n. Begin hoisting. Be sure that the wire rope is winding evenly and tightly around the
drum. Avoid shock loads; keep the wire rope under tension.
o. The hoist is meant for intermittent use. Under full load with a single line rig do not
power in for more than a minute without letting the motor cool down for a few minutes
and then resume the hoisting operation.
p. The hoisting operation is complete once the vehicle is on stable ground and is able
to drive under its own power.
q. Secure the vehicle. Be sure to set the brakes and place the vehicle in park.
r. Release the tension on the wire rope. The hoist is not meant to hold the vehicle for
long periods of time.
s. Disconnect the wire rope from the anchor.
t. Rewind the wire rope. Make sure that any wire already on the drum has spooled
tightly and neatly. If not, draw out the wire and re-spool from the point where the rope
is tight.
u. Keep your hands clear of the hoist drum and fairlead as the wire rope is being
drawn in.
v. Secure the hook and hook strap.
w. Disconnect the remote control and store in a clean, dry place.
x. Clean and inspect connections and mounting hardware for next hoisting operation.
HOIST ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
1. Your hoist is designed with a bolt pattern that is standard in this class of hoist.
Many hoist mounting kits are available that utilize this bolt pattern for the
mounting channels. If you will utilize the mounting channel you must ensure
that it is mounted on a flat surface so that the three major sections (motor, drum
and gear housing) are properly aligned. Proper alignment of the hoist will allow
even distribution of the full rated load.
2. Pull out a few inches of cable from the drum. Now, using the remaining cap
screws, flat washer, lock washer and nut secure the hoist to the mounting
channel.
3. Connect the battery and motor leads as the drawing above. Keep in mind that
every type of hoist is different each other.
