CAUTION
If using a customer supplied I-Beam, the outboard end of the beam must have a welded, capped end
to prevent the hoist from rolling off the end of the I-Beam.
Installing an I-Beam on Scaffold Using Suspension Brackets
1. Place one saddle (A) over the center of each of the scaffold frames. The holes
in the saddles should line up. Two sets of holes in each saddle allow for
variations in scaffold frames.
2. Connect one mounting bracket (B) at the location on the I-Beam to match up
with the saddle connecting point.
3. Raise both ends of the I-Beam (C) to the under side of the saddles (A). Make
sure the capped end is at the outward end of the scaffold.
4. Insert the pins and keepers (D) into the same set of holes on each saddle.
5. Once hoist is mounted, insert inboard end retaining pin (E).
NOTE: Check the I-Beam with a level. If the I-Beam is not level, adjust until it is
level. Unit must be level for correct hoist operation.
NOTE: I-Beam cantilevers should never exceed 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length.
