110V outlet.

grab the lift hook and pull it away from
the hoist while using the control switch
to lower the hoist cable by press-
ing the switch in the down position
(
figure 6

3.

Cable options.
never fully unwind the cable from the
electric hoist. always leave at least 3
turns of cable on the hoist spool to
prevent the cable from detaching.
4.
securely attach the item being lifted
by using the lift hook (for single cable
use), or the pulley lift hook (for double
cable use).
never wrap the cable around the item
being lifted and hook it onto the cable
itself. damage to the object and fray-
ing of the cable can result.
5.
Check that all bystanders are clear and
that the item has a clear path of move-
ment.
6.
Use the control switch to retract the
cable (
figure 6
). Watch or have an
assistant view the cable as it winds up
on the hoist spool. to prevent damage
to the hoist cable, make sure that the
cable is wound evenly, as shown in
figure 9
.
