vision and depth perception. The hoist operator must
be carefully instructed in his duties and must
understand operation of hoist, including a study of the
manufacturer’s literature. The operator must be aware
of proper methods of rigging loads and should have a
good attitude regarding safety. It is the operator’s
responsibility to refuse to operate hoist under unsafe

Pendant Operation (Push
Button Type)
The pendant is a remote control that allows the
operator to control the positioning of a load. The Accu-
Trol
®
Pendant is available with 4 or 6 buttons. Refer to
Accu-Trol
®
Pendant manual form number MHD56014
for additional information. A four-function pendant will
control trolley movement along the support beam and
hoist operation. A six function pendant would include
the above movements plus control a bridge assembly
allowing hoist movement in four directions. Always
apply smooth even pressure during operation, avoid
quick starts and abrupt stops. This will allow smoother
control of suspended loads and reduce undue stress on
components.

immediately stop all operations of the trolley and hoist.
The Emergency Stop button will remain depressed
after activation. To reset Emergency Stop button, twist
(rotate) Emergency Stop button clockwise until button
