SETTING UPPER LIMIT SWITCH
5.
Refer to Table I The "A" dimensions given are
the minimum distances that should be set
between top of hook block and bottom of hoist.
In other words, the highest allowable hook
position.
6.
Reconnect hoist to power supply.
7.
Run hook to the desired upper position,
cautiously operating the hoist without a load.
8.
Disconnect hoist from power supply.
9.
Moving one traveling nut toward the other
increases hook travel and away from the other
decreases the travel. Now, turn the nut nearest
the switch indicated as the "UPPER LIMIT
SWITCH" until it just breaks the limit switch
contacts. An audible click will be heard as the
switch opens. Continue to rotate the nut toward
the switch an additional two full teeth on single
limit switch gear reduction or one full tooth on
double limit switch gear reduction, refer to Table
I.
10.
Reposition the guide plate in the next slot and
securely tighten screws.
11.
Reconnect hoist to power supply and check the
stopping point of hook by first lowering the hook
about 10 inches, then raise the hook by jogging
cautiously until the upper limit switch stops
upward motion. The stopping point of hook
should be the desired upper position. If not,
repeat the above instructions.
12.
Double check setting by lowering the hook about
2 feet and then run the hook into the upper limit
with i (UP) control held depressed.
13.
Fine adjustment of the upper limit setting may
be obtained by inverting the guide plate in Step
10. The offset on the plate gives adjustments
equivalent to 1/2 notch, see Table I for the
"Hook Travel Per Notch of Limit Switch Nut".
When inverting the plate, it may be necessary to
use the notch adjacent to the one used in the
preliminary setting.
SETTING LOWER LIMIT SWITCH
5.
Refer to Table I The "B" dimensions given are
the minimum number of load chain links that
should be set between the loose end link and
the hoist frame on the loose end side of the
chain. In other words, the lowest allowable hook
position.
CAUTION: THE "B" DIMENSIONS SHOWN IN
THE TABLE ARE THE MINIMUM ALLOWED
FOR SAFE OPERATION AND SHOULD NOT
BE REDUCED.
6.
Reconnect hoist to power supply.
7.
Run the hook to the desired lower position,
cautiously operating the hoist without a load.
8.
Disconnect hoist from power supply.
