operation. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
5.0 Unpacking
Open shipping container and check for shipping
damage. Report any damage immediately to your
distributor and shipping agent. Do not discard any
shipping material until the Trolley is assembled and
running properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly
for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.

6.0 Installation & Assembly
The MT Series trolley is designed to run on
standard “
I
” beams, wide-flanged “H” beams, or
curved track with a minimum radius shown in the
chart in sect. 5.0.
6.1 Mount trolley to beam
The trolley is heavy; use an
assistant or a lifting device to help stabilize it
while you assemble it to the beam.
Note: Mount the trolley to the beam first before
mounting a hoist to it.
1. Measure the width of the beam flange on
which the trolley will operate. This is important
as beam flanges may vary in width. See sect.
4.1 for the beam width range for your specific
trolley.
2. Determine the arrangement of spacer washers
between the trolley side frames based upon
the measurement. Spacers must be moved in
sets of two to maintain centerline of trolley.
Distance between trackwheel flanges should
be 1/8- to 2-inches (3 to 5mm) greater than the
beam flange width for straight runway beams,
and 3/16- to 9/32-inches (5 to 7mm) for
sharply curved beams.
3. Loosely assemble side frames, position tubes,
spacer washers and nuts on the stay bolts.
See Figure 6-1.
4. Install the trolley on the beam by sliding one
side plate out enough to allow trackwheels to
clear the beam.
5. Make sure the trackwheels are riding on the
beam, and draw the side plates together.
Tighten the nuts securely.
Note: If the trolley sits at a slight angle, this is
normal. The weight of the hoist or load will
level it to horizontal.
Figure 6-1
End stops must be installed at the exposed ends of
a beam. These will be contacted by the rubber
bumpers on the trolley to help cushion impact.
Open-end beams must have
the proper end stops installed to prevent the
trolley from running off the beam. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury and/or
property damage.
6.2 Mount hoist to trolley
This trolley has been designed to accommodate
the JET TS-Series Hoist. They can be connected
so that one pendant cord and power cord will
operate both trolley and hoist. Make sure the hoist
has been set to the same voltage specifications as
the trolley, and matches the size and load capacity
of the hoist that will be connected to it.
1. The trolley has been assembled to the beam.
However, the trolley should also be stabilized
by
an additional support system, such as
chains, until the hoist mounting system is
completed. See Figure 6-2.
