Test Procedure

Below is the full testing procedure required to complete an Annual Hoist Service.

The SWL of 200kg (440 lb) is an essential load for the testing of the Hoist. A mode of transportation to transport the weights to the Hoist is required.

The weights must be attached to the Hoist carry bar securely and follow the below procedure in order:

1. Raise the Weight to the Hoist Upper Limit. Be aware of any unusual noises while raising the Safe Working Load.

2. Lower the weight to a safe height, but still fully suspended from the Hoist.

3. Traverse the Hoist around the full track system and observe. Watch for any abnormalities such as noise or traversing trouble. Also inspect the track system for any abnormalities such as creaking, cracking, traversing the whole track system should test every bracket and accessory to the tracking system, observe for any fragilities in the brackets and supports.

4. Traverse the Hoist to its chosen location of Charging, and insert the Handset into the Charging Dock. Ensure that the Hoist is charging correctly.

5. Remove the Handset from charging and traverse the Hoist away from the charging location.

6. Begin to lower the Hoist using the down function on the Handset.

7. Begin to lower the Hoist using the E-Lower function on the Handset.

8. Continue to lower the Hoist using the E-Lower function on the Membrane.

9. Lower the Hoist using the down function on the membrane until the weight can be detached.

10. Continue to lower until the lift tape has been fully extended to test the lower limit switch.

11. Pull the Off Cord to ensure power is cut from the hoist

12. Reset the cord to resume power to the hoist

13. Raise the Hoist back to its original height.

Test Complete.
