state, and local regulations. Also, the hoist should not be used to lift and haul any
load that exceeds the load rating of any of the individual components of the
completed chassis (tires, axles, suspension, etc.)
The clear frame dimension indicated in the picture above allows for the overall length of
the hoist plus 5 inches for cab clearance and rear light bar mounting. Extra frame length
may be needed to allow for mounting additional accessories (e.g. Cab Guard, Tarper,
Light Kit, etc.). For example, when mounting a light kit on a truck with a long CA,
check that the hoist and the light kit are positioned far enough back to eliminate any
interference between the fender and the light kit. You should also consider the final
weight distribution with regard to the bridge code when positioning the hoist.

There are three types of mount brackets used on the Model SL-330 hoist as indicated in
Figure C or Drawing No. 42H96. They are the spring mount brackets (40H31), and the
front mount brackets (Pt. No. 81H23), and the rear mount brackets (Pt. No. 81H24).
Locate the mount brackets on the side of the hoist as indicated in Figure B. These
dimensions are flexible because of possible interference with chassis components. Also
allow for mounting the control valve assembly and the hydraulic tank. You should
consult the truck chassis supplier for any limitations regarding drilling mount holes in the
truck chassis frame rails. Typically, the holes must be at least 2 ¾” from the top of the
truck chassis rails (Reference figure D, E, & F).
Once the locations of the mount brackets have been determined, use the mount brackets
as a template for marking the mounting holes in the truck chassis frame rails. Drill the
21/32 diameter holes required and attach the brackets to the truck chassis with the 5/8-
inch diameter bolts, washers, and locking hex nuts provided. Torque to 220 ft.lbs.
