a.
If a swivel type hook is required, remove and discard
the keeper plate screw and keeper plate. Then
using ahammer, 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 the long axis
of the 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
the loose pin (packed with the suspension) into a
hole in the hook nut. Loosely reassemble keeper
plate to the 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.
c. Slide the suspension adapter into the cavity on
top of hoist. Install the dead end bolt and
thread it by hand to engage the dead end block
(3 and 5 ton double reeved units) or idler
sheave hanger (6 ton units). Then tighten the
dead end bolt to a seating torque of 120 pound
feet (160NM).
If the hook is to be perpendicular to long axis of hoist
per step b above, rotate the hook to that position and
firmly tighten the keeper plate screw while making sure
the loose pin engages the slot in keeper plate.
NOTE: INSTALL BREATHER IN MAIN HOUSING
AFTER HOOK SUSPENSION IS ASSEMBLED TO
HOIST. SEE PAGE 8.
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.
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. SEE
PAGE 8.

3 and 5 Ton Double Reeved 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 perpendicular to the
long axis of the hoist as follows:
