Do not allow the product to be used if it is not in proper condition. The usage WARNING of a defective product can result in serious damage, injury or death.

Never wash the crane or hoist with chemical products or high pressure water CAUTION jets, as they can cause problems like detaching of the stickers and water entering inside the electrical components.

5.1 Service processService process should include following steps. 1 Preliminary actions This may include: • Prepare schedules, process plans and documentation. • Reserve sufficient resourses like properly trained personnel, enough time and apporiate tools. • Plan safety actions and reserve proper safety equipment.

5.2.1 Daily inspectionsDaily inspection items are listed in Hoist Operator’s Manual. In most cases these checks will be performed byoperators on start of each work shift.Check if there is need for other daily checks caused by application, usage, product options, environment or someother reasons. Update Operator’s instructions if needed.

5.2.2 Periodic inspections and maintenance tasksCarry out the inspection and servicing procedures for the hoist in accordance with the maintenance program.Check if there is need for other periodical maintenance tasks or need to shorten the intervals caused byapplication, usage, product options, environment or some other reasons. Update Owner’s and Operatorsinstructions if needed.19/218 R&M Materials Handling, Inc. reserves the right to alter or amend the above information without notice.

In order to ensure safe operation of cranes, the proper working and operational condition shall be maintainedaccording to standard ISO 9927.This requirement covers also special assessments to be carried out by an expert engineer at regular intervals tocheck the remaining Safe Working Period (SWP) of the hoist as stated in standard ISO 12482-1.The condition monitoring unit (CID) provides two different SWP values: the runtime-based SWP (CID parameter 2-12 SWPRT% ) and the working cycle-based SWP (CID parameter 2-15: SWPHC%).The CID display of the data counter SWP always shows the lesser value of two parameters.

5.3.1 General OverhaulIn the GO service, the product is assigned with a new, runtime-based SWP, provided that it is safe to continue theoperation. The runtime-based SWP means the lifetime of the interchangeable rotating components of the hoist likehoisting gear, hoisting motor, and rope sheaves. Note that in case of hoists with a smaller drum size, it is oftenmore cost-efficient to replace the hoist with a new one.

When the Safe Working Period (SWP) of the hoist has decreased to zero or is counting in the negative, the hoist may only be used after a GO service has WARNING been conducted, or the hoist must be replaced with a new one. Any usage of a defective hoist can result in serious damage, injury, or death.

When performing General Overhaul, the construction of the hoist may not be changed or the supporting structures repaired without permission from the CAUTION manufacturer. If there are any deformations, cracks or corrosion in the supporting structures of the hoist, the parts have to be replaced or repaired according to the instructions given by the manufacturer.

At the beginning of the Safe Working Period,a new hoist has an SWP% of 100. A Safe Working Period ends when the SWP% of the hoist is zero. When a SafeWorking Period ends, a General Overhaul (GO) must be conducted, after which the hoist is assigned a new SafeWorking Period, refer to the section "General Overhaul, GO".During the SWP, the safe and efficient operation of the hoist is contingent on regular servicing.

For the safety carry out the inspection and servicing procedures for the hoist CAUTION in accordance with maintenance task list.

To avoid any risk of spark with explosive proof hoists due to the friction of two CAUTION mechanical parts, it is important to follow strictly the maintenance intervals. The safety of the equipment could be compromised if not.

6.1 Periodic inspections and maintenance tasksThe servicing intervals for the hoist are defined as SWP% periods. The actual operation of the hoist is taken intoaccount in SWP%. If the hoist is provided with a condition monitoring unit, the SWP value can be read from the unitdisplay. Refer to the more detailed instructions that are given in the separate operating instructions for the conditionmonitoring unit.The following table shows the service intervals for the hoist in SWP% periods and in calendar months. Theservicing procedure must be carried out at the end of SWP% period latest, or after the stated number of calendarmonths. Hoists without a condition monitoring unit must follow a servicing procedure guide by calendar months. Forensuring the usability of the hoist, the servicing intervals can be shortened.

Hoists used under harsh conditions may require a shorter servicing interval CAUTION than stated in the table. Consult with a representative of the manufacturer for a tailored service agreement.

If the hoisting machinery is used outdoors, the lubrication of all the hoisting CAUTION machinery parts, as a general rule, should be carried out on a quarterly basis (every three months).

Periodical inspecting and servicing procedure may only be carried out by a WARNING serviceman authorized by the hoist manufacturer, or by th
