ALIMAK 34597 - 1 /01
General
– Read all Warning and Instruction Signs.
– Keep the work area clean. Any oil spillage must be removed
immediately to avoid the risk of slipping.
– Never climb on the mast.
– During erection, dismantling or hoistway inspection, the
hoist must always be operated from the car roof. When
working from the car roof take precautions to avoid being
struck by mast ties, cable guides, landings, counterweight,
structure openings, etc. while hoist is moving.
– During mast erection/dismantling and when servicing a
hoist with dual cars, the main switch at the ground landing,
as well as the main switch in the car which is not being
serviced, must be switched off and locked. This in order to
ensure no accidental moving of the car.
– Before carrying out any service work, the ”Normal/Inspection”
switch in the control panel on hoist car must be placed in the
”Inspection” position. This is of greatest importance
especially for hoists with ”Auto return” or similar remote
control function.
– When the control equipment on the car roof is to be left on
temporarily during installation/dismantling or service, the
main switch in the control panel of the hoist car must be
switched off and locked in order to ensure no accidental
moving of the car.
– Under no circumstances the hoist, single or dual, shall be
driven if there is a person within the ground enclosure, on
the mast or tie.
– Complete each item of work before starting a new one or
taking a break. This is especially important when bolting
mast sections and installing ties.
Mast and mast ties
– The maximum tie distance, prescribed in the manual or on
Installation drawing, must not be exceeded.
– Bolted joints shall always be tightened to the required torque
as prescribed by the Instruction Manual.
– If any structural damage or severe corrosion is seen on such
items as mast sections or mast ties, the hoist must be imme-
diately taken out of service and the extent of the damage be
determined and corrective action taken before the hoist is
put into service again.
– All mast accessories required to be installed on the mast
must be secured properly during installation in order to
avoid the object falling and thereby possibly causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
