V~50 Hz single-phase power supply. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and protected by a circuit breaker.
- Control Pendant Connection: Ensure the control pendant cable is securely connected to the hoist unit. The cable features a twisted steel wire and a rubber stopper.
- Nyocha USB: Before first use, uncoil the steel wire rope and inspect it for any kinks, fraying, or damage.
- Single Line Operation (Max 495 kg): For loads up to 495 kg, attach the load directly to the main hook. The cable length is approximately 12 meters.
- Double Line Operation (Max 990 kg): For loads up to 990 kg, use the provided pulley block.
- Attach the pulley block's hook to the load.
- Loop the steel wire rope through the pulley block.
- Secure the end of the wire rope to the designated attachment point on the hoist body. This configuration effectively halves the lifting speed but doubles the capacity. The cable length for double line operation is approximately 6 meters.
