FOREWORD
This book contains important information to help you install,
operate, maintain and service your new SHAWBOX electric
hoist. We recommend that you study its contents thoroughly
before putting the hoist into use. Read ANSI B30.16 safety
code for hoists. Then, thru proper installation, application of
correct operating procedures, and by practicing the
recommended maintenance suggestions you can expect
maximum lifting service from the hoist.
It will likely be a long time before parts information found in
Section IX is needed; therefore, after the hoist is installed and
you have completely familiarized yourself with operation and
preventive maintenance procedures, we suggest that this book
be carefully filed for future reference.
When ordering replacement parts from this book, it will be
necessary that you include, with your order, the Hoist Serial
Number, Model Number and Catalog Number which is found
on the nameplate attached to motor end of hoist (Figure 4-1).
For your convenience, a space has been provided on the front
cover of this Manual for entering this information. We
recommend that you fill it out immediately so it is readily at
hand when needed.

hoist down for servicing. A hinged side cover gives quick access to electrical components. Removable lightweight aluminum end
