General Matters on Periodic Inspection

■
■General Matters on Handling of Dual Speed VFD Model
The Dual Speed VFD model is controlled by VFD for important items related to safety such as operation, braking and
emergency stop. Be sure to follow the safety precautions below as well as the above safety precautions.

DANGER
•• Do not reassemble the Dual Speed VFD model to contactor type.
•• Do not change parameters.
When parameters need to be changed, ask distributor or KITO.
Prohibited
•• Do not carry out the work such as maintenance and inspection within 5 minutes after power off.
Wait for the completion of discharging of the capacitor inside the VFD and DPC.
•• Do not change the connection of the VFD and DPC.
When the wires were removed for any reason, connect them again correctly checking the wiring diagram inside the
controller cover.
•• Do not carry out withstand voltage test and insulation resistance measurement of a circuit by megger while the VFD is connected.
•• Do not turn off the power while operating.
•• Never turn off the power when a load is suspended.
Never, under any circumstances, turn off the power when a load is suspended. Doing so will cause the load to be
slightly lowered after the power is turned on again due to control system initial preparation.

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in death or serious injury and the damage of VFD and DPC.

•• USE KITO genuine VFD and DPC.

The VFD and DPC requires the special specification for KITO. Be sure to use genuine VFD and DPC.

Mandatory Failure to comply with this instruction may result in death or serious injury.

Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
■
■General Matters on Failure Cause and Countermeasure
DANGER
•• Do not disassemble or repair the electric chain hoist by the personnel other than maintenance engineer.
“Disassembling/Assembling Manual” and “Parts List” are provided separately for the maintenance. Disassembling and
repair must be performed by the maintenance engineer in accordance with these materials for maintenance.
Prohibited
Failure to comply with this content may result in death or serious injury.

•• When replacing the part, be sure to use the genuine part for KITO electric chain hoist EQS and EQSSP.
Even if the part is the KITO genuine part, the part for different model may not be used. Use the correct part in
accordance with separate “Disassembling/Assembling Manual”.
Safety Precautions

Mandatory •• When any abnormality is observed during the repair (maintenance) of the electric chain hoist, survey the cause by
the maintenance engineer and carry out the repair.
•• Be sure to keep the following when repairing the electric chain hoist:
•• Be sure to turn off the power.
•• Be sure to indicate “CHECKING”.
•• Carry out the repair without lifting a load.
•• Be sure to pay attention to the change of the operating sound of electric chain hoist and trolley.
The change of operating sound is an important factor to judge the failure.

Failure to comply with this content may result in death or serious injury.

■General Matters on Handling of Dual Speed VFD Model
The Dual Speed VFD model is controlled by VFD for important items related to safety such as operation, braking and
emergency stop. Be sure to follow the safety precautions below as well as the above safety precautions.

DANGER
•• Do not reassemble the Dual Speed VFD model to contactor type.
•• Do not change parameters.
When parameters need to be changed, ask distributor or KITO.
Prohibited
•• Do not carry out the work such as maintenance and inspection within 5 minutes after power off.
Wait for the completion of discharging of the capacitor inside the VFD and DPC.

Safety Precautions
•• Fan Cover becomes very hot during operation. Do not touch it.
•• Do not touch the Fan Cover within 30 minutes after the operation.
•• Do not change the connection of the VFD and DPC.
When the wires were removed for any reason, connect them again correctly checking the wiring diagram inside the
controller cover.
•• Do not carry out withstand voltage test and insulation resistance measurement of a circuit by megger while
the VFD is connected.
•• Do not turn off the power while operating.
•• Never turn off the power when a load is suspended.
Never, under any circumstances, turn off the power when a load is suspended. Doing so will cause the load to be
slightly lowered after the power is turned on again due to control system initial preparation. 3
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in death or serious injury and the damage of VFD and DPC.

General Matters on Handling of Dual Speed VFD Model

•• USE KITO genuine VFD and DPC.
The VFD and DPC requires the special specification for KITO. Be sure to use genuine VFD and DPC.

Mandatory Failure to comply with this instruction may result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
•• Do not connect the three phrase power supply to the inverter with power supplied to the DPC primary side.
Otherwise it causes damage or flaw of the electric chain hoist, bodily injury or loss of property due to the drop of the
Prohibited lifted load.

•• Check that the power supply (three phase, single phase) is not mistaken before connecting it.
•• Check visually to make sure there is no poor connection with the terminals or disconnections due to the
wire getting caught in the controller cover.
