Installation
Prior to installing the product, carefully inspect it for
possible shipping damage. Products are supplied fully
lubricated from the factory. Check oil levels and adjust
as necessary before operating product. Refer to
section for recommended oils
and lubrication intervals. Lubricate load chain before
operating hoist.

• Owners and users are advised to
examine specific, local or other
regulations, including American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and/or
OSHA Regulations which may apply to a
particular type of use of this product
before installing or putting product to
use.
Remove cover from shipping crate. Carefully remove
packing straps. Attach wire rope sling to lifting lugs on
trolley side plates and slowly lift into position.
Attach chain container to hoist with chain container
hardware, bolt chain to bracket under trolley
suspension yoke.
Air Supply
The air supply must be clean, free from moisture and
lubricated to ensure optimum motor performance.
Foreign particles, moisture and lack of lubrication are
the primary causes of premature motor wear and
breakdown. Using an air filter, lubricator and moisture
separator will improve overall product performance
and reduce unscheduled downtime. Refer to
.
Refer to
for motor air consumption and
rated operating pressure. If air supply varies from what
is recommended, product performance be diminished.
A lockable shut off valve and a pressure relief valve set
to 125 psi should be installed in the air supply line.
Air Lines
Inside diameter of air supply lines must not be less
than 1-1/2 inch. Before making final connections, all air
supply lines should be purged with clean, moisture free
air or nitrogen before connecting to main air inlet.
Supply lines should be as short and straight as
installation conditions will permit. Long transmission
lines and excessive use of fittings, elbows, tees, globe
valves, etc. cause a reduction in pressure due to
restrictions and surface friction in lines.
Air Line Lubricator
Always use an air line lubricator with these motors. The
lubricator must have an inlet and outlet at least as large
as inlet on motor manifold.

• Lubricator must be located no more than
10 ft. (3 m) from motor.
• Shut off air supply before filling air line
lubricator.
The air line lubricator should be replenished daily and
set to provide 3 to 9 drops. Refer to
. A
fine mist will be exhausted from control valve when air
line lubricator is functioning properly.
Air Line Filter
It is recommended that an air line strainer/filter be
installed before the lubricator to prevent dirt from
entering the motor. The strainer/filter should provide
20 micron filtration and include a moisture trap. Clean
the strainer/filter periodically to maintain its operating
efficiency.

• When air filter is used ensure it allows air
to pass through at products rated scfm.
Refer to Table 2, General Specifications.
Air Pressure Regulator
If an air pressure regulator is used, install between
lubricator and filter.
Moisture in Air Lines
Moisture that reaches the air motor through air supply
lines is a primary factor in determining the length of
time between service overhauls. Moisture traps can
help to eliminate moisture. Other methods, such as an
air receiver which collects moisture before it reaches
motor, or an after-cooler at compressor that cools air to
condense and collect moisture prior to distribution
through supply lines, are also helpful.
Mufflers
Ensure mufflers are installed in hoist and trolley and
control valve exhaust port. Check mufflers periodically
to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Shut Off Valve
Refer to the Product Safety Information Manual for
information.
