SAFETYOPERATIONINSPECTION INSTALLATION
Installation Specific Safety Information
1.
The supporting structure the hoist is mounted
to
(including trolley, monorail, or crane)
must
be designed to withstand the loads and forces
imposed by the hoist for the rated load.
2.
Install in location that allows the operator
to move and stay clear of the load.
3.
Locate pendant controls at a convenient
level above the operating floor.
4.
Do not install where the load hook can
be lowered beyond the rated hook travel
under normal operating conditions.

5.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will
draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table
A
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating.
If
in
doubt,
use the next heavier gauge.
The
smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
6.
Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent
Inspection
on page
8 after installation but before use.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance Specific Safety Information
1.
Perform a “Frequent
Inspection”
at
least
monthly, see page
8.
2.
Perform a “Periodic (Thorough)
Inspection”
at
least

8.
3.
More frequent inspections are needed
for hoists that are used heavily.
4.
Raise test loads only to the minimum extent needed
and stay well clear of load at all times during testing.
