the risk of electrical shock. The standard power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug, used
with 110V unit. Make sure that the receptacle opening that receives the longest prong is properly
grounded.
•
Have ample capacity to prevent excessive voltage drop during starting and operation. When
determining the size of branch circuit components and conductors, special consideration should
be given to the starting current amps and the length of the conductors. As a minimum, the
system should be rated for 20 amps and the system should have #14 AWG or larger wiring.
•
Include slow-blow type fuses or inverse trip time circuit breakers to permit the hoist to start and
accelerate the load.
Chain Container
•
For installations where the
slack chain hanging from the hoist may be questionable or
hazardous, the use of a chain container is recommended.
•
Do not attempt to store more chain in the chain container than what is specified for the hoist or
serious damage to hoist may result and hazardous conditions may be created.
Installing a Standard Chain Container
1. Remove both bolts from the chain container mounting bracket.
2. Attach the chain container to the bracket.
3. Reinsert the bolts.
Before Each Use
⚠
WARNING
•
To avoid injury: Make sure that the structure has sufficient strength to withstand several times the
hoist and its rated load amount.
•
Inspect the hoist before each use. Do not use if it is damaged or malfunctioning in any way.
•
Examine each chain link for damage or weak links before use. Do not operate a hoist with twisted,
kinked, or damaged chain.
•
Verify and correct all chain irregularities prior to operating the hoist.
