fasteners/hardware are missing.

Figure 3-3 Chain Container Installation

3.5 Mounting Location

3.5.1

Prior to mounting the hoist ensure that the suspension and the supporting
structure are adequate to support the hoist and its loads. If necessary consult a professional that is qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the suspension location and its supporting structure.

3.5.2

See Section 6.6 for outdoor installation considerations

3.6 Mounting the Hoist

3.6.1 ET525 Mini Trolley ­ Refer to Section 3.8 for installation instructions

3.6.2 Manual Trolley – Follow instructions in Owner’s Manual provided with the trolley.

3.6.3 Hook Mounted to a Fixed Location – Attach the hoist’s top hook to the fixed suspension point.

3.6.4

Ensure that the fixed suspension point rests on the center of the hook’s saddle and

the hook’s latch is engaged.

3.7 Electrical Connections

3.7.1

Ensure that the voltage of the electric power supply is proper for the hoist or trolley.

16

3.7.2 3.7.3

Before proceeding, ensure that the electrical supply for the hoist or trolley has
been de-energized (disconnected). Lock out and tag out in accordance with ANSI Z244.1 “Personnel Protection -Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources”.

This instruction applies to installations where the hoist is installed hook mounted to a fixed suspension point or installed on a manual trolley. In this case the hoist is controlled by a pendant with two push buttons ­ one for raising and one for lowering.

Pendant Cord

The Pendant Cord is hard wired to the hoist. Make this connection as follows:

1.) Single Speed Adjustable Models (EDV) Refer to Figure 3-4. The Push Button Cord is factory installed onto the hoist body. Attach the Strain Relief Wire (2) to Cable Support L (1).

2.)

Short circuit and electric shock may result if the Push Button Cord is

pulled when the Strain Relief Wire is not connected to the hoist body. ALWAYS make sure

that the Strain Relief Wire is properly attached to the hoist body.

3.)

To avoid wear between the Load Chain and the Chain Guide, straighten

Load Chain before fitting the Coiled Cord to the Chain Container.

4.)

To avoid damaging the Coiled Cord, attach the Chain Container so that

the Wire Tie faces up and away from the Load Chain

Figure 3-4 Diagram for Pendant Type Push Button Cord Installation
Power Supply Cable ­ Hoist Connection A 14-gauge Power Supply Cable is supplied with hoist.
When the power source is far away and an extension supply cable is required,
an adequate gauge size.
Power Supply Cable – Installation 17

If the hoist is hook mounted to a fixed support ensure that the Power Supply Cable is properly installed and supported between the hoist and the electrical power supply.

If the host is installed on a manual trolley, then the Power Supply Cable must be installed along the beam that the trolley runs on. For curved beams a special cable suspension system will be needed, and this instruction does not apply. For straight beams install the Power Supply Cable as follows:
Install a Guide Wire System parallel to the beam.
For a manual trolley the Guide Wire should be positioned slightly outside the hoist’s Cable Support.

3.7.4 Connection to Electrical Power Source – The white and black wires of the Power Supply Cable should be connected to an Electric Power Disconnect Switch or Circuit Breaker.

3.7.5

Fuse/Breaker Capacity – The hoist’s power supply should be equipped with overcurrent protection such as fuses, which should be selected for 110% to 120% of total listed full load amperage, and should be dual element time-delay fuses. Refer to the motor nameplate for the full load amperage draw.

3.7.6

Grounding – An improper or insufficient ground connection creates an electrical
shock hazard when touching any part of the hoist or trolley. In the Power Supply Cable the ground wire will be either Green with Yellow stripe or solid Green. It should always be connected to a suitable ground connection. Do not paint the trolley wheel running surfaces of the beam as this can affect grounding.

3.8 Mini Trolley Installation

3.8.1 Mini Trolley – Follow instructions below to install the trolley. Refer to Figure 3-6.

  1. Remove the Top Hook Assembly from the hoist.

  2. Refer to Table 3-3 for placement of Adjusting Spacers for the flange width “B” of the traversing beam. The position of Adjusting Spacers differs with flange width. If the beam flange width is not listed in Table 3-3, use the next size smaller and make adjustments in accordance with step 3. Use all 32 Adjusting Spacers provided.

  1. Refer to Figure 3-6 and assemble the Trolley Frames, Adjusting Spacers and Socket Bolts onto the Top Yoke. Install and hand tighten the Hex Nuts on the Socket Bolts. Verify that dimension “A” is approximately 0.12 – 0.16 in (3-4mm) greater than “B” (flange width). If “A” does not fall within the
    18

specified range, move Adjusting Spacers from the inside of the Trolley Frame to the outside or from the outside to the inside as necessary to obtain the proper “A” dimension, irrespective of the numbers in Table 3-3.

  1. Install the trolley and hoist onto traversing beam using one of the following 2 methods:

Preferred Method ­ Sliding adjusted the trolley connected with hoist onto the traversing beam from the beam end is the most convenient and recommended method. If the trolley can be mounted from the end of the beam then: Remove the trolley end-stop from the beam and set the trolley on the beam from the end. Securely re-install the trolley end stop on the beam.

Optional Method ­ If the trolley cannot be mounted from the end of the beam, loosen the Hex Nuts and spread the trolley Frames. Lift the trolley and hoist onto the beam from below. Push the trolley frames together, adjust the spacing as in accordance with Step 3 and hand tighten the hex Nuts.

  1. Check for contact between all four Trolley Wheels and the rail surface. Shift the Trolley Frame until all Trolley Wheels rest on the rail surface. Tighten the Hex Nuts and install the two (2) U-Nuts onto the Socket Bolts tighten against the Hex Nuts. Install the Split Pins onto the Socket Bolts and bend securely.

Incorrect number of Adjusting Spacers may cause the trolley to not move or to

drop. To avoid these hazards, always make sure to use all 32 spacers and confirm that A – B = 0.12 –

0.16 in (3-4mm).

To prevent the trolley from dropping, firmly fasten the Socket Bolt, Nut and U-Nut.

Insert Split Pin and bend the ends 90 degrees or more.

Figure 3-6 Mini Trolley Installation

3.8.2

For all trolley suspended electric chain hosts, rail stops must be installed at each
end of the rail. Failure to install rail stops will allow the hoist and trolley to fall off the end of the rail and thus cause and accident that could resutt in injury and/ or property damage. The stops must be positioned so as to not exert impact force on the electric chain hoist frame or trolley wheels. They must contact the ends of the trolley side frames.

19

3.9 Pre-operational Checks and Trial Operation

3.9.1

Confirm the adequacy of the rated capacity for all slings, chains, wire ropes and all
other lifting attachments before use. Inspect all load suspension members for damage prior to use and replace or repair all damaged parts.

3.9.2

Verify and correct all chain irregularities prior to operating the hoist. For reference

see Section 3.2.

3.9.3 Measure and record the “k” dimension of all hooks on hoist. See Table 5-5 under Section 5, “Inspection”.

3.9.4 Record the hoist’s Code, Lot and Serial Number (from the name plate on the hoist; see Section 9) in the space provided on the cover of this manual.

3.9.5 Ensure that the hoist is properly installed to either a fixed point, or trolley, whichever applies

3.9.6 If hoist is installed on a trolley, ensure that

trolley is properly installed on the beam, and

stops for the trolley are correctly positioned and securely installed on the beam.

3.9.7 Ensure that all nuts, bolts and split pins (cotter pins) are sufficiently fastened.

3.9.8 Pull down on the Pendant and ensure that the Cord Strain Relief Cable takes the force, not the Pendant Cord.

3.9.9

Check supply voltage before everyday use. If the voltage varies more than 10% of

the rated value, electrical devices may not function normally.

3.9.10 Confirm proper operation.

Before operating read and become familiar with Section 4 – Operation.

Before operating ensure that the hoist (and trolley) meets the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements of ANSI/ASME B30.16.

Before operating ensure that nothing will interfere with the full range of the hoist’s (and trolley’s) operation.

4.4.2

Never pull the coiled cord, pendant or pendant cord. Pulling the coiled cord,
pendant or the pendant cord may disconnect cord wires. Disconnected wire(s) may cause a short circuit in the hoist body or any surrounding conductor, giving the operator electric shock.

4.4.3

Always move the hoist horizontally by grasping the cylinder grip or pushing the

load.

24

4.5 Lifting Speed Adjustment Using Potentiometer

4.5.1

Always disconnect power to the hoist before making any lifting speed
adjustments. When making multiple lifting speed adjustments, be sure to disconnect power before each adjustment. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.

4.5.2 EDV model hoists are equipped with adjustable speed control using a variable resistor (potentiometer) located under the control cover (as seen in Figure 4-2).

4.5.3

Using a small flathead screwdriver, engage the slotted potentiometer dial and rotate the potentiometer dial to make adjustments to the lifting speed. To achieve the slowest lifting speed, rotate the potentiometer dial fully clockwise to its limit. To achieve the fastest lifting speed, rotate the potentiometer dial fully counterclockwise to its limit. Intermediate lifting speeds can be achieved with dial adjustments between the upper and lower limits of the potentiometer.

6.0 Maintenance and Handling

6.1 Lubrication

6.1.1

Load Chain
For longer life, the load chain should be lubricated.
The load chain lubrication should be accomplished after cleaning the load chain with an acid free cleaning solution.
Apply Harrington lubricating grease (Part No. ER1BS1951) or an equivalent to industrial general lithium grease, NLGI No. 0, to the bearing surfaces of the load chain links as indicated by the shaded areas in Figure 6-1. Also apply the grease to the areas of the load chain (shaded areas in Figure 6-1) that contact the load sheave. Insure that the grease is applied to the contact areas in the load sheave pockets.

Machine or gear oil (grade ISO VG 46 or 68 oil or equivalent) may be used as an alternative lubricant but must be applied more frequently.

Figure 6-1 Chain Grease Application

6.1.2 6.1.3

The chain should be lubricated every 3 months (more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions).

For dusty environments, it is acceptable to substitute a dry lubricant.

Hooks and Suspension Components:

Hooks – Bearings should be cleaned and lubricated at least once per year for normal usage. Clean and lubricate more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.

Suspension Pins – Lubricate at least twice per year for normal usage; more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.

Gear Box:

Not using Harrington ED oil or the wrong quantity of oil may prevent the friction

clutch from working properly and may affect the ability of the hoist to hold the load. Refer to

Section 3.1 for the correct quantity.

Change gear oil at least once every 5 years. The oil should be changed more frequently depending on the hoist’s usage and operating environment.

To change the gear oil, remove both fill and drain plugs and allow the old oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill the gear case with the correct quantity of new oil or until the oil level is even with the bottom of the oil check hole. Refer to Figure 3-1.

Dispose of the used oil in accordance with local regulations.

33

6.2 Load Chain

6.2.1 Lubrication and Cleaning ­ refer to Section 6.1.

6.2.2 Load Chain Replacement:

The hoist must be properly powered and operational in order to perform the

following procedures.

Be certain that the replacement Load Chain is obtained from Harrington and is the

exact size, grade and construction as the original chain. The new Load Chain must have an odd

number of links so that both its end links have the same orientation. If the Load Chain is being

replaced due to damage or wear out, destroy the old chain to prevent its reuse.

When replacing load chain, check for wear on mating parts, i.e. Load Sheave,

Chain Guides and Idle Sheaves, and replace parts if necessary.

  1. Remove all chain components including the Bottom Hook Set Assembly, Stoppers, Cushion Rubbers, Washers and Chain Pin from the chain for reuse on new chain. Inspect and replace any damaged or worn parts.

  2. Using a C-link, attach the new chain to the end link of the old chain on the no-load side. The end link of the new Load Chain should be connected so that the welded portions of the Load Chain’s standing links are oriented to the outside as they pass over the sheave. Refer to Figure 6-1.

  3. Operate the hoist down to move the chain though the hoist body. Stop when a sufficient amount of new chain is accumulated on the load side.

  4. Attach the chain components (step 4 above) to the chain. Refer to Section 3.2 for the proper locations.

Make sure Stoppers, Cushion Rubbers, Washers and Split Pins are properly

installed.

  1. After installation has been completed, perform steps outlined in Section 3.8 “Pre-operational Checks and Trial Operation”.

6.3 Mechanical Load Brake with Friction Clutch

6.3.1

Mechanical Load Brake with Friction Clutch ­ If abnormal operation or slippage occurs do NOT attempt to disassemble or adjust the Mechanical Load Brake with Friction Clutch. Replace the worn or malfunctioning Mechanical Load Brake with Friction Clutch as an assembly with a new, factory adjusted part.
