Rugby Manufacturing SR-Series Hoist Manual
Bouncing or jerking of the hoist is to be avoided as it may result in
component failure, injury or death.
Do not raise or drive a raised body against another object. Doing so
could result in equipment or property damage, injury or death.
Connecting the hoist to a hydraulic system with more pressure (psi) or
flow (gpm) than is recommended can lead to damage, serious injury,
or death
Do not operate the hoist until bystanders are free & clear of the
hoist and body.
Overloading of a truck can cause truck component damage, injury or
death. Never exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or gross axle
weight (GAW) rating of your vehicle.
Unlatch tailgate prior to elevating a loaded dump body as excessive
forces on the rear of the dump body may result in component
failure.
2.
The weights shown below each “X” value reflect the maximum empty body weights that can
be supported by the integrated body prop included with the SR series hoists. If your body
weighs more than the amount listed, an additional body prop will need to be installed.
Contact Rugby Manufacturing to order an additional body prop.
General Safety
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system supplied with an SR-series hoist manufactured by Rugby Manufacturing Co. is
made up of components (pump, valves, reservoir, hoses, cylinder, etc.) that are designed to be com-
patible with each other. Several different types of pump and hydraulic components are available to
power the SR-series hoists. Refer to the pump and hydraulic component Installation and Operation
Manual for more information.
If hydraulic components are substituted, it is the installer’s responsibility to be sure they are compatible
with the components supplied by Rugby Manufacturing Co. Incompatible hydraulic components may
cause failure of the hoist which in turn could damage the truck, damage other property, and cause human
injury or death. All Rugby Manufacturing Company’s liability and warranty for a given hoist will be voided
if it is determined by Rugby Manufacturing Co. that substituted hydraulic components were used that
were incompatible with those supplied by Rugby Manufacturing Co.
