2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating the electric hoist. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or equipment damage.

• Read and understand this entire manual before installation or operation.
• Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the hoist. Refer to the specifications table for your specific model.
• Ensure the hoist is securely mounted to a stable and appropriate support structure.
• Regularly inspect the wire rope, hooks, and all components for wear, damage, or deformation. Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Keep hands and body clear of the wire rope and moving parts during operation.
• Do not use the hoist to lift people or loads over people.
• Ensure the power supply matches the hoist's requirements (220V 50Hz single-phase).
• Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop function on the control pendant.
• The hoist is equipped with a thermal protection device; if it overheats, it will shut down. Allow it to cool before resuming operation.
• The control button features 24V low voltage for enhanced safety.
• Protection class is IP54, indicating protection against dust and splashing water. However, avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

3. Components

The Mini Electric Wire Rope Hoist consists of the following main components:

• Motor: The power unit for lifting and lowering. Features 100% pure copper windings and 8.0 silicon steel sheet core components for efficiency and durability.
• Steel Cable (Wire Rope): High-strength cable for lifting loads.
• Hook: Drop-forged, heat-treated, and mounted on swivel steel balls with safety latches. Can be used in single or double configuration.
• Control Pendant: Handheld unit with Up/Down buttons and an Emergency Stop knob. Operates on 24V low voltage.
• Plug: For connecting to the power supply.
• Mounting Clamps/Brackets: Used to secure the hoist to a support beam.
• Pulley Block (for Double Hook Use): An additional pulley and hook assembly used to double the lifting capacity and halve the lifting speed.

5. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Ensure all steps are followed carefully.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any visible damage during transit.
2. Mounting Location: Select a sturdy and stable overhead beam or structure capable of supporting the hoist's weight plus the maximum rated load.
3. Secure Mounting: Attach the hoist securely to the chosen support using the provided mounting clamps/brackets. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the hoist to a dedicated 220V, 50Hz, single-phase power outlet. Ensure the circuit is properly grounded and protected by an appropriate circuit breaker.
5. Wire Rope Inspection: Before first use, fully extend and retract the wire rope to check for any kinks, fraying, or damage. Ensure it spools correctly onto the drum.
6. Hook Configuration:
   • Single Hook Use: For direct lifting, attach the main hook directly to the load. This provides higher lifting speed but lower capacity.
   • Double Hook Use (with Pulley Block): For increased lifting capacity (doubled) and reduced lifting speed (halved), use the provided pulley block. Thread the wire rope through the pulley block and attach the secondary hook. Refer to the diagram below.

7. Limit Switch Check: Manually test the upper and lower limit switches to ensure they stop the hoist automatically before the hook reaches its extreme positions. Adjust if necessary.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your electric hoist.

1. Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, visually inspect the hoist, wire rope, hooks, and control pendant for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
2. Secure the Load: Attach the load securely to the hook(s). Ensure the load is balanced and will not shift during lifting. Never exceed the rated capacity for your chosen hook configuration (single or double).
3. Clear the Area: Ensure the lifting path is clear of obstructions and personnel.
4. Lifting:
   • Press and hold the "UP" button on the control pendant to lift the load.
   • Lift the load slowly and smoothly, avoiding sudden jerks.
   • The hoist will automatically stop when the upper limit switch is activated.
5. Lowering:
   • Press and hold the "DOWN" button on the control pendant to lower the load.
   • Lower the load slowly and smoothly.
   • The hoist will automatically stop when the lower limit switch is activated.
6. Emergency Stop: In case of an emergency or malfunction, immediately press the red "EMERGENCY STOP" knob on the control pendant. This will cut power to the hoist.
7. After Operation: Once the task is complete, lower the hook to a safe resting position and disconnect power if the hoist will not be used for an extended period.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your hoist.

• Daily/Before Use:
  • Inspect the wire rope for any signs of wear, fraying, kinks, or corrosion.
  • Check hooks for deformation, cracks, or worn safety latches.
  • Verify that the emergency stop button and limit switches are functioning correctly.
  • Ensure all mounting bolts are tight.
• Monthly/Regularly:
  • Clean the hoist exterior, especially the motor cooling fins, to prevent overheating.
  • Check electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
  • Lubricate the wire rope and other moving parts as recommended by general hoist maintenance practices (e.g., light oil or grease).
  • Inspect the motor and gearbox for unusual noises or excessive heat during operation.
• Storage: When not in use, store the hoist in a dry, clean, and protected environment to prevent rust and damage.

8. Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter.

9. User Tips

• Always perform a quick visual inspection before each use to catch potential issues early.
• When using the double hook configuration, remember that the lifting speed will be halved, but the capacity doubled. Plan your lifts accordingly.
• Avoid leaving the hoist under load for extended periods when not actively lifting or lowering.
• Keep the control pendant clean and dry.
• If you notice any unusual behavior, stop operation immediately and investigate the cause.
