SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read owner's manual completely before operating unit!

• Never exceed the maximum load capacity printed on the

top beam. The capacity includes the weight of hoist and
trolley.

• Check for damage and be sure all hardware is tight before

each use.

• Never move or load the gantry unless both height

adjustment pins are fully inserted.

• Lock all wheels perpendicular to each other before loading.
• Stand clear of hanging loads.
• Never cantilever loads off of one end of the gantry.
• When moving a load, be sure the load center is as low to

the ground as possible. If not lowered, tipping can occur.

• Never attempt to adjust the gantry beam height while a

load is attached.

• When moving is not required, always lock the casters

perpendicular to each other.

• Keep clear of electrical wires and all electrical

equipment.

• Make sure all operator safety labels are in place and

legible.
