Operation

3.1

Tool Positioning

Attach tool complete with hose or cable and fittings. To 
adjust length of overhang, remove all tension and position 
hook at desired height. Loosen cable stop, slide cable stop 
upward to cable guide and tighten. Lengthening overhang of 
cable will reduce active travel distance. An extension cable 
can be used to extend the overhang without reducing the 
active travel.

3.2

Spring Tension Adjustment

Attach load before adjusting tension. If the tool attached to 
the takeup reel cable descends freely, there is not enough 
takeup reel mainspring tension Turn the tension knob 
clockwise to increase tension. Ensure the knob ratchet 
engages with housing before releasing knob. If the cable 
stop is tight against the cable guide, there is too much 
tension on the takeup reel mainspring. To decrease tension 
pull tension knob out and turn counterclockwise ensuring 
teeth engagement before releasing knob.

CAUTION

Failure to hold knob firmly when detensioning 
could result in rapid rotation of knob and 
damage to internal components.

After adjusting tension, extend cable to full stroke. If full 
stroke is not achieved (after allowing for overhang 
adjustments), tension must be relieved. If proper tension and 
extension cannot be achieved, consult the factory.

WARNING

Do not disassemble this unit. Opening this 
unit could result in property damage, serious 
injury or death. For service, consult factory.
