c. After the hook is in the desired position, slide the
suspension adapter into cavity on top of hoist and
secure it using the suspension adapter screw from
the kit. Tighten screw to a seating torque of 16
pound feet (22 NM).
NOTE: INSTALL BREATHER IN MAIN HOUSING
AFTER HOOK SUSPENSION IS ASSEMBLED TO HOIST.

3, 4 and 5 Ton Double Reeved and 5 and 6 Ton
Triple Reeved Units.
As shipped from the factory, the
hook is rigid with the plane of the hook parallel to
long axis of hoist. The hook can be changed to swivel
type or the plane of the hook can be changed to per-
pendicular to the long axis of the hoist as follows:
a.
If a swivel type hook is required, remove and discard
keeper plate screw and keeper plate. Then using a
hammer, drive the hook nut pin into nut so that
the end of the pin is flush with side of the nut.
b. If it is necessary to position the hook so that the
plane of the hook is perpendicular to long axis of
hoist, first convert to a swivel type hook as
described above but do not discard the keeper
plate and screw. Turn hook 90 degrees and insert
loose pin (packed with the suspension) into a hole
in the hook nut. Loosely reassemble keeper plate
to suspension adapter so that the hook is free to
swivel approximately 45 degrees in either direction.
The hook will be made rigid after suspension is attached
to the hoist.
Attach the “XL” label, from the kit, to counterweight in
the recess provided for same.
2.
2 Ton Single Reeved Units.
As shipped from the facto
ry, the hook is rigid with the plane of the hook parallel
to the long axis of the hoist. The hook can be changed
to swivel type or the plane of the hook can be changed
to perpendicular to the long axis of the hoist as follows:
a.
If a swivel type hook is required, use a 1/4 inch
(6.4 mm) drift, and working through the hole
in the side of the suspension adapter, drive the
hook nut pin into the nut so that it is flush
with the side of the nut. Discard the loose pin
packed with the suspension.
b.
If it is necessary to position the hook so that the
plane of the hook is perpendicular to the long
axis of hoist, first convert to a swivel type hook as
described above. Rotate the hook 90 degrees and
slide the loose pin (packed with the suspension)
through the hole in the side of the suspension
adapter and engage the hole in the hook nut.
