Step 1: Unpacking
1a) Unpack the Servo Hoist. Lift the hoist carefully out of packaging.
1b) Keep the accompanying documents with the hoist or near the site of operation.

2a) Servo Hoist Trolley Installation
2b) Safety Cable Installation
2c) 19-pin Coil Cable Installation
2d) 4mm and 5mm Chain Installation
Step 2a) Servo Hoist Trolley Installation:
Prior to installation visually inspect the trolley for signs of damage or missing parts.
1) Slide the trolley or adapter plate into the trolley mounting plate on top of the Servo Hoist.
(Refer to Figure 2-2)
CAUTION
Ensure that there is a (2) two-point connection when using the universal
adapter plate to hang the hoist from a structure. (Refer to Figure 2-3)
2) Insert the (2) two ½-13x1¾” (grade 8 or better) socket head cap screws (SHCS) and
(2) two washers.
NOTE
The trolley should be mounted offset of the load distribution.
3) Secure the (2) two SHCS with (2) two ½-13 reverse lock nuts. As each bolt is tightened, the
reverse lock nut will get drawn into its slot and get trapped there.
4) Install the safety cable through the servo trolley or adapter and the trolley mounting plate.
(Refer to Step 2b “Safety Cable Installation”)
