If a hoist is used to lift a load that exceeds the hoists rated capacity, the load limiter will cause the hoist
to automatically stop lifting.

If the hoist stops lifting automatically, lower and remove the load from the hoist.
4.5.3
If the load is at or below the hoist’s capacity rating and the hoist stops lifting automatically, the load
limiter may need adjustment.

Check air line pressure to ensure adequate pressure at the hoist.

If pressure is adequate, adjust the load limiter. For load limiter adjustment, refer to Section 7.
