INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL 6000-15SH
In addition to the features found on all LUG-ALL Winch Hoists, your
Model 6000-15SH has the following special features which you should
be aware.
The handle socket can be moved to either of two positions. Lifting or
pulling and many lowering or backing off operations can be easily
accomplished with the socket in the standard position parallel to the
edge of the u-frame. To lower or back off heavy loads, you may want to
have the socket in the other position; this affords a better leverage angle,
and allows lowering and backing off to be done more easily. To move the
handle socket from one position to the other, simply remove the socket
cap screw with a
5
/
16
” hex key, slide the socket to the proper position,
and reinsert the screw.
The reversible telescoping handle is aligned in the handle socket by a
pin 5½” from its end and is fastened in place by tightening the thumb
screw on the socket.
To telescope the handle, loosen the handle locking nut (right hand thread),
slide the smaller tube to the desired position, and retighten the handle
locking nut by hand. Do not use a wrench.
The shear pin between the handle socket and u-frame is designed to
break if the Winch Hoist is seriously overloaded. The shearing of the pin
will be readily apparent from the sharp report when it snaps and the
looseness of the socket. While the Winch Hoist does not become
inoperative when the pin is sheared, an overload condition exists and
the unit should not be used until measures have been taken to reduce
the load. If it is not possible to reduce the load and the overload condition
is minor, the stops on the u-frame will allow you to complete your
immediate operation. DO NOT BEGIN A SUBSEQUENT OPERATION
BEFORE REPLACING THE BROKEN SHEAR PIN!
To replace shear pin: (1) remove the handle from the socket ; (2)
push the pieces of the broken shear pin out from the u-frame side with a
small hex wrench, a nail, or other small shaft; (3) push the replacement
shear pin into place with your fingers. It is easier to replace the shear pin
if the screw holding the handled socket is loosened first.
