Motor brake “buzz”(anytime hoist is running)
TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued)
1. Brake needs adjustment 1. See BRAKE ADJUSTMENT, page 9.
2. Low voltage 2. Check voltage at the hoist reversing contactor while the hoist is lifting a load.Voltage should be no less than 90% of
the voltage specified.115 volt hoists are particularly subject to voltage drop problems due to their high current draw.
Conversion to 230 volt operation is suggested in extreme cases.
Motor brake noise or chatter (while starting hoist)
