Before Use
WARNING
: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply
before attaching or changing any accessories, or making any
adjustments.
Hoist installation
WARNING
: DO NOT attempt to install this hoist single-handedly.
Correct and safe installation requires more than one person.
1. Locate a suitable installation position for the hoist
Note
: The hoist is designed to be installed on a beam of at least 43mm in
diameter with a wall thickness of at least 3mm. Ensure the beam is capable
of supporting loads twice the maximum load capacity of the hoist.
2. Lift the hoist up to the beam and align the Mounting Brackets (8) with
the threaded holes on the top of the Motor Cover (7)
3. Fasten the Mounting Brackets to the Motor Cover securely, using the
Bracket Fasteners (9)
Attaching the return pulley
1. Mount the Return Pulley (14) by removing the bolts and the R-Clip
securing the Return Pulley Hook (15)
2. Feed the cable around the roller of the return pulley and attach the main
Lifting Hook (16) to the Hook Holder (6) on the Motor Cover (7) - take
care not to lose the bushes securing the Return Pulley Hook (15)
3. Re-align the Return Pulley Hook and replace the bolts and R-Clip
NOTE
: Ensure the Return Pulley is correctly mounted. When correctly
attached the hoist has a lifting capability of 500kg. When using the Lifting
Hook (16) for lifting, the capacity is reduced to 250kg. The lifting capacity is
printed on the side of each hook.
Operation
WARNING
: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and
hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this
tool.
• Once plugged into the mains power source, the hoist will be ready for
operation
• Never move the Operating Switch (11) directly between. The switch
must be moved into the central (off) position between each up or down
operation
• If the hoist is unable to lift the load, stop immediately to prevent it being
overloaded
Loading the Hoist
• Before loading, ensure the load is placed directly below the hoist. Failure
to do so could result in the load swinging freely once elevated
• Ensure that the load is free to move and is not restricted by anything. If
the load is restricted, this will cause the hoist to overload and potentially
cause severe damage. This may also invalidate the warranty
• The load must be firmly and securely attached to the Lifting Hook (16)
of the hoist
• If using a cargo sling to aid in the lifting of the load: ensure the sling is
sufficiently supporting the load, and the load is properly centred in the
sling
NOTE
: Ensure that the operating switch is in the off position so that the hoist
will not attempt to lift the load whilst being connected.
Lifting the Load
1. When the load is correctly attached, remove the cable slack slowly by
moving the Operating Switch (11) into the position
2. When the slack has been removed, ensure there are no persons within
a 5m radius of the load being lifted
3. Press the operating switch into the to lift the load to its required
position
NOTE
: Be aware of the maximum lifting capacities and height limitations
stated in the specifications.
• When the hoist reaches its height limitation it will automatically switch off
Lowering the Load
1. Before attempting to lift the load, make sure the surface the load is
to be lowered onto is capable of supporting the load, and that it is
sufficiently stable and ready to be loaded
2. Lower the load by pressing the Operating Switch (11) into the position
3. Gently lower the load ensuring that the load stabilises
4. Lower the Lifting Hook (16) an extra 30cm to ensure there is enough
cable slack to disconnect the loading hook and then lift the hook clear
of the load
NOTE
: When lifting the hook clear, ensure the cable winds onto the spool
correctly and does not cross over itself.
WARNING
: If at any point during the hoist's operation someone enters the
operating area or the load becomes unstable, press the Emergency Stop
Button (10) immediately. To release the Emergency Stop Button, rotate it
clockwise.

carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre.
This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do
not use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable
spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised Silverline service centre

• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
