GETTING STARTED
Structural Requirements
Make sure all supporting structures and load attaching devices are
strong enough to hold your intended loads. If in doubt, consult a
qualified structural engineer.
Electrical Requirements
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
Tools Needed
Standard mechanic’s hand tool set.

reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals;
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear
OSHA/NIOSH
