Troubleshooting 10 Troubleshooting In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy The electric chain hoists do not respond when [RUN] is pressed. 1. Check the wiring to the electric chain hoists. 2. Check whether the assigned rotary switch is in ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ position. 3. Check that the circuit breaker is in ‘ON’ position. 4. If the emergency stop button is pressed and locked: Make sure that the reason for pressing the switch is no longer present and turn it clockwise to the operating position. The device does not respond at all. 1.
Troubleshooting If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
