2. SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNING
Indicated below are the structural and environmental requirements that must be checked by the user for guaranteeing safe use of the hoist:
The user is responsible for the construction method used for the set-up structure, the related load
capacity and the conditions of the suspension points arranged in the place of use. In addition to the risk evaluation and operating procedures, project documentation (calculation reports, drawings, etc.) related to such aspects, must also be prepared.
The set-up structure and the related elements involved (hoist anchoring point, hoist and related
accessories and the load thereof) must be able to bear the imposed loads (during the use of the load) with a suitable safety factor. In the overall analysis, the dynamic forces must also be considered.
Use of the hoist under conditions other than those described, can result in accidents that may cause injuries and/or material damages.
Check that the electrical supply system to be used is adequate and conforms to local standards.
Supplementary to the manual, the local statutory regulations governing general accident prevention and environmental protection are to be enforced.
It is the sole responsibility of the client to check with local authorities if the legislation used by EXE-Rise chain hoist is acceptable in the country of use.
Do not allow anyone under 18 years of age to operate the chain hoist.
STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication which may diminished control.
The employer has a duty to ensure that the operator has skills and knowledge to understand the contents of this manual.
2.2 SAFETY WARNING FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE
The hoist can be used only and exclusively by authorised and qualified operator.
The operational parameters of the electric chain hoist also encompass compliance with the predefined operating, service and maintenance requirements laid down by the manufacturer.
Chain hoists may only be used when in an acceptable technical condition, in accordance with their operating parameters, by trained personnel in a safe and responsible manner.
14 / 64
The hoist must be used with a control system that meets local electrical safety regulations.
The operational parameters do not allow, but are not limited to:
- exceeding the defined load capacity
- any lateral load to be applied the hoist body
- any side pull to be applied the lift chain
- heaving, pulling or dragging the load
- standing beneath suspended and/or lifted loads
- transporting excessive loads
- pulling on the control cable
- failing to observe the load hook constantly
- failing to observe the load constantly
- running the chain over edges
- slack chain to occur which may cause the load to fall
- use at temperatures below -10° C or above +40° C
- use in an explosive environment.
Bumping operations shall be limited; ground mooring and driving against the limit switches should be avoided. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage to equipment and third parties ensuing from such action.
Special attention shall be taken when hoists are used in or near aggressive environments (e.g. Salt water or chloroform ). The aluminum and steel alloys used might not be particularly suitable for such environments. Special attention to protect the chain shall be taken. A high level of lubricant as well as a proper condition of the zinc layer helps to prevent the chain from becoming corroded. Do not allow anyone under 18 years of age to operate the chain hoist.In addition to the instructions mentioned in this manual, the user must follow the rules on accident prevention and safety that are in force in the country where the hoist is being used. Follow these operating instructions:
Only competent persons are permitted to use the equipment. Make sure you are adequately trained. Know your load before lifting! Make sure all loads exposed are considered. For example but not limited
to; Self-weight of the load to be lifted, Self-weight of the lifting equipment, the dynamic factor caused by start and stopping of the hoist, point of gravity of the load and environmental influences such as wind.
When preparing to lift a load, be sure that the attachments to the hook are firmly seated in hook
saddle. Avoid off centre loading of any kind, especially loading on the point of the hook.
Before lifting, check for twists in the load chain. On single reeved chain hoist used in conjunction with
head blocks and ground support systems, check for twists between the hoist and head block. Twisted load can result in a jammed chain and damage to the hoist.
On double reeved units a twist can occur if the lower hook block has been upturned between the
strands of chain. The hook should be reversed to remove the twist from the chain before operation. A safe way of storage in order to avoid turns in the chain is to run the lift hook back to the hoist body, or secure the hook to a fixing point within its transportation case.
Warn personnel of your intention to lift a load. Make sure the only noise in the area is that of running
hoist. This way abnormalities can be detected easier. Use spotters at required position in order to observe the lift.
In the event of any abnormal sound coming from the hoist, lifting should be ceased immediately and
the noise investigated by a competent person.
15 / 64
Secure the load with a secondary device before entering the area beneath the suspended load . or
use D8+ hoist with EXE-Load cells. Depending on local legislation and the outcome of a risk assessment the hoist may be left without these precautions.
Take up a slack load chain carefully and start load gently to avoid shock and jerking of the hoist weight
chain. If there is any evidence of overloading, immediately lower the load and remove the excess load.
When lifting, raise the load only enough to clear the floor or support and check all attachments to the
hook and load are firmly seated and secure. Continue to lift only after you are certain all attachments are in good order and the load is free from any obstructions.
Arrange periodic maintenance to ensure the hoist is functioning correctly and in accordance with this
document.
In general, use of the hoist with materials, adjustments or modifications not envisaged in this
document strictly is prohibited Maintenance shall be solely executed by RWM S.r.l. authorised persons. Keep the hoist clean and efficient by carrying out the suggested maintenance program. Avoid “bumping” of a hoist. With bumping is meant frequently pressing the start and stop button to
adjust the hoist position. Do not load hoist beyond the rated capacity. Overload can cause failure of some load-carrying part or
create a defect causing subsequent failure at less than rated capacity.
Working inside or near powered equipment can result in electric shock: before carrying out any work on
the hoist, always disconnect power supply and make sure that no one can insert the plug again until the task is complete.
When possible, maintenance must be carried out without suspended load; failing this, the area must be
enclosed and monitored and the load must be held by means of a secondary safety component. Do not clean the hoist using a pressure washing device. Keep maintenance and test reports issued by RWM S.r.l. together with the manual. All maintenance, repair, adjustment, cleaning operations must be carried out only by qualified personnel
duly trained and competent, who has fully read and understood this document. Maintenance must be carried out in a safe area whilst using proper tools and safety equipment. In case of poor ambient lighting, install a lamp for local lighting for maintenance interventions or use
adequate portable devices. Replace any cable or wire with like for like items. Use only spare parts identical to those to be replaced or previously authorised by the manufacturer. Follow industrial hygiene rules during cleaning of the machine. In the instance of maintenance work being carried out at height, please ensure the correct access
equipment is employed, and local safety regulations are taken into consideration. No makeshift repairs with the aid of extra pieces or taping are allowed. It is prohibited to warm
equipment with flames, hot air or other instruments in case they are stiffened or blocked. Always wait for parts to cool if the hoist has been running intensively before maintenance.
2.3 SAFETY WARNING FOR INSTALLATION, ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
The hoist must be assembled and disassembled only by authorized and qualified operator. The necessary qualifications for planning, assembly, disassembly, and activation, depend on the degree of risk and the location and type of job.
Operator are required to provide current overload protection and grounding on the branch circuit section in keeping with the code. Check each installation for compliance with the application, operation and maintenance sections of these articles.
16 / 64
This manual gives the necessary information for safe installation, use, and maintenance in a generic working environment. Since it is not possible to foresee all the risk conditions of the working environments in which the hoist will be used, the person responsible for the management and supervision of the installation, assembly and disassembly must produce their own specific risk assessment each time the hoists are used.
The hoist must be tested only by authorised and qualified operator. The person in charge of management and supervision is liable to give his approval to the use of electric chain hoists. Such approval can only be given on condition that the occurred carrying out of the tests is duly proved. Every possible transfer to other users must be documented in writing.
The hoist is equipped with various guards and devices designed to prevent accidents and to ensure the product complies with various safety standards.
2.4 SAFETY WARNING FOR INCORRECT USE
Do not lift people. Using the EXE-Rise chain hoist to carry people is strictly forbidden.
Do not use the hoist if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or functioning in an unusual way or exhibits
unusual or incorrect movement or anomalous noises. Do not use the hoist if the chain is distorted, corroded, damaged, or worn out. Do not make modifications nor apply accessories other than those provided by RWM S.r.l.. Accessories causing overstressing or leading to accidental unexpected overloads or limiting the free
handling of the load, are not allowed. Therefore only lifting accessories that interpose in a passive way
between the equipment and the load are allowed. Do not try to lengthen the lifting chain or repair it if damaged. Do not hit, deform, or crush the hoist chain; danger of cracks or broken links may occur. Do keep the hoist and chain away from open fire or flame. Do not use the lifting chain as sling and do not wrap the chain around the load. Do not put tools or foreign bodies in the links of the chain. Do not place the load on the point or on the spring latch of the hook. Do not perform welding to any component. Do not use the hoist if it is not perfectly efficient, even if it can still function. Do not use the hoist with worn out, open hook or with missing spring latch. Do not lift loads exceeding the maximum working load limit of the hoist (In Motor-down mode the self-
weight of the hoist should be taken into consideration. The self-weight of the hoist should be added to
your payload calculations).
Do not allow the load to swing or twist while lifting. Do not lift the load above people or do not leave hanging loads without the operator’s control and
appropriate measures. Do not use the hoist outdoors or anywhere with water jets or environmental conditions without adequate
protection. The use in explosive, aggressive atmosphere or with high concentration of powders or oily substances
suspended in the air is prohibited. Electrical devices produce arcs or sparks that can cause a fire or
explosion. Do not operate hoist at unusual extremes of ambient temperatures. The product is designed for use in
temperatures ranging between -10°C and +40°C. It is prohibited to tamper with the hoist in order to modify its performances.
17 / 64
Do not remove or tamper with the protective and safety devices Use of the hoist is prohibited to unauthorised operators who are not adequately trained in use of the
hoist and the associated dangers. Do not use of the hoist outside the limits indicated in this document. Make sure the chain is running straight into the hoist body. Any side pull will cause significant wear
and tear on the hoist. Do not apply a lateral load to the body of the hoist. Make sure the pick-up points are always in-line with the hoist. Any side pull will cause an increase in
loading on both the hoist and the structure.
2.5 SAFETY WARNING FOR RESIDUAL RISKS
Residual risks related to a machine are accident risks that remain after the carrying out of all the safety measures taken by the manufacturer (and which therefore must be managed by the user). The most serious residual risks are indicated on the hoists safety labels. These are as listed below (Table 1).

Do not insert the hoist power plug directly into a CEE socket. The hoist may only be powered using suitable control devices, such as EXE-DRIVE controllers. For low voltage controlled hoists, a dedicated controller must be used with an UP/DOWN push-button panel that complies with the wiring diagram provided.
Various types of risks owing to tampering or removal of the safety devices.
It is prohibited to tamper or remove the safety devices
Table 1: “Residual risks”
2.6 SAFETY WARNING FOR ELETRICAL CONNECTION
Before a hoist is connected to its control device the power supply shall be checked for correct voltage. A fluctuation of +/- 10% is allowed. In order to prevent a voltage drop, the user should ensure there is the minimum number of connections as possible in any power cable run. Keep length of power cables as short as possible (see table below) and remove corrosion on the contacting pins of the electrical connectors as it might lead to a voltage drop. In order to minimize the voltage drop between the power source and the hoist the following cable lengths shall be used as maximum (see Table 2).

3.2.1 Model
EXE-Rise Chain hoist models are based on a German standard that differentiates between three types of electric chain hoists:
D8 Hoist
Electric chain hoist according to DGUV 115 (formerly known as BGV D8) "Winches, lifting and pulling
devices") for use as a chain hoist for lifting loads in construction.
D8 Plus Hoist
Electric chain hoist based on DGUV 115 "Winches, lifting and pulling devices" for use as a chain hoist for lifting loads in construction with the special characteristic of being able to hold loads statically above people without the use of secondary safety devices. The types of electric chain hoists specified above can be
operated both individually and in groups. The choice of the type of electric chain hoist depends on the
operating conditions:

Table 5 “Selection criteria for electric chain hoists for moving and holding loads above people”
Local legislation shall be checked for specific regulations. For guidance we refer to the German regulation DGUV 17 (formerly known as BGV) The user could refer to German SQ-P2 code-of-practice for information, which can be obtained at www.igww.org
* Source: IGVW SQ P2 – Electric chain hoists ** For statically indeterminate loads, Load cells shall be used in combination with hoist control. The lifting operation shall be stopped in the event of exceeding the pre-set over- or underload – limits. Values shall be derived from structural analysis of the applied loads
3.2.2 Type of Control
Selection of the hoist also depends on the duty class needed. The duty class refers to the time the hoist can
operate under full load. EXE-Rise chain hoists have a minimum rating of 1Bm and maximum rating of 2m as per FEM classification; See table 6.

Direct control hoists
The terms direct control (DC) and low-voltage controlled (LVC) refer to the system used to manage hoist movement, not to the power supply voltage.
With DC hoists, the travel direction is determined directly by the phase sequence of the three phase power supplied to the red CEE plug fitted (CEE 16A 6h 400 VAC – 3PH). Phase reversing contactors are inside the controller and not inside the hoist. The hoist lifts when the three power phases are in normal sequence and lowers when they are inverted.
DC hoists have an integrated mechanical emergency overload device known as the slip clutch. This slip clutch is adjustable but changes to this device must only be performed by an officially trained and competent person. A chain stop (a two part metal block) is attached to the end of the load chain, 11 links form the end, which prevents the chain from running through the hoist should it overrun the length of the chain.
The chain stop shall be placed 11 links from the end. This gives the user or person carrying out any inspection, access an unloaded length of chain as measuring reference compared to rest of the chain which will have been under load.
Low Voltage Controlled hoist
LVC hoists are fitted with a CEE plug (CEE 16A 6h 400 VAC – 3PH) for three phase power and a yellow CEE plug (CEE 16A 4h 24 VAC – 3PH) for control purposes. The direction signal is given by a low voltage hoist controller and is transmitted along the control cable which activates reversing contactors inside the hoist body. LVC hoists have an integrated mechanical emergency overload device known as the slip clutch. This slip clutch is adjustable but changes to this device must only be performed by an officially trained and competent person.
LVC hoists also have an integrated adjustable electrical limit switch that halts the lifting and lowering operation at pre-set positions. The control signal is a 24 VAC low voltage circuit. These electrical limit switches can be set to limit the chain travel during both lifting and lowering operations.
The factory default settings can be adjusted by altering the position of the “up” and “down” cams. The limit
switches are factory calibrated in such a way as to stop the motor automatically a few links before the chain comes to an end in both directions. After setting the up/down selector, press the start button on the control unit to which the EXE-Rise LVC hoist has been connected. When the external up / down button is selected the control signal activates the contactor inside the hoists and powers the motor, setting the chain in motion in the required direction. The
23 / 64
chain will continue to travel through the hoist in the chosen direction until it reaches a mechanical stop on the chain, or until the electrical limit switch reaches its pre-set end point. Once the limit switch is activated the hoist can only be run by reversing the direction of travel.
Any control unit used to power EXE-Rise LVC hoists must provide an "un-inverted" three phase power supply. An incorrect sequence of phases make the hoist run in a different direction as the limit switch. This will result in damage of the limit switches and potential over run of the chain.
Electric chain hoists are offered in a variety of designs and feature options; as well as with different safety devices. This means that the choice of chain hoist is extremely important. Consideration must be given to risks arising from the nature of the intended operational use and the specific operating conditions.
The selection must be based on the hazards arising from the type of use, taking into account the specific conditions of use whilst abiding to the local laws in the country of use. We strongly advise that the user/operator carries out a risk assessment on which the choice of your hoist shall be based.
3.3 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
Every single component of the EXE-Rise hoist body is manufactured in Italy. The high grade Lifting chain is coming from Germany and complies with the strictest EN and DIN standards relating to lifting in the entertainment industry. The EXE-Rise clutch system is located outside the load path. The DC brakes give a real instant response to electrical impulses thanks to a unique component specifically created for us. The 5­pocket load wheel, helical gears with dynamic lubrication and the precise aluminum chain guide make the EXE-Rise series one of the quietest on the market.

3.3.7 Plugs and Socket
Plugs and sockets are produced from POLYAMIDE 6 as well as PC/ABS. The main characteristics of these materials are:
- excellent impact resistance combined with high rigidity and solidity,
- high thermal stability (self-extinguishing),
- very good insulating qualities,
- high disruptive strength,
- high abrasion resistance,
- high weathering resistance,
- very good chemical resistance to various chemicals,
- free from cadmium and halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, jodine,
astatine),
- black color. Figure 15 “Plug and socket”
3.3.8 Brake
The spring-applied brake is a single-disk brake with two friction surfaces. Several compression springs create the braking torque by friction locking. The brake is released electromagnetically.
Figure 16 “Double brake version”
The spring-applied brake is designed for the conversion of mechanical work and kinetic energy into heat. For operating speed. Due to the static brake torque, the brake can hold loads without speed difference. Emergency braking is possible at high speed. The more friction work, the higher the wear.

3.3.12 EXE-Rise Chain Hoist Controllers
More EXE-Rise Chain hoists shall be operated by controllers designed and specified for this purpose. We advise to use the EXE-DRIVE range controllers for proper use of your EXE-Rise chain hoist.
The use of other brands, in alternative to EXE-DRIVE controllers is not recommended unless they comply with the applicable directives and standards. The controller shall provide the required control and monitoring functions for save operation. The control system must meet the requirements of:
1. EN 60204-32: 2008 Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 32: Requirements for hoisting machines (IEC 60204-32: 2008);
2. 2006/42 / EC - Machinery Directive;
3. 2014/30 / EC - Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive.
Controllers shall be chosen depending on the power consumption of an individual hoist, which can vary, as well as its model (direct control or Low voltage control) or the amount of hoist one would like to control at the same time.
We strongly advise to keep good view on the load being lifted. Using more than two hoist on one load requires much more attention. Based on a risk analysis the user shall identify if the hoist and controllers need additional control options such as Load cells, encoders etc...
In case the controller is equipped with Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), make sure the correct setting of amperage is applied and the correct MCCB.
33 / 64
3.4 SAFETY DEVICE
The hoist is equipped with various guards and devices designed to prevent accidents and to ensure the product complies with various safety standards.
3.4.1 Primary Safety Component
The guards and devices listed below must not be removed by the user. Before operation the user should ensure all guards and devices are present, correctly fitted and have correct setting.
Removal of these guards and safety devices should only be allowed during maintenance by competent and authorised persons and in controlled conditions.
Chain guide plate
EXE Rise chain hoists are fitted with a special plastic chain guide plate that provides various safety functions.
- Prevents accidental contact with the internal moving parts.
- Prevents accidental contact with the internal parts that could reach high temperatures.
- Prevents wear between the chain and internal chain guide.
- Prevents jamming of the chain.
- Helps to reduce the chance of twisted chain entering the hoist.
These chain guides are a consumable item and should be replaced if they become worn. Badly worn plates can be a sign of misuse. Eg. Side loading of the chain.
Hooks
The hooks are equipped with a sprung safety latch that prevents accidental release of loads when applied correctly to the hook. If this spring latch does not engage against the point of the hook correctly, or can fall through the opening of the hook, the hook has overloaded and shall be replaced.
An unloaded hook attached to a lifting point can disengage itself when put under tension. Therefore the hook shall be held under tension manually until loaded
Slip Clutch
The Slip clutch is designed and set up to act in the case of excessive load and therefore only shall be considered as an emergency overload device. If overloaded, it starts to slip and the hoist will not lift. The slip clutch shall never be used as a lifting height limiter.
If the clutch is subject to prolonged slipping it can overheat and become damaged. The clutch should not be allowed to slip continuously for several seconds.
Considering the above statements, these hoists should not be used in an application where a suspended load can be increased by adding additional weight. For example food lifts etc.
34 / 64
Figure 20: Example of securing a load suspended from a tower by means of a locking bar
Figure 21: Example of a secondary safety component attached directly to the load that is being lifted (front view)
Figure 22: Example of a secondary safety component attached directly to the load that is being lifted
3.4.2 Secondary Safety Component
A secondary safety component is a second independent suspension element of equivalent capacity to the primary suspension point, which is intended to prevent the fall of the load should the primary point fail. Some application examples are illustrated here below.
When operating a system according to the German DGUV V54 standard, or if maintenance is required on a hoist that is still suspended, a secondary safety device should be used.
35 / 64
Figure 23: Example of a secondary safety component attached below the hoist, bypassing the hoist lifting mechanism (front view)
Figure 24: Example of a secondary safety component attached below the hoist, bypassing the hoist lifting mechanism (perspective view)
Never use a chain clutch to connect the hoists lifting chain to a safety device. A lateral load to the lifting chain can easily lead to failure.
3.4.3 Safety Conditions
Environmental conditions
To ensure the hoists function correctly, the following environmental conditions shall be observed:
Temperature
Temperature ranging between -10°C and +40°C
Humidity
The relative humidity must not be higher than 50% with maximum temperature of +40°C. A higher relative humidity is allowed al lower temperatures (ex. RH. 90% AT 20°C).
Altitude
Maximum altitude at 3000m
Electromagnetic
environment
The hoist is designed to work correctly in an industrial type electromagnetic environment, falling within the emission and immunity limits provided by the harmonized rules currently in force
Wind
Wind can have a significant influence on the load suspended. The exposed influence shall be considered at all time
Lighting of work place
During the set-up, dismantling and maintenance, it is favourable that the diffusion intensity does not have a value lower than 300 lux. In case of use in environments with poor lighting (typical of the entertainment sector), the localised lighting of the control devices and the intervention area must be arranged.

4. HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
When handling and unpacking the hoist you should use safe handling techniques.
Electric chain hoists must be assembled by qualified personnel. Always refer to your local areas manual lifting directives, as well those mentioned in this manual.
Should the electric chain hoist be destined for operation outdoors then it is necessary to use a protection cover to shield it from the effects of the weather. NB! This can also be protection against fine sand!
4.1 HANDING & TRANSPORTATION
The customer must carefully check if the goods are complete and undamaged upon delivery. Any damage in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. The packaging should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Ensure all routes and areas which are intended for handling are free from obstacles.
When working at height the user should employ relevant and suitable access and safety equipment.
Lifting, shifting and handling operations must be carried out by trained personnel. Do not halt, for any reason, below suspended loads during lifting operations.
The package contains a label on the front and on the back side, reporting serial number, code, description and number of pieces of EXE-Rise chain hoist. It means you have a chance of reading all labels when they are stacked on a pallet as opposed to no chance if the labels are on top. The follow figure is an example of packing label.
Figure 29: EXE-Technology package label
42 / 64
4.2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
- It is advised to transport the electric chain hoist in its original packaging or a dedicated flight case.
- Before putting your EXE Rise hoist in storage make sure all components are dry
- Use flight cases with ventilation openings for all compartments
- Keep the chain oiled to prevent corrosion
- Do not stack carton boxes in which the hoist comes from the factory higher than two
- Provide a clip on attachment point for the lift chain hook in the flight case. This minimises the risk of chain becoming entangled during transport.
- When air freighted the pressure inside the hoist can increases and cause leakage of oil/grease. This is temporary effect caused by difference in air pressure.
A Banksman should be present when moving goods with machinery such as lift trucks.
Packaging such as plastic bags, expanded polystyrene must not be released to the environment but must be
kept in order to pack again the hoist after using it.
4.2.1 Packaging storage
The goods are packaged in a way that offer protection from damage. This packaging should be stored in a dry environment away from moisture, heat and temperatures from 10degrees Celsius up to 40degrees Celsius
Should the hoist not be operated immediately, it is recommended to store it inside its packaging, in a covered, dry and clean area, away from heat sources that might jeopardise its integrity.
4.2.2 Unpacking and ground handling of the hoist
Remove the hoist from its packaging. Lift the hoist by the handles.
- Check that the packaging label information are the same as those on the hoist plate.
- Check that the hoist has not suffered damage arising from an inadequate transport. Perform the following checks;
- Make sure the plugs and cables are undamaged
- Check integrity of the hoist metal housing
- No cracks or dents must be present
- All casing screws should be present and tight
- Check for water ingress.
- Check that the sprung latches on the hooks are present and functioning correctly.
- Check chain bag for damage.
- Inspect the load chains for dents or notches
If a damage arising from shipment has been detected please refer to the accompanying document envelope on the box for the claim procedure.
Possible claims related to hoist damages must be presented within 8 days from receipt of the goods; in any case it must be pointed out that the hoist is subject to an accurate inspection in every part before being packed and shipped to the customer. Place the hoist on the ground and attach the chain bag; make sure that the screw closures of the bag connecting links have been correctly closed.
43 / 64
4.3 SUSPENDING THE HOIST
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure all hanging points, lifting hardware and control systems are inspected and tested prior before use.
Cables must be placed in such a way that they do not come into contact with sharp edges and do not run the risk to be cut off or damaged. Cables must not be placed under tension.
4.3.1 Mounting the hoist “motor-down” (self-climbing mode)
1. Move the hoist in the required location whilst still in its packaging.
2. Connect the hoist to its control system.
3. For the first installation run the complete chain through the hoist and back. This way correct storage of the chain in the bag or chain container is guaranteed
4. Connect the hook end of the chain to the fixing point at height. The hoist can then be operated and run up to a working height position where the load to be connected.
4.3.2 Mounting the hoist in “motor-up“ position
5. Use an appropriate method of lifting the hoist body and attach the anchorage hook to the point of the structure.
6. Connect the hook on the hoist body to the suspension point.
7. Connect the hoist to its control system.
8. For the first installation run the complete chain through the hoist and back. This ensures the chain will be correctly stored in the chain bag.
9. Lower the lifting chain to its required height

4.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before connecting the hoist to the power supply, check that voltage and power of the electric supply corresponds to those reported on the chain hoist plate. Check also that the earthing system is efficient.
Do not insert the plug of the hoist directly into a power socket. Only use a dedicated chain hoist controller.
Installers must equip the branch circuit with a grounding system, protection against current overloads and short circuits that comply with the requirements of the laws on safety and health protection on work place of the Country where the hoist is installed.
In order to avoid risk of electrocution and malfunction, check that all cables powering the hoist are protected against possible external damages. EXE Rise chain hoists are available in both direct and low voltage control. They must be connected to a power and control system that is suitably designed to operate the chain hoists and handle the power consumption of the motor. EXE Rise hoists are factory set to be run with a voltage of 400 V AC. The DC hoist is fitted with a CEE 16A 6h 400VAC – 3PH +G black plug. plug as standard. The LVC hoist comes with a CEE 16A 4h 110VAC ­3PH +G black socket.

When power extension cords CEE 16A 6h 400VAC – 3PH +G and / or Control extensions CEE 16A 4h 110VAC - 3PH +G are used, you must make sure that the electrical connections have been made according to the rules respecting the position of PIN to PIN for each pole plugs and sockets (L1-L1, L2-L2; L3-L3, PE-PE). Incorrect wiring means that the hoist does not perform its function.
Do not insert the plug of the hoist directly into a power socket. Only use a dedicated chain hoist controller. The chain hoist EXE-Rise LVC must only be connected electrically to a motor controller compatible to command EXE- Rise LVC.
5. USE
STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use the hoist when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that can cause diminished control.
Improper operation of the hoist can create a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injuries. Permit only authorised and qualified personnel to operate the unit. Do not use the hoist or any other overhead materials handling equipment for lifting persons.
Do not use the hoist unless it is perfectly efficient, even if the hoist still operates. Do not use the emergency stop button to habitually stop hoist motion. Do not carry out operations or manoeuvres on one’s own initiative that do not fall within one’s area of
expertise and can compromise the safety of everyone. Do not wear loose fitting clothes as these can get entangled in moving parts. Do pay attention at all times when operating the hoist. Do ensure the chain container is not obstructed in any way. Do stay clear of moving chains. Do ensure chain is lubricated at all times. Call your EXE Rise supplier if the hoist does not work properly.
If damaged or worn parts are detected do not use the hoist. Seek assistance for service of the unit.
During the movement of the load always appoint a responsible person to monitor and ensure the load is safe. If the load encounters any obstruction stop movement immediately. If the load is being moved on multiple hoists a safe operating procedure must be pre-defined.
Limit switch adjustment for LVC models: The device is calibrated in a standard way at the factory. Official trained and competent operators can adjust it according to their specific needs.
46 / 64
5.1 ATTACHING AND MOVING THE LOAD
1. Insert the lifting hook into the load pick-up point.
2. Make sure chain travel is in the same direction as shown on the controls.
3. Check to be sure that the attachments to the load hook are firmly seated. Make sure the hook latches are closed and not supporting any part of the load.
4. Check to ensure that the load point is in line with the hoist head. WHEN APPLYING A LOAD, IT MUST BE DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE HOIST. AVOID OFF CENTRE LOADING OF ANY KIND.
5. Make sure the load has enough room to be free to move: no obstructions must be present along its travel.
6. Make sure no other sound than the hoist can be heard
7. Have a clear view on the load. Other wise use spotters with appropriate means of communication. They shall be in direct contact with the operator
8. Select each hoist one by one and move it just that far that it is under tension and pick up the load
9. Before moving the load check for twists in the load chain.
10. Level the load before lifting.
11. Select the travel direction of all hoist connected to the load
12. Move the load by operating the go button of the associated controller.
13. Raise the load only enough to check the attachments to the hook and load are firmly seated.
14. Move the load slowly to avoid shock and jerking of load chain. If there is any evidence of overloading, immediately lower the load and remove the excess load.
15. Stop at intermediate heights to check if the structure is still in the required position
16. When the hoist is are at trim height apply a secondary safety if required. Follow the instructions as given in the chapter “safety instructions”
17. Switch of the hoist main circuit breaker to avoid un intended operation
5.2 LOWERING AND DISCONNECTING THE LOAD
It shall be noted that lowering a load suspended on multiple hoist incorporates many more risk of overload as lifting.
If one hoist is not following the lift sequence it is very likely it immediate is overloading itself, its suspension point and the pickup point at the load:
1. Switch on the main circuit breaker of the hoist controller
2. Check if the travel path of the load is free of obstructions
3. Clear the area from people
4. Make sure no other sound than the hoist can be heard
5. Select the operation direction to “down” for each hoist connected to the load
6. Have a clear view on the load. Other wise use spotters with appropriate means of communication. They shall be in direct contact with the operator
7. Activate all hoist by pressing the “Go” button
8. Check if all hoist are running. If not lift the load to its original position and solve the problem
9. Lower the load till the hoist are un loaded
10. Remove the hoist from their load. Use if possible its own lifting chain to place it back in its flight case.
11. Disconnect the power supply from the hoist
12. Disconnect the lifting chain
13. Make sure the chain is fed back in the chain bag in an appropriate way without getting entangled.

Check the chain runs smoothly through the hoist
Check all functions of the controller
50 / 64
6.2 FREQUENT AND PERIODICAL INSPECTION
Here the term inspection refers to the visual examination of the hoist and its accessories. In order to keep a continuous and satisfactory operation inspection intervals must be determined by the individual application and are based on the type of service to which the hoist will be subjected and the degree of exposure to wear, deterioration or malfunction of the critical components. Check periodically that all the labels are present and legible on the hoist.
In addition to the suggested inspection program below, please also refer to the local regulations relating to lifting machinery. Appropriate actions as an outcome of the inspection and testing regime can be found in the chapter “maintenance “
The type of service to which the hoist is subjected can be classified as "Normal", "Heavy", or "Severe".
Normal Service: Involves operation with randomly distributed loads within the rated load limit, or
uniform loads less than 65% of rated load for not more than 25% of the time.
Heavy Service: Involves operating the hoist within the rated load limit which exceeds normal service. Severe Service: Normal or heavy service with abnormal operating conditions.
Two classes of inspections – frequent and periodic – can be performed
Frequent Inspections: These inspections are visual examinations by the operator or other designated
personnel. Records of such inspections are not required. The frequent inspections are to be performed monthly for normal service, weekly to monthly for heavy service, and daily to weekly for severe service, and they should include those items listed in Table 14.
Periodic Inspections: These inspections are visual inspections of external conditions by an appointed
person. Records of periodic inspections are to be kept for continuing evaluation of the condition of the hoist. Periodic inspections are to be performed yearly for normal service, every six months for heavy service and quarterly for severe service, and they are to include those items listed in Table 15.
Any deficiencies are to be corrected before the hoist is returned to service. Be aware that the external conditions may show the need for more detailed inspections, which, in turn, may require the use of non­destructive type testing.

6.2.1 Chain Inspection
Chain should feed smoothly into and away from the hoist or hook block. If chain binds, jumps or is noisy, first clean and lubricate it. If trouble persists, inspect chain and mating parts for wear, distortion or other damage.
The chain stop at the end of each lifting chain shall be placed at 11 links from the “dead end”. This dead end
is your reference for chain defaults as it never will be subject to load or wear and tear.
Lubrication:
Chain should always be kept well lubricated. No chain link may be overlooked as this can lead to premature wear. Change-over links especially should be lubricated. Change-over links are those links which stop on, resp. immediately at the inlet of the drive and reversing wheels at constant stroke when switching from lifting to lowering. Beside the contact point of 2 links need sufficient lubrication.
Inspecting the chain and chain wheel:
The chain must be inspected at regular intervals, but at least once annually, in accordance with the stipulations of ISO 7592 and the valid accident prevention regulations in the country of use. As the frequency of use increases, the chain inspection program should be reviewed and carried out at more regular intervals. Increased use will mean wear, corrosion, the effects of the heat and greater susceptibility to faults occur.
The inspection includes detecting surface damage of the links such as deformation, cracks, wear and corrosion. The choice of a suitable lubricant is dependent on the operating environment. Please contact RWM for recommendations of appropriate lubricants.
For usage a high pressure resistant lubricant will suffice.
During inspection, the chains must be examined along their entire length, including the hidden parts. If the lifting equipment is frequently used with a constant lifting distance or if switchover from upward to downward often takes place in the same area, a particularly thorough inspection and lubrication is required in this switch-over area. Together with the chain the wheels, chain guide and fixing parts should be inspected for damage, corrosion, abnormal area of wear or other defects.
52 / 64
Particular attention should be paid to the condition of all bolts and safety components. If defects are discovered the hoist must be taken out of service and repaired immediately. TIP! To detect surface damage and deformations on the external surfaces of the links, use a piece of cotton fabric and pull the chain through. Any surface damage such as nicks or cracks will hook catch on the fibres of the fabric and thus can be easily detected.
Discard criteria of chain:
The chain must be replaced if the average wire diameter (dm) has been reduced due to wear by more than 10% of the nominal thickness at any point on the chain link. The average wire diameter dm=(d1+d2):2 0.9d, whereby the average wire diameter (dm) is calculated from two individual values d1 and d2 measured rotated through 90° with respect to each other. The chain must be replaced if a single chain link is permanently lengthened or if the inner pitch t of the individual link has increased in size by more than 5% as a result of wear. The chain must also be replaced if the inner pitch 11t has increased in size by more than 2% along a measuring section of 11 chain links. The lubricant shall sit at the contact points between to chain links as this part is subject to the utmost wear and tear
Chain wheel inspection:
If the chain is found to have reached the point of wear of 2% pitch enlargement (over 11t), the lift wheels must be inspected carefully. Damaged wheels have to be replaced together with the chain. If no severe wear has occurred to the lift wheel pockets the lift wheels do not have to be replaced.
External chain guide inspection:
The external chain guide helps feed the chain properly into the lift wheel. Its shape is specially designed in order to disentangle chain before entering the hoist.
Excessive wear makes to the guide reduces its functionality. Wear that is apparent on one side of the chain guide clearly indicates side pull on a loaded hoist. In both cases the chain guide shall be replaced.
Figure 36: “External chain guide plate”
53 / 64
6.2.2 Hook Inspection
Hooks damaged from chemicals, deformations, cracks or which have a 10° twist from the hook’s unbent
plane must be replaced.
If the throat of the hook is deformed or has excessively opened enough to allow the latch to not engage with the tip of the hook correctly, it must be replaced. Any hook that is twisted or has excessive opening indicates abuse or overloading of the unit. Inspect other load sustaining parts, hook block screws, load pins and chain block body for damage.
Check and inspect that the spring latch is not damaged or bent and that it operates properly with sufficient spring pressure to keep the latch tightly closed against the tip of the hook and allow the latch to spring back to the tip when released.
If the latch does not operate properly, it should be replaced. The check on the max hook opening allowed see drawings and dimensions below.
6.2.3 Chain Bag Inspection
Chain bags should be inspected for signs of excessive wear and tear to the fabric of the bag and the attachment loops. Damaged bags shall be replaced at all times.
Chain bags shall be filled to a maximum of 75% .
Chain bags shall be suspended by Quicklinks or Carabiners made according to DIN 56927 or equivalent standard. They shall have a 5:1 safety factor as suitable for overhead suspension. Some bags are supplied with a suitable rated captive spring hook. Only rated hooks supplied by RWM should be used.
Any attaching devices should also be inspected. Danged or worn devices should be discarded immediately and replace.
6.3 PERIODICAL CONTROLS
The hoist must be tested as often as deemed necessary, based on usage logs, or at least once a year. Testing should be carried out by an authorised expert. In case of heavy services or intensive use, the user must carry out additional extraordinary testing based on his own risk evaluation. Periodic testing must be carried out by the authorised RWM maintenance service engineer. Testing shall consist of lifting a dynamic load in order to test the functioning and setting of the slip clutch and the brake.
In addition, the slipping properties of the clutch and brake can be affected by, but not limited to, the position of the pocket wheel, operation in extreme temperatures (above 65dgr. Celsius or below -10dgr. Celsius), humidity or fluctuations in the friction material. This could lead different values of the clutch setting as seen on the initial test report.
The clutch settings of the EXE RISE hoist are set at 120% of the nominal load to meet the German standards for the use of hoists above people. Due to the nature of the clutches and the above conditions, these settings can vary easily by +/- 10%... The testing shall be performed with a suspended load of 120% of the maximum WLL. Other countries may have different regulations. However, clutch settings shall remain in between 110% and 160% at all times (EN14992-2).
54 / 64
6.4 EXTRAORDINARY INSPECTION
In case of extraordinary events which can jeopardise the safety of the working equipment, extraordinary testing must be carried out. In particular, extraordinary events include accidents, modifications to the hoist, prolonged downtime periods and natural phenomena.
Testing must be carried out only by authorised personnel, duly authorised for the purpose.
In addition to the above inspection and testing procedure, a preventive maintenance program should be established to prolong the useful life of the hoist and maintain its reliability and continued safe use. The program should include the periodic and frequent inspections with particular attention being paid to the lubrication of the various components using the recommended lubricants.
55 / 64
7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Visual inspection and testing of the hoist and lubricating the chain are the only interventions that should be undertaken by the user of the hoist.
All other maintenance, replacement, adjustment interventions that involve the opening of the hoist housing should only be carried out by RWM authorised service engineers.
The hoist must therefore be delivered to RWM authorised centre that will issue special control and
maintenance reports.
Maintenance and service are preventive measures designed to preserve the full functionality of electric chain
hoists. Non-compliance with maintenance and service routines can result in reduction in the useful function of and/or damage to chain hoists.
Maintenance work encompasses visual checks and cleaning routines. Service work includes additional functional checks. During the functional checks, all securing elements and cable clamps must be checked for
secure seating.
During maintenance and service work, general accident prevention directions, special safety directions as well as hazard protection instructions should be followed.
Before carrying out any kind of maintenance, repair, cleaning or any activity that requires a manual intervention on the machine, disconnect the power supply to the hoist. Ensure the power cannot be re-connected to the hoist be securing or clearly marking the plug “do not connect”.
7.1 CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Use of commercial or other manufacturers’ chain and spare parts to repair the hoist may cause load loss. Use only chains supplied by the manufacturer.
The valid accident prevention regulations and the stipulations of ISO 7592 must be observed during all maintenance work.
7.1.1 Cleaning Chain
Clean the load chain with acid-free solvent and coat with new high pressure oil. Wipe excess oil to prevent dripping. Never apply grease to the chain.
7.1.2 Lubrication of Chain
Lubricated chain has a much higher (15-20 times) lifecycle than a dry chain. We recommend to lubricate the chain along its entire length before putting into operation. It must be ensured that all chain links are lubricated. During lubrication, ensure that the lubricant penetrates into connection point between chain links. This spot is most susceptible to wear. Change-over link should be lubricated especially careful. Change-over
56 / 64
links are those links which stop on, resp. immediately at the inlet of the drive and reversing wheels at constant stroke when switching from lifting to lowering. These chain links are charged especially heavy by dynamic vibrations and have therefore to be lubricated carefully in shorter intervals. The choice of a suitable lubricant is dependent from the operating place and the existent environment conditions. An appropriate lubricant recommendation can be inquired by RWM. For average applications a high pressure resistant lubricant will do.
7.2 BRAKE AND LIMIT SWITCH MAINTENANCE / ADJUSTMENT
EXE-Rise chain hoist are equipped with an INTORQ brake.
1. Measure the rotor thickness of the brake by means of a Vernier Caliper gauge. (See table below for allowable Values)
2. If required, exchange the entire rotor. See chapter “SPARE PART “ for further instruction.
3. Check the air gap ”sL” near the fixing screws between the armature plate and stator using afeeler gauge.
4. Compare air gap measured to maximally permissible air gap ”sL max.”, (see table below)
5. If required, set air gap to ”sLN”
Figure 37: “Brake components” Any intervention on the brake is prohibited. Only RWM authorised service engineers are allowed to carry out maintenance work on brakes.
57 / 64
7.3 CLUTCH AND GREAR BOX MAINTENANCE / ADJUSTMENT
Any intervention on the clutch is prohibited. Only RWM authorised service engineers are allowed to carry out maintenance work on clutches.
Do not use any kind of fluid or spray which causes a lubrication effect on the clutch friction disk. For cleaning use a resolving agent suitable for the application.
