Checking the friction clutch

 

To test the friction clutch, the slip force test unit must be available. Be sure to observe the product manual of the slip force test unit.

 

*   Hang the slip force test unit in the chain about 20 cm beneath the chain hoist.

*   Lift at a slow lifting speed until the slip force test unit is run under the chain hoist and the friction clutch responds.

*   Read off the measured value on the slip force test unit.

*   If the displayed value deviates from the range of 1.3 to 1.4 times the maximum load capacity: Adjust the friction clutch; see page 73.

*   Hook up a test load with the maximum load capacity of the chain hoist and raise it.
