Setting various times for low clearance manual hoists typically involves adjusting parameters related to the hoist's operation, such as lifting speed, lowering speed, and possibly dwell times at certain positions. Here’s a general guide on how you might approach this, though specific steps can vary based on the hoist model and manufacturer:

1. Understand the Hoist Controls

Manual Controls: Most low clearance manual hoists have a hand chain or lever for lifting and lowering. Some may have additional controls for speed adjustment or braking.

Electrical Controls (if applicable): If the hoist is equipped with an electric motor for assisted lifting or lowering, there may be control panels or remote controllers for adjusting speed and timing.

2. Adjusting Lifting and Lowering Speed

Mechanical Adjustments: For purely manual hoists, the speed is typically controlled by the operator's effort on the hand chain or lever. There may be no direct "time" setting, but the operator can control the rate of lift or lower.

Electric Hoists: If the hoist is electric, look for speed control knobs, dials, or digital interfaces that allow you to set the lifting and lowering speeds. These may be labeled in terms of meters per minute (m/min) or feet per minute (ft/min).

3. Setting Dwell Times (if applicable)

Some hoists, especially those used in automated or semi-automated systems, may have the ability to set dwell times (pauses) at certain positions during the lift or lower cycle. This is more common in electric or pneumatic hoists with programmable controllers.

Programmable Controllers: If your hoist has a programmable logic controller (PLC) or a similar device, you may need to access the programming interface to set dwell times. This usually involves entering specific time values for each step of the hoist's operation.

4. Safety Considerations

Load Limits: Always ensure that the hoist is not overloaded, as this can affect the hoist's performance and safety.

Emergency Stops: Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the emergency stop button or lever. This should be easily accessible in case of an emergency.

Regular Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the hoist to ensure that all components are in good working order. This includes checking the brakes, chains, gears, and electrical connections (if applicable).

5. Consult the Manual

Manufacturer's Instructions: The most accurate and detailed information on how to set times and adjust parameters for your specific hoist model will be found in the manufacturer's instruction manual. Refer to this manual for model-specific guidance.

Technical Support: If you are unsure about any aspect of the hoist's operation or adjustment, contact the manufacturer's technical support team for assistance.

6. Training and Familiarization

Operator Training: Ensure that all operators are properly trained on the use of the hoist, including how to adjust speeds and times (if applicable).

Practice: Allow operators to practice adjusting the hoist's settings in a controlled environment before using it in a live work setting.
